8/27/2007Well hello there. How has it all been, sounds like it has gone well. Well, I didn’t know Justin had a wake board or a boat, they have more than just their pontoon boat, just trying to keep up on these things.
Nana and papa, when you see those investigators at church you need to help them, talk to them, be their friends. It is so stressful having people at church because they need to be able to feel the spirit and the love that comes from the members. The only thing i wish when we have people at church is that the members talk to them, take them to their classes, sit with them, are with them the whole time because as missionaries we come and go but the members are always there.
Mom, when we visit frutillar and pto varas we can stay with alejandra and matthias, nice how i volunteer them but it is true and they both speak English and so you don’t have to worry about it, you will be able to talk, adn the couple in punta arenas, he speaks English, there are people here and there. Plus i will be with you the entire time. So don’t worry about a thing. So, hna agurto wrote me and told me that they are getting married the 8th of February. Mom, i have no idea but do i have money in my bank account to be able to pay for my plane ticket? So that i can be there for her wedding? Let me know. Keep me updated on that. I don´t know what is going to happen with my classes, i am going to have to pray and all to let you know. I will get you back on that. I think i want to get back in february with whatever classes i can take, i don’t want to wait so much time, but classes for my minor or for religion or something to get back in the groove.
We had a baptism this week....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was a miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were sooooooo catholic. They are sooooooooooooo funny. They almost got baptized three times and backed out everyyyyyyyyyyy time. When my new comp got here i was ready to stop visiting them, I was done. But that day they said they were in for it and going to keep up with their baptism. Satan worked soooooooooooooooooo strongly with them, they are 78 and 77. their family doesn’t want anything with the church. So we have worked osoooo hard with them for the last month. But i have shared with them for like four or five months already. We went to pick them up for teh interview and they weren’t there, we couldn’t find them!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh. Satan. Then for their baptism it was raining soooooooooo hard and soooo cold. So they didn’t get there and there they came. JJJJJ soooooooooo cute. Then yesterday at church they never showed up, church started and everyone was like oh noooooooooooooo, where are they. So we left the sacrament meeting to go find them, and there they came, hand in hand walking to church!! JJJJJ just in time. It was soooooooooooooooo awesome. They are so sweet and so happy. Their family doesn’t know they got baptized. Satan worked sooo hard on them. But I put my whole soul in to them too. They love each other so much it made my heart hurt to think that they couldn’t be together for the eternity if they didn’t get baptized. Esteban, teh husband is just like add but this guy neverrrrrr shuts up. Seriously, neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. He is so funny. I have gotten really close to them. They are amazing and it was so amazing when they received their answer to know the truth, to know this is the church and to know it is what they had to do. They were so excited to receive the holy ghost. She has depression badly and ever since sh e got her answer she has been so happy. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the gospel!!!!!!!!!!1 i love it, it makes people soooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy.
Baptisms always go badly too. Nobody gets there, nothing is organized, blah blha balh. They are always a disaster and it doesn’t matter how much you plan and organize. Yeah, so it was the most amazing thing. The pres is out of town and the pres of rr also. And so we knew we were going to have to do everything by ourselves. We got to the church an hour early and everythingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg was ready and perfect, it looked so pretty the rooms the chapel. The font was being filled, there was music playing, obsequieos ready to go for visitors, everything as perfect, the heater going. I wanted to cry. The branch has never done that, never done anything like that. I was so happy. I wanted to give the guy the biggest hug that did it. I told him i would but he is a man. JJJ and i am a missionary. Seriously i wanted to cry, it was so awesome. A perfect baptism. It was awesome and they were so happy. It made mee sooooo happy. I I pray that they will make it to the temple in one year more.
it was the most amazing thing. i can’t tell you happy i am for them. the gospel is true. I have been studying the bible a lot lately. the more I study it the more i realize that our church is true and that everythingggggggggggggggggggggggg we teach is supported in the bible, that it is so true. god lives, Christ lives and through him we can be happy and we have the restored church on the earth and I love it and I am so happy to be able to share it with people. I know the lord loves me and has so much in store for me. I am so blessed. I do love the mission, it doesn’t matter that I have had a cold for six weeks and am not getting better, only getting worse, but I love life, I love what I am doing. I have met so many amazingggggggggggg people that have such big places in my heart now that mean so much to me.
mom, you would be so grateful for hna rojas, she does soooooooooooooo much for us. she takes care of us sooooooooooooo much. she brought us fire wood last nights, sticks because we only have big logs. it was soooooooo cold and we were dying. she is amazing and has the biggest heartttttttttt and her family is aweosmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. they are so fun and are the only ones that always help us.
anyway, take care, hope all is well. thanks for everything you do. peace out.
