Mi familia!
Howdy!!!!!!!!!! Man oh man,
what a great day!! I remembered my camera today tambien :) So this week was
pretty good we found two more people who accepted a baptism so that was good.
We had a good church tour with the family we’re teaching, but they didn’t come
to church because they were sick :( But we will help them :).
Ok, so we met this lady this
week and she's probably 30 or something and so we had a good first lesson with
her and like right in the middle she says: "Oh, where are y’all from?"
and Elder Roth says, "Utah" and she just responds so quickly, “Yankee.”
“And you?” (pointing to me), and I was like, “Oh, I’m from Tennessee.” And then
she goes “yeaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!” and just wanted to talk to me – hahaha it was
way funny. So we go over Sunday night to see why she didn’t come to church and
she answers the door falling-over drunk, and so we sit down to talk and she
just looks at me and goes, "Have you gained weight?" I was just like
oh come on, gosh dangit is it that bad? hahaha it was super funny, though. Oh
and Presidente Maluenda says “hi.” It was way cold here on Friday, too, I wore
those pajama pants you sent me for Christmas under my regular pants to keep me
warm!
The work is going great
though, at times it is hard, so hard that you don’t really know what to do
other than to just keep going, but as we go through those hard times with
faith, trusting that the Lord can see the bigger picture, we come out more
refined and more like Him. Challenges are a great blessing sometimes.
Oh, also because of the Navy
base on the Bluff there are all these sweet planes flying around us. We saw one
and Elder Roth goes, "What’s that thing in Call of Duty MW2 that flies around?"
and I was like: "AC130?" y el me dijo"no" y entonces le
djie"UAV?" y el me dijo "si" haha [from Google Translate: and he said, "no" and then I said "UAV?" and he said "yes"] So I saw a real life UAV
so that was kinda cool, tambien.
All is well though in Flour
Bluff the Lord is definitely helping us in His work. Also I was reading this
week in D&C 138 and it was talking about the vision that Joseph F Smith saw
and it is a super good chapter y’all should read it. I love my mission though
it just continues to help me learn and grow into the person the Lord wants me
to be. As we seek to do His will we become more like Him in our daily lives.
How's everything at home
