Howdy!
Wow! You guys had a lot this week. Congrats with the
baptism! Thats way cool, I hope everything went well! And thats awesome that
you got to watch the Gilbert temple dedication! Honestly, I don't really
remember the Gila Valley dedication. But I watched the Brigham City dedication
while I was at BYU and that was way cool. Haha I actually watched it 3 times
because they did it repeatedly so everyone that wanted to see it could see
it...I'm not actually sure if I was allowed to watch it all 3 times with my ticket
but umm...No one stopped me so...I did. Oh and the picture with Jaxon and the
buggy was pretty awesome (thanks for sending that Jaxon), I can't wait to go
out with that thing someday. Haha looks like you had a lot of fun! And Fischer
going to Poland...wow. That'll be way cool. Haha I can't even imagine what it
would be like serving over there. And I'm glad to hear Jordan has almost
finished his papers!!! Haha my companion thinks Jordan will go to Japan. We'll
have to see :)
So this week was pretty good. Got bit by another dog...well,
technically it was the same dog. It belongs to one of our investigators and I'm
starting to think getting bit by him might just turn into a normal thing while
we wait for her to answer the door... he didn't rip my pants this time, but
that was like 4 days ago and I still have the mark on my leg from his teeth
so...thats great.
But in another, more important news, the missionary work is
going well. We're struggling to find new people to teach, but the people we do
know are going well. The girl with the dog has a baptismal date and is going to
participate in the talent show/dance that we're going to have in the new
chapel. Another person we're teaching, the sister of JuanP, somehow ended up in
charge of the choreography of something the youth in the ward are going to do,
which is awesome since she's not a member, and we're hoping that will help her
a lot. Also, Mariné (the girl that got baptized a couple weeks ago) and Josía
(her older brother that baptized her) both told us they want to serve missions
now. Josía is working on his papers, but Mariné has to wait a few years, but
its way cool. Mariné is also going to be in the talent show. So yeah. Like I
said, everyone we're working with is going really well, we just need to find
more people. Oh, and we want to start teaching this lady named Juanna. She's
94, comes to church every week, recently became blind, isn't a member
and...doesn't speak spanish. She only speaks Quechua, which is apparently like
the indigenous language in Bolivia and Peru and...something like that. We know
a few people that can translate for us, but we really want to try to learn
Quechua. We've learned a couple phrases but... we've got a long way to go.
So yeah. Awesome stuff. Verse of the week...is more than 1
verse. Matthew 24:14-30. Its the Parable of the Talents. I love it, probably my
favorite parable...or one of my favorites. There is so much stuff in there, and
kind of reminds me of D&C 58:27 and a few other scriptures/things that I
like.
Haha I feel like I probably forgot to include something
but...like always, I'll probably remember what it was as soon as I leave the
computer place. But I hope you guys have a great week and keep being super
awesome!
Que Dios les bendiga
