Hola Familia!
So it has been a good/busy holiday season for my comp and I
but I really enjoyed it. I still don't really feel like its all real since its
really hot here and stuff but I just have to keep looking at my watch to
remember the date haha
So this week was really good, we were very blessed and had a
lot of success. Its interesting how when it feels like we don't have any time to
work because of our Zone Leader stuff we are super blessed and able to get a
lot done in the time that we do have.
This week I had a little bit of a tender mercy from Heavenly
Father. We were walking down the street on the 26th and I see a guy riding
towards us on a motorcycle, as he gets closer I realized he looks familiar. I didn't actually realize who it was until he had stopped. It was J.!!! The Colombian guy from my first area. He and his family are doing great and still
active in the church and everything. He told me that he had the Missionaries
over for Christmas and that they made Colombian food together. It was so cool
to see him, when I saw him i was so excited I just gave him a big hug right in
the middle of the street haha.
So we have been working a lot with the M. family. They
have a 9 year old daughter named V. who has not been baptized. We are
working with them to get them back active and get her baptized. The is the
cutest little girl, we went over to their house this week and it was really
hot, they had just put a few drinks in the fridge but they were not cold yet.
Then before anyone knew where she had gone, she comes walking in with a big
bottle of sprite that she had gone and bought with her own money for us. It was
the nicest thing ever. I am so lucky to be able to help this family.
This last week was...... HOT. You really have no idea how
much I sweat in the humidity! If we spend a long time outside i am just
soaked... its weird because I didn't sweat much at home, but i think its because I'm not used to it yet. I heard it got up to 90% humidity one day! I will never
live in a humid place hah
On Friday we were able to go sing in this concert that a
girl in our stake did, she is an opera singer and she invited a lot of non
members so she wanted the missionaries to sing and kinda have a little
exposure. It went really well, I'm still terrible at singing but my shyness to
sing is slowly going away on the mission...
So I found out this week that not too long ago one of the 12
apostles came to Rosario and chose a place where the future temple will be. I
was so excited to hear that because it shows the growth of the church in this
part of the world! The location is actually in my zone right now, but i don't
know exactly where it is.
This week we have been preparing an apartment for 2 hermanas
who just barely got to our zone. We have had to buy everything for them and we
are almost done. It will be nice to finally get all of that out of the way. and
have more time to work.
We had another miracle this week, We found a lady named R.
and we were able to give her a blessing on Saturday. We invited her and her
friend to church and then we show up on Sunday and R. is there, but with a
different lady that we had never seen before! haha Her name is M. and she
is from Peru. We already taught M., R., and M's son A. 2 times
and they accepted a baptism date for the 24th of Jan!!! I am super confident
that R. and M. will be ready but we are still trying to gain some trust
with A. We gave M. a blessing too because her husband left her
about a year ago and it is still really hard for them. She was crying at the
end and told me that she felt something pushing inside of her chest. Super cool
experience!
We are still doing great here!! I hope you all are too!!
Love you all!!
