Week 15

Dear Family,

Well nothing too interesting happened this week... so sorry it's probably going to be a really boring letter ha. Oh and random question, mom or dad, do you know if I have more floss? Cause I have used one and found another, but if not, I can buy :)

Congratulations Chad!! Wow! Ah that is so exciting, and actually I think that is the same mission Wilson is in. (Mexico, Mexico City South, June 25 Provo MTC).  So if so, I can tell him and forward his family letters to you guys for Chad, that willl be fun if it is!

I have been studying some of the Liahonas and I absolutely love them! I took advantage of all the church magazines when I was at home, when I wanted to or had time then I would maybe read an article, but they have helped me so much and are always exactly what I need to hear and read. And I have things I want to share, but I will probably send them a different time, one because I forgot the Liahonas at home, ha and two because I want them to be personal!

Well our recent convert Mateo, receive the priesthood on Sunday! And he has been helping us so much! He actually live in the refugio right now, so he meets a lot of people, right now we are teaching 4 other people from there.  All of them are so great and prepared.

This week we had a challenge put by our district/zone leaders to get 8 new investigators.  Well we really wanted to get this, and so we committed to do everything we could to achieve it.  We talked to everyone, tried to be exactly obedient, follow all the mission rules, listen to the Spirit.  And let tell EVERYONE.  When you do everything you can and promise to the Lord, he will help you and he will bless you for your work when you keep your side of the promise. This week we found 8 new investigators.  Tender mercies of the Lord, this truly is HIS work.  We found our 8th investigator at 7:30 last night and we have to be in our house by 8 on Sundays.  It was awesome! No matter our challenge or problem, the Lord will help us, but your trust in him and work! And also, he will never give us anything we can't handle (1 Cor 10:13 ? I think?)....

Oh and to answer some of your questions... The weather here in Uruguay is actually very strange, the people say it has never rained this much ever, but we have had a break for a couple days now which is nice! I'm pretty sure we only get to go to the temple once a year, so yeah! We walk everywhere right now, because we actually don't know our whole area, which is huge and we have to take buses to places.  They have the same fruit here or at least the fruit I eat hahahaha... My Spanish, is coming along! My new companion corrects every mistake I make which is really nice, and I'm saying things I didn't even know how to say or think I could! It's coming a long!

Thank you for your letters and prayers and for everything you all do.  I love you so much and pray for you! Remember to still enjoy the time, even though I'm not there to make your live hectic. ;) 

Love,

Hermana Louder
