:) (Week 50)

Dear Family,

Thank you so much for the wonderful emails, I really liked them, just what I needed.  I'm glad you were all able to enjoy a fun fall break and thank you for the pictures! :)

Well training has been good, though I definitely fall short of everything.  But as President Eyring said:“The Lord knows you. He knows whom He would have serve in every position in His Church. Hechose you.^¨   And President Monson: “When we are on the Lord’s errand, we are entitled to the Lord’shelp. Remember that whom the Lord calls, the Lord qualifies.”

I am learning so much from her, she is great! I know that we are supposed to be companions and that we will and are growing so much.

Well the other day we were walking and talking to everyone but we had to get to a charla and we saw a mother and son walking, and decided to quickly invite them to church and to a sport activity that we had on Saturday, and they told us their names and it ended up being a reference we had had from a recent convert and he told us (the son-S) that he would come! So Saturday we go and he was right on time and we played volleyball and soccer.  And then we invited him to church.  So the next day is Sunday and we go to church and then we had to go look for investigators and we come back for relief society and then we go out to look again and we get back and now it's about thirty minutes before sacrament meeting, and we don't have any investigators and no one has come.  The other hermanas walk in and we start talking and how neither of us had investigators and then they are like, Silver is here, he has been here since nine.  WHATP?! are you serious! It was a miracle! He came all by himself and stayed the whole time! But right after sacrament meeting he left so fast! So now we don't know where he lives... but we are going to find him and we now mas o menos donde vive. But it was sooo amazing.

Entonces we don't really have any investigators because everyone that said they would come didn't, but we are going to keep working harder and harder each week.

Random notes for you: The bugs have come, and I got bitten alive but now I have started using the stuff you sent me, thank you! The dogs hate us hehehe! There are four of us living in the house, Hermana Tejada, Hermana Smouse, Hermana Townley, and I, and there are all so great! The book for training is called 12 weeks (I'm pretty sure by the church), and basically you use that PME and the district videos and lots of practices of course! And then you put it all in action during the week. I am playing the piano in church and it has been well...... interesting. We go to the church every morning to work out there and we are definitely improving our workouts. We have a multizone conference this week.

Bueno, that's about everything I can think about, but everything is going great.  Really it seems like when you are up in the clouds, then everything comes down, and really tests you.  And it has been good.  I am really learning how to rely on the Lord and give everything, though I'm not perfect and no where near, I know that my Savior and his grace are sufficent and that he is always here to help us, we just need to call on him. Always remember him.

I love you all so much!! I hope school and work are going great and that the marriages can wait a couple months..... cough cough. hahaha... but I love you all and have a wonderful week!!!

Love,

Hermana Louder
