LOOOVE YOU

Today I am really cranky, because someone made a comment on my Spanish and it hurt my feelings. So, this is probably going to be short. There were some miracles this week. My favorite one is that Luis bore his testimony in Sacrament meeting yesterday. He’s getting baptized this Saturday and I’m pretty stoked. I haven’t had very many baptisms on my mission, but I feel like the people I have been able to help teach have really great testimonies, and it’s a huge blessing. I worry about Ana I still don’t really know what happened to her. Last I heard she was in Venezuela, but I don’t even know why she ended up being deported. 🙁 I wish I had more time to figure it out.

Reloco

Things have been slowing down–and that is BAD.  We need to keep up.  Sister Duarte was telling me about how in her ward one time there were 40 baptisms in one month.  Because there were ward missionaries helping with the teaching and the entire ward was involved.  Wow.  40.  Sister Duarte said on the day of all the baptisms, one of the sisters fainted when the 25th person was baptized.  Yeah.  I would faint too.  I would probably faint several times before the baptisms too.  But it just goes to show miracles are possible, and really… every member is a missionary.  If everyone would get involved the second coming would probably come a lot, a lot faster… Continue reading “Reloco”

Catholicism

Well, I started out last week with a cold/cough again, but we had set those really high goals I talked about last week. So, we just worked anyways, and we worked, and we worked. Even after Hna Schwartz twisted her ankle on Saturday. We kept walking around anyways, because we were more or less out of potentials, and we just wanted to find a couple more people.

Belmopan–week 6!?

Hello dearly beloved seres queridos,

To answer Dad’s questions about my comp, she is from Honduras (like Hna Estrada, but she comes from a part of Honduras that is actually A LOT like the United States) I believe she now has 14 months in the mission (two transfers more than me) so she only has about 3 or 4 transfers left.  I always work with old missionaries.  It’s kind of weird because usually the sisters get to be senior comp after 6 or 8 months or something, but I’ve gotten to work with a lot of sisters who have a lot of experience.  It’s kind of nice because they all already know more than me…  She loves to joke around and bug me.  She wants to be a professional forensic doctor and solve crimes like that.  She has quickly converted to Sweet and Sour Chicken since she’s been with me, and she can almost say it in English now.

Well, we’ve reached the time… to write.

Dear Family,

 

I and Hna Duarte… are having emotional breakdowns left and right out here.  Well, not so much anymore, but really… one of us was crying like every few days in the last four weeks, but we’ve finally settled down a little and there hasn’t been any crying or angriness for a while.  I think it’s just because we are both so stressed.   Continue reading “Well, we’ve reached the time… to write.”

Sunshine in my sole today…

Sorry again about last weeks email. Not sure what happened.  This week has been pretty good. Lots of little struggles still. We’ve been sent out full field so, we decided to try and get to know all the apartment complexes and streets in the area a little better. So, we walked from one end of our area to the other during the least productive part of the day 12-3 oh wait, also the hottest part of the day. Also because we were going to be walking a lot I decided to wear my ugly sister missionary shoes. Bad idea. I ended up with roughly 10-12 blisters. I am NEVER going to wear those shoes again. Continue reading “Sunshine in my sole today…”

Carne Asada

Hey Family,
So, MIRACLE Luis has a baptismal date. Forever our ward mission leader has been wanting to challenge Luis, and we really haven’t had much of a chance this past transfer. We had only had 2 lessons with him. One about the word of wisdom, and the other was on the doctrine of Christ. In the one on the doctrine of Christ he said he had been thinking about getting baptized but that he still needed more time. Continue reading “Carne Asada”
