Buenas
Dias Familia
Well Family as you know
this week was 18 de Septiembre in Chile which means that everyone was eating
meat and more meat and lots of people were out of town. So as far as
contacting went it was a slow week, but we did have the most lessons with
members we have ever had..so that was def a blessing. Hermana Gonzalez had too
much meat on Thursday and so as we were laying in bed about an hour after we
had turned out the lights she woke me up and said her stomach hurt and she had
desires to throw up so I was like go to the bathroom so she went. I kept
thinking that she would just throw up a little and be fine...but as I heard
more and more I made the conclusion that I should probably get up and help
her....she of course was fine after the throwing up..but yea it was a fun
night...we concluded that it was because of all the meat.
We had the celebration
of 18 with the branch on Friday, where we had lunch and watched some dancing. One of our investigators was going to dance
but that day his sister called him and they had a family get together so we
missed that. But it was fun to spend some time with the branch. I made the no
bake cookies the night before and took them to the party and they were a huge
hit they always are everyone says I have to teach them how to make them.
E is doing great, I gave
him one the CTR rings that mom sent me and some little post-its to mark his
scriptures..he was super excited and loved the CTR or I should say HLJ ring. We
are planning the baptism for Sunday, we are still working on the trust of his
mom, and we have transfers this week..which we find out tomorrow...ah nervous!
But yea whatever happens E is super prepared and even if he can´t be baptized
this Sunday I know he has a testimony and will be able to be baptized some
day!
We taught an
investigator the importance of prayer and our relation with God and his wife who
is less active helped him give the closing prayer...it was so great!
Oh so I forgot to tell
you guys that like 3 weeks ago or so the water from the tap went bad and we
couldn´t drink from it because it had crossed lines with the sewer water...tons
of people were sick from the water..but it seems to be okay now but that was an
exciting time.
Mom thanks for your
thoughts on marriage, yes we had given her the proclamation and she and her
partner had read it together..we weren´t able to see them this week, but I hope
we can help them with their faith in Christ. I am learning so much in how to
teach less with no we can´t do that or do this or but more with things we can
do...it´s definitely a hard thing to learn.
That´s too bad that BYU
lost...sounds like a fun long nighter...ah and I can´t believe Faith is 18 what
is happening to the world...no but wow her birthday celebration sounds
great...tell her happy birthday for me via fb or something.
Dad the meeting with the
area sounds amazing! I loved the scriptures and the discussion ideas. I am definitely
going to have to study those scriptures,but it is so true that this work grows
more when we work with the members and we all work together.
Yesterday in church we
had three great talks one on missionary work and the others on the law of
chastity and Elder Watmala...I don't know how to write his name but he is a counselor
to Pres Kahnlien.
Well that's my week for
you all. Thanks for your prayers and support. I know this Church is true and
that we have a Savior who is the way and light for all of us! K love you
lots!!!
Thanks for everything.
Les amo mucho!!
Hermana Morgan Anderson
