Week 17

Dear Family,

How are things going at home? Work and school? I hope everything is going great!

I got the package on wednesday and used everything the next day :) Thank you so  much!!!! I love it!!! And Thank you Grandma Burr for the card and note and stamps! Really, haha it made me laugh and cry, Love you grandma!

Uruguay is great! It is getting a little chilly in the mornings and night, just means more layers! And actually ahaha the past four nights all four of us hermanas have slept together in the front ha! It's pretty great! We still go to bed at 10:30, no worries :)

This week we had a conference with President Etchegaray, and his wife and the assistants, and it was great! Just acouple of the zones went and we were taught and about by the assistants goals, and teaching from the heart and commitments, and by Hermana Etchegaray marriage...... finding our Isaac..... and then President talked gave us some examples of teaching and of course, he called on me. Ha but it was fine. Ah you always ask and I always forget... My Spanish is coming along, little by little.  Everyone says it is good and I understand a lot more and can talk more than they could, but I feel so behind and I'm always trying to make it better, I still have so much to learn!

This week we have definitely seen the Lords hand in the work.  We have been having problems finding new investigators, and now last week (16 news) and this week (10) it has been amazing,  Yesterday we had a challenge from our district leader to find 4 and we had been talking with everyone everyday this week, but for some reason, Sunday was different, we still talked to everyone but everyone was interested and wanted to know more and we found 5 new investigators,I'm so excited to get to know them!

Nicolas:  Well he knows what he needs to do but doesn't want to so we will see what happens...

Aldo: We are working on getting a date for his marriage and a house, and he is so ready to submit to the fathers will and live every commandment, the only problem we have with him is the coming to church part.  He loves his family so much and so he feels he needs to work on sundays to have enough for them, but we had a really good lesson with him and are trying to help him understand the importance of keeping the Sabbath day Holy.  Oh and it was so funny, we taught him tithing, and he was like, ok so when can I pay?! And hermana was like, well you don't actually need to pay until you are baptized!

Leticia: Ah I love this story! Ok so we were at a house and we asked for refrences and she said the house in front, her name is Tati.  So we wrote it down and when home.  Well the next morning we had a blank text from and investigator named Leticia.  I started to think and I remembered when I was with Hermana Rodriguez we had visited an invetsigator but she wasn't home for the summer.  I told hermana that I thought Leticia and Tati were the same person and needed to visit her.  Well later that day we went to go contact and it was her! She is awesome! And wants to get baptized! She has a problem with smoking but we are helping her and so is the Lord.  And she had an accident 17 years ago or something like that and she has a hard time walking and she has a problem with the left side of her body, but she is amazing!

I love you all so much! Thank you for the emails letters and packages! and especially for your support and prayers! I'm praying for you, and hope everything is great! Love you! :)

Love,
Hermana Louder
