Week 18

Dear Family,

How is everyone doing?!!?! Transfers are this week and Hermana Ahern and I will be staying here in Pando! We are both super excited to be staying together and here! I love it! We have so many great investigators and actually four with fechas, hopefully they can all make their goals and dates!

Oh and today I made pancakes with the mix, and they were perfect :) And thank you Andrea for the letter!!!

Ok well not too much has been happening...... so I'll tell you about our investigators!

Oh and first we had a stake activity done by the missionaries this past saturday and it actually turned out ok! We made a slide show and showed where we were from and about our country and family and then we all made food and turned out really good!

L: She didn't come to church today because she wasn't home but she is quiting smoking little by little, right now she is only smoking two a day. Her fecha is for the 22 and she really wants this we are just helping her to go to bed earlier.

A: He may have found a house for him and his family!!! Now we just need to get him married :)... but we are working with him and he finally came to church!! And his date is for the 22!

N: He came an talked to us yesterday.... and he had a great experience and knows this is what he needs and wants to come and have the charlas, and he told us that he has a daughter that is three years old and a girl friend and they and his mom want to listen to us! He has a date for the 22 second as well, and hopefully he can stick to it this time! We think he finally shared all this information with us and was still reading the BOM and praying even though we weren't having charlas because we showed him we are here for him and aren't going to give up.

A: He and W. are both references from Mateo and they all live in the refugio. He is 19 and wants to learn more about the gospel and he came to church this past sunday and has a date for the 22.

W: Is very interested and knows a lot about the bible so we will be using that... and he wants to read the BOM and actually already has one in his moms house! He also came to church this past sunday and we will keep working with him.

The mission is great! And hard, but no one ever said it would be esay.  It was never easy for Christ.  I'm working hard and trying to set new goals to use more spanish every day. and to stay healthy hahaha.... But I'm doing great and so is Pando and everything! I hope all is well for you guys and I'm praying for you. I love you all so much! Thank you for everything! Have a great week!

Love,

Hermana Louder
