It has been a pretty good week-a little disappointing- yesterday, again,
we had no one at church. Christian had
his interview on Saturday and passed and everything. Everything was set for his baptism, all he
had to do was come to church,...but as I told you, no one came...we called
after church and his mom said that she had slept in... so, his baptism will
have to be the 13th, the last Saturday before transfers.
Narcissa never answered her phone yesterday, so we
don’t know what happened with her, but I think we are going to end up leaving
her since the Hermanas were working with her before I got here and we are still
working with her, but we´ll see.
We have a new family that we are working with, as
well- the family Montano- and we found
them in our area. The Hermanas before had
left them because they weren´t married and didn’t have plans to do so very
soon, but they now are married and they are great...they just have yet to come
to church, but they have an adorable little boy named Jairo, he is 3 and just a
ball of energy!! Ha, ha!! We are going to keep working and teaching
them the importance of coming to church.
In the Lord´s time will make it to the baptismal
font and eventually, to the temple! We, well, I also had the opportunity
to do divisions with Hermana Castillo on Wednesday! It was sooo fun!! We talked a ton, about everything and anything
and laughed and had a great time!!
Well, as I told you on Monday, we went to
Chimborazo and it was great!! My companion got super sick, we think from the
altitude, it is one of or the highest in the world, because Ecuador is already
so high up then a volcano on top of it, but the rest of us were fine...at least
until that night, we all had a horrible heachache!!! So worth it!
It started snowing on us while we were there- the snow was soo pretty!!!
It is so true! After high school, all the big decisions
start! As I have been talking with
Hermana Castillo and it applies even more so now..we were talking about how the
next really big decision we are going to be making is who we are going to be
spending eternity with....just eternity-- no biggie!
Get your patriarchal blessing!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a huge help and guides in this phase of
life!!
It
is so true, even as missionaries, sometimes it is hard to accept the timing of
the Lord in our lives and in the lives of those we are teaching, but I know
that when we put our trust in Him, He will help us and everything will turn out
the way it was always meant to be!
Take
every advantage you have to go to the temple and be sure you are reading your
scriptures-- the words of the Lord, special for you!!
love
you all have an amazing week!!
