Hey momma, things are pretty great here in the land of
Chile!!:) I'm glad to hear that your week has gone pretty well!馃槃 As for my thumb...
haha well yes it has been getting better, then today in volleyball I tweaked it
really weird and I had some very nasty pain for a bit, but now yes it feels a
ton better!! As for Mar矛a she is doing very well. We visited her a couple of
times this last week but unfortunately she couldn’t come to the FHE with us
because she is sick with pneumonia and so she has 8 days in bed... but she still
loves hearing from us!:) Also in the FHE with Pres. Isom and a couple other
members, we had Hermana Brenda. She is a new investigator for us now!!:) She has
a son that has 7 years!:) Also we found this last week Alfredo (not the pasta,
the person馃槈).
He is from Haiti and is super dope. He doesn't speak the best Spanish but he
understands really well! We taught him about the Book of Mormon this last week and he came
to church with us!!:) It was so cool! He is a great guy! Oh also another good
note, idk if I told you about Alex (a contact that talked to us!) but he
finally called us this last week and we have a cita set up for this week. So
I'll let you know how that goes with him! ALSO I don’t know if you heard but
JAIME FROM QUELLON GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!! Also another family that I found got baptized
in Quell贸n as well!!:) It was so bomb, I’m so happy!!:)
That’s sweet that you saw Hermana Farnsworth. You gotta tell
her hi from me. I haven’t had the chance or the email to talk with them since
they have been back home. Yeah definitely we are coming back to visit!:) Also
that sounds like you had a great week there in the derby and oh man can we
please go to all of the fair this next year??:) I love the fair but that’s so
cool you could go and be with all of the family!!:)
Whoa I love that thought momma thank you for sharing. Those
sounded like some great talks!:) Also that is a great quote and principle. Are
you self-sufficient in your spirituality? That is a very important principle --
to have our own testimony and have the strength to overcome our trials!!:) (This is the quote I shared with him from
Heber C. Kimball: "The time will come when no man or woman will be able to
endure on borrowed light. Each will have to be guided by the light within
himself. If you do not have it, how can you stand?")
"The task AHEAD of you is never as great as the power
BEHIND you." This kinda goes along with your thought but mine is just
remember who you have behind you on your side when you come up against a great
challenge or problem. The Lord is always with us. We just have to let him bless
and help us and confide in him!:)
Love you momma thank you for your email and hope your week
goes even greater!!:) Love you to infinity and beyond!!:) (sorry no photos we
are at the lame cyber...)
