Irvin’s going on a mission
How do I know that? The ingrato didn’t tell me of course, but Sister Alcerro who was in Sensunapan told me. I was really worried about Irvin and Edward (a couple of my converts in Sensunapan) and I asked her about them because she had been there for a long time. Irvin always said he wanted to serve a mission when the time came, but I didn’t know if he’d ever done anything to go since I left Sensunapan… I guess he was inactive for a time, but then Sis Alcerro and her comp came and visited once and he came back to church. 🙂 I guess he’ll be going on his mission soon, but I don’t know when or where or anything… Continue reading “Irvin’s going on a mission”
crazy successful week
So, I tried really hard to write a good email last week. I brought my journal with me and it helped me to remember better what had happened during the week, and I brought it again today but I left it in the car. Turns out my journal doesn’t help me at all when it’s in the car. So, I guess you’ll just get the random bits I can remember. Continue reading “crazy successful week”
dying in belmopan
Well, I’ve finally learned the lesson NOT to read my emails before I write my email–why? Because then I get distracted by something…
the secret to being skinny
Hey Fam Bam
I got a letter from Hna Falcon the other day. She told me that Dad had contacted her about the trip and she wants me to reassure you that it wouldn’t be a problem for us to stay at their house. She also talked about tacos al pastor, and sprinting to the finish.
We’ve definitely seen an upturn this week. Continue reading “the secret to being skinny”
STRESS
Well, everything is going really well all of a sudden–which also stresses me out… I’m really happy for Olga and her children though. They love the church, they’re reading, they’re super powerful and Olga said the other day that it is her “desire” to be baptized–the only challenge left with her is getting her companion (less active member) to commit to marriage. But I am sure he will, he loves her and everything, I think he’s probably just a little scared to get married because, let’s face it, men are cowards about getting married (well.. mostly outside of our church I think…) Continue reading “STRESS”
stuck in the same old ideas
What’s the funniest thing that has happened lately?
Well last night our investigator Augustin (he’s the one who miraculously showed up to church last week) asked me and my ‘amiga’ out to dinner. It was pretty funny but I’m actually pretty stressed out about it. Augustin has meet with us about three times this week, and he’s always willing to go to whatever we invite him to. He doesn’t know how to read but he just started listening to the Book of Mormon on CD yesterday, and he loves it, or so we hope…. Hopefully it’s not that he just loves 20 something American girls.

pure laziness
I’m trying not to fall into the trap of reading my emails before I write my letter this week… Well, it’s been hard lately because I’ve kind of felt like my area is dying, and technically I think it must be my fault because I’ve been here FOREVER so it’s my responsibility to work the area the right way… and we haven’t had any investigators in church for two weeks, and everyone we’ve been teaching… keeps dropping us.

Dying Dying Dying
Well, I don’t know what to say about this week. I have a ton of pictures I need to load but some how I ended up here without my camera and cord. Seriously, I’ve had the bag with my camera and stuff out for like 2 days already, because I’ve been planning on taking care of picture stuff.
Merry Christmas II
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Well, a whole stinking lot has happened but I probably won’t tell you about most of it until tomorrow. Mostly Hna Watkins was transferred to the escondido branch and Hna Cottrell came to be my companion. We had to switch houses, because she’s pretty much allergic to everything, and couldn’t live with all the animals at the Pratt’s house. Hna Watkins and I took a bunch of silly photos/ did a bunch of silly things right before she left. I think the past three transfers where I was with Hna Noble and then Hna Watkins are probably the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. Transfers was a little hard on me, just because I hate moving and change is always hard. I’m excited for Christmas and I think I’m going to buy a pair of jeans today 😮 Continue reading “Merry Christmas II”
