Holar familia!
Primero:
Nigil: FELICIDADES! Bienvenido a la idioma más bonita en
todo el mundo y el trabajo más hermoso que uno puede hacer! El Señor va a
bendecirle por sus esfuerzos y yo sé que su misión va a cambiar su vida (por lo
mejor) como ningún otra cosa puede. Haga todo posible para ser completamente
digno. Éste es la preparación más importante; no importa si puede hablar la
idioma, y va a aprender las enseñanzas que necesita, pero su virtu y dignidad
son tesoros invaluables tambas en la vida como en la mision. Su espíritu va a
convertir la gente, no sus palabras ni su conocimiento. Sea valiente y sea
fiel. I´M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! :) Google translate that sucker if you don´t
understand it yet. ;)
I LOVED those puns. hahaha. There were some really great
ones in there. I wish I could use them on the people here... at least I can use
them on my comp. haha.
I hadn´t really thought about the 3 days of darkness bit,
but you´re right... I can see now why that was so terrifying.
That´s so cool about Nigil. I´m sad that Margaret isn´t
doing as great as she´d like, but if anyone´s got the spunk to face with a
smile and a laugh, it´s her. :) That´s cool about the temple, and I love that
scripture. Ironically enough, I was thinking about it this morning as we were
walking an infinitely long distance.
I love love love the Lorenzo Snow manual. It´s a little
weird to read it in Spanish, but it´s still so good. I can see why he´s your
unofficial favorite prophet. :) Hopefully the excitement for the church will be
contagious in Olanchito. The really cool thing about missionary work is that it
does tend to work like that. As soon as one person hears the truth, they want
you to tell all their friends (even if they themselves don´t want to hear it).
haha.
Oh! Eileen! I was thinking a lot about you and your mission
this week, and I want to thank you for being that example to me. I know I
didn´t really see you go through the mission or anything (at least not in the
flesh... get it? I was just a spirit hahaha), but I´ve always really looked up
to you a lot, and hearing about your mission and knowing you served definitely
helped me decide to serve (and more importantly, when times are rough, it keeps
me going here in the field). You planted that seed of possibility in me, that
girls can serve missions and that they can serve in rough places. They can
handle nasty bugs and non-ideal living situations. They can handle not speaking
a language and not knowing anyone. They can handle eating just about anything
an elder can handle. And most importantly, they can do it all with so much love
that it just fills you up. So thank you for that. :)
Gotta move on cause I´ve got VERY little time today. But I
love you tons!
Pop a doodle doo!
Holy cow, when did you become wildly busy indiana jones man?
4 wheel trips to look for dinosaurs, high school reunions, barbecues, day
trips... what is this?! hahahahaha That´s sweet that you made it back from Cali
so fast and that you got to go to Ryan and Cailee´s reception (so they decided
to get married after all, eh? congrats to them! That´s so great!) I have
to finish here, even though I´d like to write so much more, but we have to
leave like... now. I´m in Tocoa today. We played futbol como zona and we ended
a little late. a lot late. Anyway, love you tons!
That´s awesome about nigil. Also about the summer reading
program. Holy cow you busy lady you. As far as shoes, I can get them here. No
worries. I really liked that quote. It´s something I love thinking about, the
branch between science and religion. It´s pretty much awesome. That´s sweet
about summer and trucula trees and all that. Halee Chynoweth, wow that brings
back memories. Gotta go, but I lovesies you!
Fast things. We found some awesome people this week. We had
some awesome experiences this week. The coolest was yesterday when God sent us
a miracle. We randomly decided to turn around and walk down a different street
to a different appointment. We were super discouraged when suddenly we saw a
man riding toward us on a bicycle. It turned out to be the branch president
here, who randomly gave us the perfect pep talk to keep us going. Our God is a
God of love, miracles, and tender mercies. Don´t forget to find the
sunshine.
Love you all tons. I wish I could write more, but I have to
go. Like, now. haha. Adios! I love yous.
