Thanks for the letter and limerick. haha. The last letter I
got from Tyler, he told me to ¨baptize the Hell outta them...¨ that´s exactly
what I intend to do hahahahahahaha.
Tell Jordan that I got one letter, and I responded to it. If
he doesn´t get it soon, it probably got stolen by Hondurans. haha I made it
look all Catholic so it could make it out of the country, but that´s not always
a guarantee. A lot of the time, they just take the money we pay to send
something then never send the letter. It´s pretty corrupt. haha. As hard as it
is for things to arrive here, it´s even harder for things to leave here. (In
case y´all are wondering, that´s why I haven´t sent any birthday or other
packages... every missionary I´ve talked to has said it´s a waste of time and
money).
Tell Mary y co that I´ll be praying for them. I´m just
grateful for modern medicine and technology and all that. Sometimes God blesses
us just by having us live in the times and circumstances in which we
live.
Everything sounds like it´s going good and that things are
unfolding as God intends them to. How are things going with yáll, though? Is
everything good on the home front? How are G and G Bayles? Tell them I love
them and thanks for everything. Love you lots, Mumsie.
It´s true what
you say about keeping the right perspective in things. The mission is a
definite time of discovery. Every strength you´ve ever had will be tested and
tried, and every weakness you´ve ever had will be accentuated until you finally
start getting rid of it. haha. I never really believed people when they said
it{s the hardest thing you´ll ever do, but I´m starting to see where they were
coming from. hahahaha.
The quilt bit sound cute, and your insights are
profound.
I´ll definitely leave a footprint or 25,000. ;)
Take a pic of your rose trees for me. Thanks for the
pics.
As far as reactivation goes, it makes me glad that I learned
to Visit Teach back in the pre-mish days, cause that´s pretty much my
assignment right now. :)
I´ll be praying for Mary and her family.
50th year HS anniversary, wow that´s great. :) I think my 5
year anniversary is happening while I´m gone, but I don´t really know
haha.
Thanks for the quotes. I always love reading little clips
from conference. Conferences are so inspired and beautiful. :) I especially liked
the president Uchtdorf one. :)
Okey dokey family. What´s happening in my life. Pues, this
week has been really crazy. We´ve had some sicklings here in the mission. We
haven´t gotten personal study in a week, because of it. We had to go to a
couple of exams and get a CAT scan for someone. Then you add to that zone
conference and a multizone conference and divisions and you just have no study
time. So sad. The great thing is that I went on divisions this Thursday with
the wonderful Hermana Tanner (she went home from the mission for a while
because of a parasite, but now she´s back). She´s super cool. :) I got to go to
Castaños for the day, which was really awesome. Loved it. We honestly didn´t
have a ton of time in our area this week because of nursing stuff and meetings,
but we had a good week nonetheless.
We finished up all of the lessons with María this week and
today we swung by her place to finalize things for her baptism. She´s all set
to go for this Thursday, if everything goes according to plan. Pray that
everything will go through with her... things always get reallllllllly hard for
people in the days before their baptism.
Other than that, things are going good. There´s a lot of
people in the office right now, so it´s getting really hard to focus, but know
that I love you all oodly doodlies. If you´re not doing what you should, change
it and move on. ;) Be good and have a good week!
Oh, wait: I forgot to tell you the one thing I really wanted
to tell yáll about. Rigo (Rigoberto) has been super excited about the church
and everything. He´s been going to activities and talking to his family about
it. He keeps telling us about how good he feels, about how he forgot how good
it feels to be a latter-day saint. It just makes me so happy to teach him and
talk to him. He was inactive for 20 years, and now he couldn´t be more excited.
We were teaching him the plan of salvation yesterday when he had a really
powerful and beautiful realization: we were explaining that we all lived with
Heavenly Father as spirits before we were born. He talked about the fact that
he knew Christ existed before He was born, but he hadn´t realized that he had
existed before he was born as well. He was so excited to hear about it... he
just filled up with light as he realized that God really knows him, that God
has known him since before he was born.
Ok, I really can´t focus anymore... too many people haha. I
hope you´re all doing great. Love y´all!!! :)
