Mom - Thank you again for all the
updates on the Olympics!! I did hear that the USA basketball team won from
Zondy, but the medal count was something I was hoping for, and you bring glad
tidings of great joy by telling me that the States pulled back ahead! USA! USA!
USA! USA! And yes, it was Eric ha ha... oh man. Speaking of which, Elder Hill
has already been out for like a year now! Crazy! Anyway, I'm glad you're doing
great, and that you had a fun time watching the Olympics! I'm sad I missed it,
but the Winter Olympics will start shortly after I get home, right? Where are
those at? Anyway, love you Mom, and I'm glad you're doing great. :)
Dad - Hawaii?? Sweet! I've heard
that Hawaii is a lot like Puerto Rico, just with less people and they speak
English haha. But I'm glad you're having a good summer, and that you are all
doing well. Your adventure with the lawn mower in the marsh sounds like it was
fun haha. And all that information from that meeting was great! I took a
picture of the email so I can review it in more depth later, thank you!!
Marilee - I already wrote you back.
:)
Anyway, finally a normal week. And
my goodness was it long! It just wasn't our week this week haha… all of our
investigators basically fell through on us, so we hardly taught any of them. We
did teach one, named Doel, who is the husband of a member. He's a great
prospect, and I have a lot of hope for him! He and his son are good prospects
to be baptized I think. Besides that, we didn't have too many other lessons...
:( We did a lot of contacting and we taught some other less active members and
whatnot, but our investigators just were too busy. We have some hope for this
week, and Bishop Nieves is really pushing the work here. He's doing such a
great job, and is inviting families over to his house for FHE and everything,
and is inviting us over to meet them and stuff before we start teaching them so
that they feel more comfortable and stuff. He is amazing! He is really bringing
about a great work here, and is probably the best part about Guayanilla. This
week has some promise, and we have a member present lesson set up for tonight
with another promising investigator.

Anyway, today was a different day.
We all went to Ponce, from both the Ponce and Mayaguez zones, and had a special
zone conference with Elder Zivic, the second counselor in the area presidency.
He is from Argentina, and he is a great man! He is a great teacher, and we were
all uplifted and edified much by what he taught. He helped us know what we need
to do to become Preach my Gospel missionaries, and gave us the steps and
everything we need to take. He helped us to see that the mission goals help us
to better ourselves and help our areas grow. He's just a very flowing teacher,
and reminded me a lot of Pres. Dibble.
Well, I wish I had more to write,
but honestly like I said, there was a lot of contacting done this week. I'm
really hoping that this week brings a little more success, and I have a good
feeling about it. We keep doing our best and working hard and having faith, and
I'm sure we'll see success soon.
Thank you family for all that you do
and for all your support! I love you all so much, and it is always so wonderful
to me to hear from you and know you're doing great. :) Again, I'm sorry I don't
have much more to say.. but just know that I love you all very much. Send my
love to the dogs, too! Thank you for everything. :)
Con
muchísimo amor
