thats dope!! Im excited that it all worked out. It seems to be a really good schedule. I even will have wednesday nights free to do 2 for 1 night skiing at sundance(; im fine if i dont get into philosophy cause that weather class seems interesting too and it marks off my physical science credit as well.
I can see how its probably been a hard week. Im glad you are able to relieve a little bit of her responsibilities at least. thats so sad about what her little girl said. SHe is bigger than i thought, i think she may end up having memories of this time. I like the advice her bishop gave to her. I know thats true. We can accept the fact that bad things happen in our life and move forward with Christ, or we can self destruct. I hope she stays determined to keep going. Its just sad cause suicide never is the answer. I wish he could have found another solution. I will be praying for them.
Thats fun about your lunch date today. Im glad you will be able to see her again. I remember how you guys would sit in the culdesac and talk for hours. Thats sooooo lame about her bf. Literally he gave no explanation? HOW? HE wasted a lot of time and effort on her just to blow her off at the end.
WHAT!??!?!? LETS GO MOMMA! THATS MY MOMMA MISSIONARY!! MÃE MISSIONÀRIA!!!! Im excited for that girl who came back as well!!
So this week was good. Its sad cause we will probably end the transfer without baptizing. Its a little frustrating. Only the second time in my mission that this is happening. We are working a lot, but i know we can do better. President told us this in our staff meeting yesterday. Cause the staff didnt baptize very well this month. He pretty much said "I know you guys are working hard, but i also know there is more that you guys can be doing." So im repented now and im gonna go back at it with a new effort and work ethic. I know we will be blessed. We already have a lot of good people. Most importantly is this couple Paula and Cristiano. Paula came for the 3rd sunday in a row and finally she brought Cristiano this week. It was awesome. We had ward conference and that awesome stake president talked again. Cristiano liked the meeting a lot and they even went to a FHE last night at an awesome members house. It was a good time as well. We are also gonna work a lot with that Luis that ive talked about before in these next weeks. We are planning on bringing a member to his house this week and doing a strong baptismal invite. We also have 2 pretty firm baptisms with the referral from dr. rey and also another little girl who is coming back to church with her mom recently. Her mom was baptized in paraguay like 20 years ago, but she was inactive when her daughter was born so she was never registered in the church records. so shes gonna turn 8 years old here in like a month, and we willl baptize her. So its looking pretty good. Im a little sad with the results from this past month, but i know we are building up a good group right now that i hope will give lots of fruits in the future. Its kinda good to know ill be here in this area until august so i can be able to plan out a few things a little better. Like if we know someone might take a while to be baptized its not a huge deal for us.
OH AND ONE REALLY COOL EXPERIENCE! We took paula to a baptism of the sisters this saturday. She had a ton of studying to do but decided to come anyway. It was a super super spiritual baptism. This lady gave the spiritual thought and it was literally for Paula. I could see the loook on paulas face she was literally amazed. Then me and my comp and the sisters sang that primary song about baptism thats like "i like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain". Paula was teary eyed in the end. The spirit was super strong. It was a great experience for her. When we dropped her off back at her house she just told us it was worth every second even if she was missing out on studying. Im really excited about them. If i could find another couple that would be sealed here in a year would make me a happy happy man.
Love you momma! cant wait to talk to you!
