Hi Everyone,
Wow what a past week, it has been GOOD! We have been working really hard with our
investigators who are getting baptized this Saturday! I am super excited for
them! My little abuelita Faustina has progressed so well! She has never missed
a teaching visit with us, has read everything we´ve left her with, and has come
to Church every single Sunday since we´ve met her! Our other investigator Jessica, has been
progressing really well too! She has had some doubts and what not, but every time
we resolve them with a prayer or a scripture and she ends up really emotional and
just says “I know it’s all true”. She is really excited for her baptism and is
so ready for a change in her life! Little
Mateo who is 9 years old, is just great! It’s been a little difficult teaching him
because he lives in a different city, but he comes to Church with his Uncle and
Grandma, who are in our ward, and he had his interview yesterday for the
baptism and he is so ready! He kind of
looks like a little Tim Burton character, haha but not like a scary one, he
has really big eyes for his very very thin body so I have to admitt I always think that when I see him,
but he is just a stud of a kid and very excited to see us and he melts me to the core!
The stake of Merlo last night did an
activity for the youth who want to serve missions. Elder Wilson, Elder Nilsen, Hermana
Andreason, Hermana Waite, and I sang at it! It was a really cool activity that
got the youth excited for missions!
It’s getting hotter here and it is
only spring but I love the heat here! I am getting super a tan! I think the
years of tanning has made my skin immune from burning because everyone else
that I live with ends up with a sun burn at the end of the day, so thank you
Beaches for your contribution to my Mission haha! We have two fans and believe it or not I get
cold at night so sleeping with the sheets you sent THANKS but I am sure it will
HEAT up. The bug bites are not as many
now. Oh and that pair of pants you sent
fit perfect so that is the size I could use some more of when you have time,
Thanks Mom! I sent some letters for you to deliver to a few folks if you would
Mom it is cheaper to send it this way as each one individually is costly for me. I haven’t gotten any Christmas packages yet
but the Zone Leaders and maybe me, if I get transferred, will be going in to the
office this week so I will look forward to seeing them.
How is the family and what are your
plans for Thanksgiving? Has Lyn's decided to
do Cheer or go for the Volleyball Court next year? Wyatt’s playing basketball, does he ever slow
down?
As for groceries Mom, I don’t buy a
whole lot of them as we eat lunch at a members house and then if I have time in
the evening I just east some noodles with oil and salt, that’s the secret to
the my weight maintence, don’t get me wrong I would probably eat if there were
something decent around or to buy!
Here are some recent photos and as you can see not everyone
here is our fan. Someone threw a beer can through our window, perhaps thats what they mean when they say "THIS BUDS FOR YOU" or maybe even someone thought we could use a “DRINK” HAHA.
