Daddy, can you forward this to everyone please??? Thanks pops. I loved
your email haha with the 15 year olds... some times i feel the same way
with investigators, only instead of drinking redbull, theyre drinking hard
liquor. so fun. Mom, sounds like a blast in canada!!! oh my lanta, so fun.
sometimes a getaway with friends is exactly what we need. Hey did you guys
get my package, i sent a package with some music... I reallly hope you got
it!
Rachel, i would love more of the physician formula concelear. the make up
is not so great here. I love love love hearing about my adorable nefews and
neice... i had a dream that you are going to have another baby in february,
just a heads up on that. that would be way cool if you guys go to london
for a few months!!! cool oportunity!!!
Destin, wow. Russia is tough, but fascinating. My key indicators are
normally contacts, 50 ish, with member 15, 12, 10 10, 12 new, less active
and converts 10. ish. Its a little tough with the members sometimes, but
the whole mission is now really focusing on getting the members to
participate in the ward and branch mtc. they have to get contacts, and give
away books of mormon, and at the end they graduate, but it teaches the
members how to share the gospel so we can work on a bigger scale! i am
soooo excited.
Yesterday we had district conference, we sang a special number and then
president called me up to sing a duet with him hahahaha oh man, so we sang
on the spot... it was really special ahaha. But i feel so grateful for all
of the blessings i have recieved and i can not imagen my life with out this
mission. I have truly been so blessed with incredible opportunities, its
incredible. my panion has a transfer, and i am staying here in the jungle.
i wont get to finish training her. President told me he is putting hermana
creek as my companion. She is an american sister that is struggling with
the language, and hasnt had much help from her companions. pres has never
put two american sisters together before... and we are from the same group,
we were together in the mtc! so that will be interseting, but i am really
sad to not be with hermana ayala. she is so christ like and really has
tought me so much about how to serve. i love her so so much. oh well, such
is the mission.
oh daddy you asked about how are my investigators... this month has been a
little rough. but we have three baptisms scheduled for the 28th. we have
been working really hard with isabel, she is around 60 yrs old and feels
she is too old to get baptized and feels embarrassed. we are really working
to help her feel that age does not matter to christ. Tambien we have 2
kids, 9 and eleven and they come from part member families. and want to be
baptized. so thats good. anyway, please pray for isaabel to have the
courage and the kids to have the support from their families to be
baptized.
