So I don't have time today... In case you didn't know.. I talk too much. And so..
Ya fue this email!!
But just so you all know Im alive and loving life,
hahaha this week was pretty awesome!
I'm pretty sure this branch could be in the world records for most amount of people who attend church but its still a branch, they have the worlds FATTEST BABY!! seriously... shes the biggest child I have ever seen. Her rolls have rolls. shes at least three people. And lastly... a 100 year old man sang to me. He's a member. And I pretty much love him to death. He literally is perfectly healthy. He has no problems walking or picking stuff of the ground. Only thing is he can't hear you talking unless you're right next to him. But he sang us a song this week during lunch. My heart!!! AWW!!
also... people keep asking me if Im Italian... Im not sure how or why but i have a italian accent in spanish... didn't know this was possible. but DANG IT! Ahh!
So the work here is probably my favorite thing in the whole world... besides like God and Jesus Christ... but this is their work... so you know.... same thing. But I LOVE talking to people!! They become my very best friends. They teach me how to make empanadas in the streets, tell me every problem they ever had, I become like their white daughter that they've never wanted... all is well. And then they rip out your heart and don't want to listen to the very thing that literally saves lives. That and all of our investigators are members now... which is awesome!! But now... now we need new investigators. hahaha But the work goes on!!!!
So I've seen a lot of miracles this week, and I just want to say that if you're not working with your missionaries... go. do it. I don't care the excuses. Because when the members and the missionaries work together, lives literally change. I have a strong testimony of this. Go work with the missionaries. Remember that while we are servants of God, we still are only in our early twenties or younger. we need all the help we can get.
I love this gospel with all my heart. And I know that the Book of Mormon literally has every answer to every question every. Sometimes I feel like a doctor prescribing medicine... read this chapter everyday for one week and youll feel just fine again.... but it's so true. So when you feel like life is too hard or too crazy... are you reading your scriptures? are you praying? are you going to church every Sunday? Because if no... then theres your prescription. Our lives are always hard when we forget Christ. Put him at the center and your life might not be easier but He always ALWAYS lifts us above what we feel we can't handle.
I love you all so much!
Thanks for the letters and emails!!!
I think I'll find my suitcases the last week of my mission... but hahaha oh well.
Clothes are EXPENSIVE! Seriously... I don't know if its the norm or if I was in Ukraine for too long of a time but every shirt is at least 20 or 30 bucks. its killing my soul. Im kinda a cheapskate. or least here. hahahaha Im looking for suitcases but its hard.
Basically i live in a tiny little city. Which means that if they don't have it.... good luck. And we leave far from anywhere else to go buy stuff. But i did find some clothes in a different area when we were there for a meeting. Its going to take me a while. Life is expensive and not for tall people. hahahaha
| us making bundt cake with some investigators... hahahah I love them so much |
I have had 5 baptisms in my four months. Ayleen, Milagros, Maria de los Angeles, Cora, and Raquel. The area I was in before is one of the toughest areas for baptism. The last one was almost two years ago, but we were blessed with 3. I hope that this helps that ward.
We have about two or three more persons but they need to go to church. hahah But the work is moving on.
Its definitely hard when you talk to this people and they become your best friends in a matter of minutes and then they rip our your heart and don't want to listen to your message. They very thing that could help them alot. You'd be surprised how much people open to us in the streets. People here are not afraid of strangers, just strange people. But because I live in a area with Menonites and Chinese people... people don't have problems at all with talking to us. hahaha I love it.
