Dearest Family,
I was brought to tears as I read emails today. I want to
particularly like to thank Abby, Mom, and Becky. It brought back a flood of
memories. I am so grateful for the people who have influenced, and continue to
influence me to do good! I am grateful for the influence Mark has had on our
family. And know that I was praying for you all especially the Mulfords this
week.
This week was rough. We tried to find, and find, and find,
but didn´t have much success. We had planned a día blanca for the 22nd of
February, and were hoping for at least the minimum of 9 baptisms of the 15 we
are preparing. But yesterday we ended up dropping the I....... family (which
broke my heart), which were 4 of the secure baptisms, and no one attended
church this week. I have been very blessed in my mission and it had been the first
time that no investigators have come to church in many months. With that we
will have to focus really hard on Camila, Sergio, Lydia, Karen, and Lourdes who
have the required amount of Assistencias but I don´t know if they will be
fully prepared by the 22nd. But we will do all we can and leave it to the hands
of the Lord.
Pray for Lydia, she is down to 5 cigarettes a day, (came
down from 40), but she needs to move out of Enzo´s house this week, and they
have nothing, but she is fairly determined. And yesterdays lessons was super
powerful.
We had an awesome ward activity this week. I took Aspen
Foolies to a new level and we had a blast. Also I brought Nutella and basically
I am every ones favorite missionary. ....not that I wasn´t before..... Jk. But
only 1 investigator made it and no one brought friends, but it was a blast and
I am confident that if we do another one in two weeks everyone will bring the
neighborhood children. And mom sent me peanut butter cookie mix so the food
will not lack there. (Thanks for your inspiration, Mom) P.s. we always try to
bring members to lessons and as we analyse who would be best we generally come
up with the same three people and as I was thinking how awesome it would be to
have my family in the ward I was serving in. Not only would we probably double
the population of San Rafael, but the fellowshiping would be ridiculous! So
though I can´t have you here in Argentina with me. So help me, you better be
fellowshipping where you are!!
Hna. Sorensen sends home 14 pictures a week, and I think I
have probably sent home 14 pictures my whole mission. But I will send a
couple.
1. LOOK NUTELLA!! put to good use.
2. Turns out sending me to barter at the market in Ecuador
at age 10 was not a bad idea. Turns out I still have the old touch!
