Querido
familia!!
First
off, Jordan and Ryan I felt like a jerk when I sent off the letter last week
without a shout out. This week I was trying to explain how crazy my family is
to my companion and shared a couple experiences of when you cut the boys hair
and three in the morning, and Cameran like Avatar. And then I laughed as I
recalled experiences from paint balling and by the reaction of my companion she
thinks you two are pretty hilarious.
And
Ben, yes Emily told me you passed the bar but it is weird that we have an
attorney in the family. As if family reunions were not complicated enough. Just
kidding. And your proposition as to which you will not use my name for your son
or daughter is LAME!! But I will take the compliment! Thanks!
Hannah!!
Tyler is beautiful!! And promise me you will give me loads of time with him in
a year or so. This week the cutest little girl fell and I ran to her and as I
got there I realized that I couldn´t even pick her up. Oh it broke my heart. I
miss holding children so bad! And the news of new nieces and nephews isn´t
helping!! Maddy and Mom you better appreciate all time you have!!
This
week..... was warm and AWESOME!! I ironically threw my first baby shower this
week, and it was a huge success. The ward I have been in for the past four
months is not united at all. At activities no one ever comes but for the last 4
weeks we challenged every family we have visited to pray and specifically ask
for the unity in the ward. This week at the baby shower we had loads of less
actives come and we had almost twice as many people show up then normally come
to Relief Society. The spiritual message was good and when we left everyone was
laughing and eating to their hearts content. We also had a good turn out to
Relief Society the next day.
This
week is probably my last week in this area. We have loads of people we are
teaching and it is sad I always seem to leave an area as it is flourishing. But
whatever I am over it. Guess I will just have to work crazy hard.
We
have a really crucial lesson tonight at 7. One of our investigators was placed
through the ringer last week and she needs the strength that comes from the
gift of the Holy Ghost. Pray for us and Cristina. Mateo 7:7.
I love
you all so much! Thank you for your prayers and all your support. Sometimes I
forget all that everybody does so that I have amazing weeks hear in the
field.
The
Gospel is true.
Life
is wonderful!
Love,
Un-hombre-obvio
