This week at first was a little disappointing, then it got way
better!!!!!!!!!
First of all a lot of stuff went down this week. I will try to
organize it well but here we go.
First I went to Burgos on an exchange where we saw a huge miracle. A
family of 3 was referred. When we got there and asked who was ¨so & so¨ she
said that´s me and I am the one that wants to hear about your church. Huge
miracle! Also we taught a part member family who came to church and now the
nonmember wife wants to be baptized. Now the bad news, when I was there also
our Brazilian family dropped us because their old church gave him a calling and
he felt obligated to do it. That was hard on us.
The day after I got back from Burgos I had to go to Pamplona to do a
baptism interview and we just made it a whole day thing so we could have Elders
in our area working too. She was super prepared and super excited for her
baptism. I love baptisms!!!!
With all this time on the bus I tweeked my back and I was about 50%
for a couple of days. I looked like an old man walking on the street trying to
contact people. I at least hoped for some sympathy, but no go. Dang some people are cold!!
We did some yoga and with lots of drugs I got to the point of
walking and running to our visits again. We visited Osas and he is prepared to
be baptized this Friday. We are so excited for a baptism in the ward. It has
been a while. Dang!!! We need this baptism!!! He is super excited for his
baptism. He came to church and we announced the baptism and everyone got
excited.
Then at church on Sunday a Spanish girl walked in that I didn´t know
and sat next to a member. After I asked who she was the member told me she was
an old investigator who could not be baptized because her parents would not let
her. Her parents went out of town and so she decided to come to church. Last
time she didn´t really do her part, according to her, such as read and pray
about the Book of Mormon. We are excited to see her progress and be baptized.
Also an investigator of the hermanas brought a friend to church and
he wants to learn more. Boom! huge miracle!!!
Mom I love you! I thank you first of all for ¨teaching me correct
principles and letting me govern myself.¨ I see lots of people missing their
moms and I just haven´t felt that as much, (let me explain) and I think it is
because my mom taught me that I didn´t always need to be babied. I was not
always being smothered by you and having you do everything. That is the best
thing you did for me, and if you were to ask me I think I love you more than
all those other missionaries that miss their moms! Its just that mine taught me better. ha Sounds
like a great trip you will have to Michigan. I am glad school started well.
Could you send me a picture of Riley Lewis. How weird that he is home.
Things are looking good. Seeing lots of miracles and are hoping to
see lots of conversion as well. We love you and thank all of you!
We ask that you pray for Osas, Ania and Elisa as they progress
towards baptism. Thank you so much! I love all of you!!!
