Dear
Family, 6-18-12
Well it’s been a good week, we had transfers and it was a good transfer.
We did have 3 baptisms this week and a sister that’s preparing to be baptized,
maybe with her son. So she is super ready and really awesome, she actually
contacted us, he name is Adela. I feel like everyone we have visited this week
is super prepared for the Lord and is ready to receive a baptism in their
lives. I have showed my companion all the people we have been teaching and
there are alot that are progressing. :-)
So my new companion is awesome, he speaks English and is way cool. I really
feel like I can be myself around him and we can express how everything is
going. Elder Guerrero from Costa Rica, but as well before his mission he lived
like a year with his uncle in Miami FL. So that’s where he got his English
down. It is fun to talk to him and he´s down to earth. I´m so excited for this
transfer and for the great work we are going to have to do in this area.
Ok
so if you want to know dad what its been like with our "pensionista"
its like this, we eat every meal with them and they have that wonderful
restaurant. But what been happening is we live in a part of their house and the
president in the last zone leader conference talked to us about how we needed
to switch to a better room because he´s seen our room and there isn´t the much
privacy and so we went to them at the beginning of the month and told them the
president asked up to switch and from that point on we really started looking
and making the changes but the mom of the family took it all the wrong way and
didn´t want to talk to us, we were very polite but she didn´t want to hear more
because the missionaries have been there for a super long time and things like
that. But now we talked to here this week and she now doesn´t want to know
anything about the church. She has decided to abandon the church and she said
because of the member of the ward but then we talked about reading the Book of Mormon
and she said absolutely not going to read. It’s so sad because they were super
active for years. Its sad to see how someone who has years never gained a true
testimony. I´m sad for this family and wish they would come back but they have
decided no. :-( at least we are still trying to rescue their son thats 20 years
old and get him to come back, he is like a best friend to me too, so I can´t
let him loose his eternal life like that! so that’s been a huge problem we have
been having but besides that everything is going GREAT!!! I´m really going to
love these next transfers.
Well to answer your question mom, I only have 5 months left and so just Candy
from the states would be awesome in the package!! And with you guys coming out,
I was thinking the same thing, just come out the same day of transfer, Tuesday
the 27th. that would be awesome!
Love you
all and my letter next week will be spiritual!!
