I´m so sad to hear about grandpa. At
least we know that he has lived quite the life. I´m praying for all of
you, and most importantly for grandma. Love you all!
I have really seen this week how the gospel of Jesus Crist changes lives, not just now, but for the eternity. This is the
comfort that we receive despite trials. I saw a huge miracle this week.
It had been a rough time. Nothing we seemed to be doing in our area was
working. I feel like I should be at the point of the mission being
better than any moment before, but we just felt stuck and like there was
no progress or results. I then found out that my investigador from
Colón, Sulma, was baptized!! Months ago we contacted her and her family
one Sunday as they were walking down the street....me and hna cruz
taught her, but there were so many roadblocks, as she isn´t married and
didn´t every want to marry her drunk husband. Well I don´t know
everything that took place between when I left and now, but she was just
married and baptized, and hopefully now the rest of her children and
husband will be baptized to form an eternal family!! This was just a
little evidence from God that things happen in his time, we don´t always
know what the results will be. Today I got an email from investigador
in my first area too, it was so good to hear from her!
Our ward here sure seems to be going through
everything. A member, Esther, died, our grandma Maria was in the
hospital.....We called Esther one day to set an appointment, the lady
said Esther had died. I was skeptical of this, because we had just
recently passed by, and her family doesn´t really like the church
anyways. Well it later was confirmed that this less active member really
had died from a sudden heartattack...we passed by one morning and she
wasn´t there, as soon as she came home she passed away. It was so
sudden. Life really is short. The good news is that several less actives
we are working with went to church yesterday!
Other things this week is I went to Paraná for
divisions, my dislike for dogs grew even more as I was peed on right
through the fence as we were contacting a lady, my comp said she is
always entertained by my sleep talking in spanish (I´m doomed for life).
This week our ward activity is an american breakfast...the members
think we are crazy, but they are just going to learn to love pancakes
and scrambled eggs and hashbrowns.
Sounds like you had a good vday! I think we ate some
pizza or cereal or something. Mom, you could have frozen mine:) And
happy bday landon! Yesterday I knew exactly what you would be eating!
jaja. As for ethan....I think he is turning into sterling. Watch his
sleeping habits.
Thanks for the updates. Let me know how the trip to Cali goes. Cuidense!
Love, hermana andrews
