Well
family, another week goes by and we just keep pushing on! This week was
alright, we had a lot of meetings, and I'll get to that in a second. But it was
still pretty good I think. :)
Mom - I do try to eat my
veggies haha, so don't worry. Oh, you'll be happy to know that I ate broccoli
this week. So ha! I love you. :)
Dad - It is pretty crazy
to think how fast time has gone, and to think that it's just ticking away
faster every day. Yikes! It's good to hear that things are warming up a bit
over there - that means it's gonna start getting hotter down here too.
Hurricane season's just around the corner, so we'll see what happens there!
Anyway, I hope you're all doing well. :) I love you too Dad!
Marilee - Hey there! I
love you too Marilee! I hope you're doing great, and I'm still looking for a
llama! They're not really into them here in PR, so I'm having trouble with that
haha, but I will keep looking! :)
Moving to our area, we
are still seeing miracles with our investigator R… D…. He's just an incredible
young man, and has been prepared by the Lord. If he is the only fruit from the
train contacting, then it was all worth it, because he will be such a strong
member as the years go by. I'm so thankful for the opportunity I've had to get
to know him and teach him, and I am really looking forward to his baptism on
the 23rd!
We also had a good
experience with G…, the daughter or daughter-in-law of another investigator.
She came in late to the lesson, but she was really impacted by it. She was
really pensive, and promised to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. We are
really hoping that her husband will start to listen as he sees the changes in
her, because that would be a complete family, and they're a very sweet family.
I'm looking forward to getting to know them better and love them even more.
The B… family couldn't
come to church again for whatever reasons they came up with, but this week the
dad is supposed to get a car, so no excuses for this Sunday! We had a good
lesson with them about the Doctrine of Christ, and the mom said she'd prepare
for the 30th. They need some more work with the Word of Wisdom, so I think
that's where we'll be focusing this week.
Besides that, we weren't
able to teach N… or A… this week, but we have appointments for both of them
this week, so we're hoping to help them both with their marriage situations
right now, so they can both set some firm dates to get married.
We have some pretty
sweet investigators, they just need to act.
Other than that, we had
our Interviews zone conference and also our zone leader's council this past
week (2 meetings in a row..), so that was interesting. They were both really
good, and I learned a lot from both of them on how to be a better missionary,
so.. that's good, right? :) Haha anyways, I'm really tired, but I'm really
happy. I'm glad to hear that spring is coming. Things are always better when
it's sunny outside. :) Love you all so very much, and I look forward to hearing
from you again next week!
Con mucho amor,
