Thank you so much for all the emails :) You are all so wonderful, and I love hearing about everything. How are you all doing now that you are back in school and work?
This week has been crazy so I'll give you all some more information about our area and everything, It is still pretty hot here, but I'm sure not as hot in melo. Though we forgot to use sunscreen one day... ohhhhh our noses and foreheads were nasty so I couldn't take any pictures ha, but now I am using it all the time and put it on every 2-3 hours. We have lunch almost everyday with the members, which is awesome, that will help me to get to know them better and they are great! Our stake is actually the biggest. Church. So they are redoing our church here, so a bus passes two times to take us all to parque de plata about 10 mins or less in bus and it is free! So we have to take the bus at 9 or 9:30 and church starts at 10 and then we take the bus back. There are many people that know how to play piano and our ward is huge! So Ï just get to be with the members and investigators!
Our area is super close to the beach and we are going today! It is like 10 minutes walking, so we always find people in the streets that don't want to talk because they are going, so we have a lot of future inv.! And we have a ruta like a freeway that splits our area in two, and one side is richer and the other side isn't really poor, but it isn't as rich.
All of my things are doing great. I usually wear two pairs of shoes and they have held out my whole mission. That is something so important, even though they were expencive, it was worth it. So many sisters have had to buy new shoes and it is so hard to find a good pair, my companion right now has aldreay bought two and now needs another, so I feel really blessed.
We had an english fast this week! So tried not to speak any english after 6 last monday, and it went really well the first couple days and at the end it was harder ahaha but it was really good, and I feel like it really helped us.
Ah how could I forget!!! Our investigators!
So Anthony came to church again, he is the boyfriend of a member, and they are planning to make a date or whatever to get married and they will be doing that the end of this month, so they will probably be getting married in february or march. But he is awesome! We met with him on wednesday and gave him a BOM and he loved it, we went back on friday with a member, He told us that he had felt different in the lesson with us. He felt so good and knew that it was all true and he had never felt that before, and it was weird because he didn't even know us. And he had read the book of mormon and prayed! And so then we taught the plan of salvation and they want to get married! and then they went to church and we went yesterday night and we taught the gospel of jesus christ and wow. He is so prepared. He is still reading and he told us that he wants to be baptized so that he can go to the temple and recieve his endownments and get sealed!
This past week we found a recent convert that he we hadn't talked to in a while and has kinda strayed, but he is really great and wants to change. He has a girlfriend and is sharing the gosple with her and told us that they little brothers wanted to go to church! Well we kinda forgot about that and come sunday we get on the bus and there they all are! He had gone and gotten all the little brothers and they want to listen to. It was really cute.
And Malcom, from canada, we had a super good lesson with him and he shared with us that he had gone to a baptism here for his cousin and really felt the spirit and was going to think on the baptism invitation, but then sunday his aunt told us that he doesn't want anything to do with the church, so we are going to be visiting him and talking to see what happened.
Thank you for sharing with me your experiences and your adivce, because I am no where near perfect and need all the help I can get. Everyday I realize that I need to rely more on my Savior because it truly is through his grace that we can be saved. I know he loves each and everyone of us and atoned for us. Keep the questions coming! I love you all!!!! Have a great week! :)
Love,
Hermana Louder
