Week 26

Dear Family,

HAPPY MAY!!! Wow I can't believe it.  I have been out on the mission now for almost 6 MONTHS!! Time flies by, well at times ha :) But I am loving every second of it.  People say it is the hardest time and the best, and really it is.  You really don't know how it is until you've experienced it.  And wow.  I love it all.

Well, I'm finally remembering to tell you stuff! Ok so I love carrying a family picture with me and so I can show you guys off :) and EVERY time I show people our family picture they tell me I have a beautiful family with all blue eyes.  And then they ask if you two really are my parents, because you look so young!! Every time people are like is that really your mom?? She is so beautiful and young! And it's true mom.  I love you! Happy Mother's Day :) 

Mother's Day: I will be calling around 6 or 7... I'll let you guys know at the end of this hour, to see if my companion knows which is better, and should  I use the same skype information from before?

Oh and kinda random but if you have any nice easy brownie recipes or good food, that would be nice, and also a Plan of Salvation pictures or drawings that I could print out and color and use for lessons that would be nice hahaha oh and in Spanish! But if not, we are going to try to make some ha!

Question: What is the difference between a transgression and a sin? (Me and my companion were talking about this and I want to know what you guys think!)

This past week has been very interesting but very good and crazy! It seems like now we have no time and after we finish planning every night we are running everywhere to do things ha I don't know why!

M!!! Well this has been interesting week with her.  So she has a lot of images in her house of Christ and Mary the Virgin so we had two lessons on the 10 commandments and how she should pray to see if she needs to take them down, and we asked our district leader to ask also and he told us he'd get back to us.  So after we had the lesson she didn't really want to commit to do it.  Well we got a call that night and our District leader said she doesn't have to take them down! Cause we know she is not worshipping them and she told us that she has them up cause Mary is the mother of Christ and is very important and they give her company.  But when we went to her house and told her we have good news she told us that she also had news and that we could go first.  So we started with a song and prayer and then told her that everything is ok, and then after this she started crying and told us that she had felt she didn't need to take them down and that if we were to say she needed to she wouldn't come to church today and wouldn't go to ¨our church¨ But she was very happy to hear this.  So we committed her to come to church with us and she told us she needs to do this on her own and would be there at 8:45.  So Sunday comes and we live right infront of the church (which is SUPER nice), we see her, and it its 8:25 so we get everything and run over and she is great! And she loved church she tells us this ¨I love your church.  I love my church.  Cause I'm going to be Mormon¨ :) Ahh it was so great! And she wants to be baptized, we just have to teach her a few more things and she has to come to church and then will have an interview with the mission president, so it'll be awesome! can't wait!

And Ma. is doing really good too! She came to regular church for the first time and loved it, and she is really progressing and loves reading the Book of Mormon and is applying it like crazy to her life which is awesome, and we should each try to do the same!

My companion, Hermana Talbot is from Seattle Washington and is 19, she has 3 months on the mission, and was going to BYU before and majoring in dance.  She is awesome, and her Spansih is amazing, so that is super nice and we are working really well together, I really enjoy it!

Thank you all for the love and support, and love you all loads! Can't wait to talk to you on Sunday :)

Love,
Hermana Louder
