¿COOOOOMOOOO ESTAMOS!!? Well
this week has been a blast! I have no idea why but it was. It has been
raining all week and finally we have a little sunshine. We started the
beautiful day off by playing a little friendly game of soccer. We had 18
elders Playing soccer. It was a blast. Not sure If I told you guys but
we have a discount on the fields right behind our house and we can play
really cheap. The soccer field is right behind our house and is a really
nice Turf field.
So the reason why the letter got there on Friday... On Monday
night the cyber had problems and I was doing numbers and writing at the
same time so it was freaking out. I clicked the send button and it said
it was sent. Signed out, and left. We get a call from the AP´s saying
we had to email them something on Friday... I sent the email and saw
that there was an email in the drafts... Clicked on it and it was your
letter. So I resent it... Sorry... Stupid computers down here are worse
than the one we had in the family room.
Congratulations to my lil bro! Good job kid you
graduated... ¨Your a big kid now!¨ Now time to get the stupid Eagle
project done and quit screwing around!! GET IT DONE!! Time is ticking
away. By the way... Why wasn´t I offered money for my eagle? I´m glad
to see Chris gave him a $100 dollars in change. Better than $100 dollars
in ones. Looked like I was going to go to a ¨club¨... That would be a
little difficult with Quarters! haha
Good news with Luis! His wife who is a member is
returning to church and is planning to go to the temple! Now they are
all really pushing him to get baptized. He now has a date for the 29 of June!
We had a really spiritual lesson with a couple of the family members.
The grandma that is 95 years old is going to get sealed to her husband
that passed away. The whole family is now planning on going. Really
giving a little bit of urgency to Luis. He is really excited to get
baptized.
So scary story for the week... Friday we are walking
into our Apartment and we say Hi to a guy walking in also. He doesn´t
pay any attention to us and keeps walking my comp walks faster and walks
in front of him off to his side and says hello again. The guy finally
responds and my comp looks down at him and starts to walk really fast. I
jog a little to catch up to him and He says ¨Walk... Faster¨ He doesn´t
speak any English but managed to say that. I ask why and he says ¨Do
it¨ We walk faster and we get to our stairs and I look back at the dude
and he´s got something in his hand. My comp tells me it was a pistol. We
had no idea who the guy was and why he was there and why he had a gun.
He snuck in through the gate where the cars come in past the gate guys.
We were a little nervous.
So we have an hermana in our ward that every Sunday
we have to give one of her family members a blessing. There was a week
that the two sets of elders had passed by her house and she asked them
and us for blessings for the whole family! We are trying to figure out
how to tell her that´s not quite how blessings work. She is a single mom
and has a 15 year old daughter that has a 1 year old baby. I thought
that was crazy! but every time we go there we have to give blessings to
everyone! Any advice on how to handle that one?
This week we destroyed! We had over 64 lessons, 7
with fecha, 5 in church, 23 new people and a baptism this Saturday! if
you can pray for Valentina. She is part of the Catholic family and is
going to be the example for the rest of them.
Dad
is right I have learned a lot in my mission that I will be doing later
in Life and with my future family! I have learned a ton! I have been a
little frustrated lately because I feel like a get these promptings and
then they end up backfiring. I feel like I should talk to someone and
they end up being a jerk to us!
Well
the husband of Edith went to a high priest activity and loved it. His
wife told us he was dancing with his wife and laughing the whole time. I
guess he really liked it. His name is Omar. Daniela
and Javiera (the daughters) have started working and Edith says they
don´t have time but we helped her realize that what we are doing is more
important and she is going to start being more direct with them. Pray
for them!
We
have a mission conference with everyone and President is having his
last talk with us before he goes home. I´m a little ticked that I have
gone 2 years with one MP and the last cambio I´m here he´s leaving!
Kinda bummed. I might see Jason mitton... Depends on if he gets here
right when I leave or if he gets here earlier. If he gets sent to the
outside I won´t see him at all!
Well not much else happening. Still trying to get used to my comp! Thank you
for the puppy postcard and the letters. Tell Ainsley to make sure she
is happy also! Goodness I can´t wait to see that little stinker! She is
so dang cute and funny. Her letters are really funny!
Well I love you all and miss you tons!
