Dearest Family,
I just love you so much! I
don´t think there is a luckier person in the world. This week was great. It had
its opposition but so does anything that is worthwhile in this world. We had
more lessons this week with a member then we have had all transfer. And we had
huge support for Mikaela´s baptism. I was extremely happy because more people
came to her baptism then the stake activity the following day.
We had a rather funny moment
though. I think I mentioned that I we live in the middle of centro? Well we
were walking from out pension to the church through centro centro with 3 plates
of brownies and in the 5 blocks to the church 6 people stopped us to talk to
us! This is coming from the same five blocks that people try to avert our gaze
(like that is going to stop us from talking to them) and reject a good 19 times
out of 20. I found it hilarious. I think we will walk around centro with plates
of brownies from now on! But who can say no to hot brownies smothered in
chocolate and dulce de leche.
Had my first interview with
President Goates. He is such a good guy! Way different from President Avila. It
is official. I am coming home the end of September. He denied my plea for an
extension. He too showed me my itinerary. It broke my heart, but I have been
smart and misleading everyone in the ward that I still have a ton of time left,
and if anything knowing when I go makes me even want to work harder. My poor
companion. It is a good thing she loves me!
I studied prayer a lot this
week, and put it into practice even more. I feel like there are so many
blessing just waiting for us, and just like it says in the english bible
dictionary so many of these blessing are conditional on us asking for them.
Sometimes it just blows my mind!!! How lucky are we? Can you imagine your life
without prayer? I sure can´t and there is nothing more powerful then when you
teach someone to open their heart to their Heavenly Father and you find
yourself listening to some of the first sincere communication between child and
Father. Thank you for the prayers you send in my direction. I really do feel
the power of those prayers! I love you all so much!
The gospel is true.
Life is wonderful!
