Happy birthday daddy!!!!
Hey daddy, can you forward this to mom and rachel? Its good to hear from
you all! I am here in quillabamba still, we tecnically have no progressing
investigators at this time, however we have a few that are almost
considered progressing lol. I have never worked so hard and seen so little
results. Its even harder watching other missionaries work less and reep
more benefits. You cant help but wonder... am i doing everything right,
everything possible to help our investigators, and the Lord is testing me,
or am doing something wrong and need to change? I dont know to be honest.
But, I am so grateful to my heavenly for the people i have met. Veder is
really our investigator with the most progression. its amazing how the
jovenes... the youth of the branch have just taken him under their wing. It
makes all the difference. He goes to early morning seminary, he likes to go
to the church to play the piano, he is giving references, we just have to
get him to really commit! and also, get ahold of his dad, who doesnt have
his phone and went to work in the jungle for a while... so thats also
difficult. Also, all the catholic schools have this thing called desfile on
sundays and its required. but we are doing the best we can. man its been a
rough change. Grateful, i know i am learning a lesson i have never had to
learn. There is so much that has happened, and i have been so humbled, and
i have a feeling its not going to stop until i have been humbled to the
dust. And thats a good thing... but man, sometimes you wonder how much more
you can take. How much more can I possibly be stretched without breaking? I
love what destin said,"You wont die." also, i know that was your phrase
mom whenever things got rough. And its true, i wont die, And i am happy,
because i know i have been sooooo blessed. beyond what i could even
deserve. There is a season for everything.
Rach- i had a funny dream, i dreamed that i was with you guys and you were
all packing up to go to england, and i saw that you packed my blanket to
give to boston and maddie!!! i ripped it out from under boston, and even
though he started to cry, i just said to him, no! Hermana swartz´s blanket.
hahahaha. it was very similar to joey on friends when he rips hugsey away
from emma... strange dream lol.
DAddy, i hope your birthday rocked. i promise next year i´ll make you a
mean chocolate cake. I thought about you all day that day! 54, wow.
impressive. I love the pictures you sent, they are awesome. i just want you
to know, you are the best father i could have ever asked for. you have
always given everything you could to us, and you gave me a good example of
how a husband should treat his wife and daughters. I will not settle for
anything less than flowers every 3 to six months hahaha. Thank you daddy, i
love you sooo much, and i am sooo blessed to be your daughter.
Welp i think thats all for now. Just keep praying for our investigators,
they really need it. we need them to recieve answers to their prayers. I
love you all!!!!
