"JM got baptized"
Her Zone - I think!
"Big, fat pregnant cow" Look at the one in the back, a super jealous cow -
she said the gave that one water later.
"Just relaxing after a little service."
(I asked Morgan about her shower - she said it is not in the house. I wondered where it was and what it was like!)
The Womens Conference...no. We don't get to see it and as for Conference, I AM SOOOO EXCITED. SO, SO excited!! We get to watch it in the comfort of our little church house. Literally house. but i am so glad. Usually they have to take a bus to Chimaltenango for the general conference, but we get to stay in San Martin which will be so much easier to get investigators there. It is going to be weird to watch it in Spanish. But i am so excited still!! I literally love general conference. I have invited all of the branch here to come to Utah and stay with us and go to general conference. So prepare! hahaha
J M GOT BAPTIZED!!! It was amazing. He is so happy! and I am just stoked out of my mind for him. Pictures to come! This week was a wild week. Lots of disappointments. Satan was working hard to discourage us. We had like 3 investigators in one day tell us they didnt want us to come back. That is so hard. We had a miracle in church. 3 investigators who haven't been to church in a LONG time came. and after, there was a problem with a member and the mom said she wasn't going to go back to church until she got an apology. Ah super frustrating.
BUT WE HAD MIRACLES. so this one day we were looking for this contact. S. The only direction we had was...the street of the bank BAM red house. K....this street runs alllllll the way through San Martin, and there are millions of red houses. So we are walking...and Hermana Villacis and I both just stop and turn around as we passed this house. We asked the lady who was out front if S lived in this house....and she said YES!! hahaha oh my goodness.. What an amazing experience, and the lesson was incredible. He is so excited about this whole thing. I can already feel how prepared he is for this message. What a miracle.
We have a convert who is very inactive. We have been working so hard to get her back to church and last night we have family night with a bunch of the members and SHE CAME! What a miracle. Seriously. It is going to help her so much to feel more comfortable in the church
I had a dream about market square the other night! HAHAHAHA I woke up laughing..and crying. I kind of miss Market Square. hahaha but part of my dream was like all my jackets. I know this is a weird dream. but you know how much I love my jackets!! hahaha too funny!! How is Market Square treating you these days dad...hope its doing well!! I finally finished off my rootbeer barrells!! THE PEOPLE HERE LOVE THEM! ok, the little kids....the little kids love them almost as much as I love the little kids!! I am OBSESSED with the people here!! Seriously. They are amazing!!!
Yesterday we went to Colinas for P day with the district. IT is church property...sort of like Heber Valley camp...just not as nice. They have a few little obstacle courses, and lots of open fields...hahaha but it was a nice day!! After my comp and I went to the Pacas in Chimal...which are like DIs. I didn't buy anything but they have some good stuff. Like skirts for 20Q...aka like 2 dollars or something...3 maybe.
I just hope you know how amazing it is that we have the knowledge of this gospel. It is such a blessing. There are so many people who are so lost and don't know it. This work is the best thing in the world. I am so grateful for this wonderful opportunity. I hope you know how much I love my Savior. How grateful I am for his sacrifice. I know we think we suffer so much in this life...but we will never suffer as much as he did for us...so we can have peace an happiness in this life. Kind of ironic...i am realizing how prideful and selfish I am. How embarrassing. Thank goodness I have the chance to change. I love my mission. I love my family here in San Martin. I love my family back in the states. I am so grateful for all of your examples and love and support. Keep being amazing. Keep reading the Book of Mormon everyday. My Libro de Mormon is a treasure. I would literally die if I lost it..it is kind of like my diary. I know this book changes lives. Keep being strong in the church. Help the missionaries. Share your testimonies. It is a privilege that we, as members of the church, have the opportunity to help in the world of Salvation. We need to do all we can. There is Urgency in the work. Soooo....all of you...stop reading and get to work! GO SHARE THE JOY THAT WE HAVE!!!
LOVE YOU ALLL!!!!
