Week 19

Dear Family,

Well this week has been interesting to say the least.

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!!!!! I love you!! And dad, you and mom definitely need to get working on family history now! Ah I always love the sunsets, and one time if I have my camera I will send you one from here too. The bugs are still here, but I think it's just a Uruguay thing. Keep working Natalie!!!

So we had changes on Wednesday and we knew that Hermana Gines would be leaving and that Hermana Cardona would be training, and me and my companion are staying! So we went to lunch that day while Hermana Gines and Hermana Cardona left.  And during our lunch we get a call, well we wait and when we finish we call back.  We are talking Hermana Cardona and our district and zone leaders and it turns out that nobody knew but, they are putting 6 Hermanas in Pando! So we run back to the house to clean up and make room, and we don't have anything for another companionship.  So we are calling everyone about beds and desks and such.  As of right now the study in the kitchen and at leasts they have desks, but now we are all waiting for the bunk beds to come in and the other room will two bunk beds ( right now they are sleeping on the floor, luckly they have mattresses).  But it has been crazy, and we literally have a house full! 

We have the chance to meet President Cook this Wednesday, our zone will be having interviews with him!

Also this week... haha well I think I had a bad reaction to a bug bite.  I woke up on Saturday with a huge finger and my wrist and near my elbow were all huge and really hot and hurt.  Well my companion called our nurse and she told us to go to the hospital... So we went and they took my blood to see if I had an infection, but we were there from about 10:30 in the morning until 5:30 at night... waiting for blood results.  But my blood is clean and they gave me something to help with the inflimation, but everything is good, just a bad reaction!

SUNDAY!: W. and A. came to church! Sadly Al. went to work, we don't know where N, and L. didn't want to get up and go, even though every day she tells us she will be coming and is exciting, so we might have to drop her.  So we forsure will be having at least one baptism this week.

A: We need to have a lesson with him, but he has come to church two times and we will be teaching him the word of wisdom and the law of chastity...

W: He is awesome! He came to church now two times and he asked US if he could be baptized on the 22nd.  At first I was a little nervous cause he had a lot of doubts, but he is the best.  He is 34 and has lots of questions, but on Sunday he came to church, we had a lesson, and he watched the Joseph Smith movie and loved it, and said he felt so good the whole day! And he is quitting smoking and really willing to live everything.

Lately I have been studying in Alma and I found this amazing verse that I love in Alma 7:4,6 about faith, and how we need to have the experience first and then it will come! And I also read the 4th missionary and I am so stuck on it.  I want to give everything to the Lord, and to do that I need to give up all my desires and wishes to him for the next 18 months.  I want to be the missionary he wants me to be.  If anyone has any ideas let me know :)

I love you all, and I did get the stamps in the package and congrats Brittany on your mission call! Prepare now! You will love it! I love you all!

Love,
Hermana Louder
