Hey everybody! Thanks for all the emails this week! I think
Brandon's had some Portuguese in it because I didn't understand it.
Ummm so this week nothing really new has gone down. We found
some new people to teach which is good. We're working hard and stuff which is
always important.
Sounds like everybody is doing really good up there in
the northern hemisphere... Down here it's still cold. Oh hey thought. Last week
I tried to see if my personal card had any money on it but it got denied and
spit out. I don't know if they have locked it up or what But I don't really
think so because it denied my comp's card too but he went to a different box
and it worked. But I tried it because everybody in my zone is out of mission
money (including me) So we're short on food and all that good stuff... Pfft. So
yeah it is what it is, today for lunch we bought bread and spread some kind of
cheese cream on it. It's not cream cheese though. Because that doesn't exist
here. Haha.
So, Yes dad you got Pierson's name right (But I feel weird
saying his first name. Haha.) and Pierson, My dad wanted you to know he was
serious about you going to see my family some time. And, to answer all the
question's at once, Yes Gracie I know where Trevor is serving he's in
Concepcion, Chile. Ironic right. I'm pretty sure he recieve's these letters too
but he's never sent me anything to verify that. He might say it in the letter
that he said he was working on like a month and a half ago that I haven't
gotten haha.... I think that was everything that I was supposed to reply too..
If I've missed any questions just let me know. I'll do what I can.
Thanks for the advice from Dad and Brandon. I'm trying to be
good at everything I can. There are just some things that make me a little
miffed.... Like how I lost my camera in a car last week (I believe) So
everybody should pray to help me find it. Because I just need to talk to all
the colectivo (taxi-ish) guys and see if they've found it and it'll come back
to me. But it still is buggin me. Also, I have talked to my companion about
stuff we had like 3 comp inventories last week, one because he thought we
needed and 2 because he read the steps in how it should be done then 3 because
it was weekly planning day when it was supposed to be done. Baha. I told him
it's a good thing I have more patience than Britt because she may kill him if
they ever eat in the same room.... Just saying. Britt i'm sure knows why. But.
We're all good and working well together.
Oh yeah about Diego. At this point we just need to throw him
in the font because he knows everything and we've just been making stuff up
when we visit him but on the 25th he hung out with his friends and drank some
so we're still working on him and he's still changing because he said he
thought about drinking and like thought about not doing it, in his words
(translated obviously :P) "I doubted doing it which I have never done
before" So it was good and he's still moving forward. We are actually
going to baptize another investigator this week who is 12 so we haven't had
many issues with him, except figuring out how to make him understand the
lessons. Pfft. He is ADHD so yeah. It took a bit. But we got him there and I
guess he had some dream that included him in the chapel but I wasn't really
explained the dream so I couldn't tell it to you but he had it and then
afterwards knew the church was true. So it was cool. Now we're gonna work more
on his dad Victor.
We have another investigating family who we have seen
changes in which are good. There are four of them, Gma and Gpa are named Eloisa
and Arnoldo, the mom = Claudia and her daughter is Darlyng. Pronounced darling.
Eloisa and Darlyng have been the most accepting but we have gone over to their
house randomly to find Claudia reading the stuff we leave behind and we FINALLY
got Arnoldo to come to church but from what we understand of his speach (baha)
he is commited to continue coming. Eloisa we want to baptize first and Arnoldo
has never seemed to be interested in being baptized so after that we'll work on
Claudia so that she can support Darlyng. Because Darlyng will get baptized as
soon as she has all the lessons she accepted right away.
Ummmmmmmm what else. today for Pday we have just played Ping
pong in our chapel with the other missionaries that work in our ward. It's been
pretty awesome. That's what happens when we don't have money. Oh and I'm
writing more letters home for people but I won't be able to send them... Again.
No money. so yeah. People just have to be patient for their letters :P
I think that is all though. Love you all. Talk at'cha next
week. Oh. We put up a christmas tree haha.
