Mi amaroso Madre,
WHAT THE HECK IT'S DICIEMBRE! That is crazy. Time is flying by so fast! I have got to just get use to it and except it.
Sounds
like things at home are pretty cold! It's pretty cold here too but
honestly I miss the snow. I am grateful we don't have it here because
that would make things so much harder but I do miss seeing the leafless
tree branches with soft snow tips. That sounds beautiful. Thank you so
so so much for the package! It was just what I needed. The jacket and
gloves are sweet! Super warm and fits perfectly. Thanks :) I really have
the best family in the mission. Don't worry about sending any more, we
got our heater to work! It was such a tender mercy to wake up and not
have to turn on the stove to try and get warm. Snug as a bug! Now we
just have to work on having constant power...baby step by baby step I guess.
This last week was pretty busy and crazy. We had our 6
week follow-up meeting for all the newer missionaries which was awesome. The
President basically had the trainers and the trainees split up and then
we talked about what was good and what we wanted to see more of. I
honestly started to realize how good I have it with Elder Speth. Other
missionaries were talking about not having opportunists to lead in lessons or contacts. All I could think of was my second day taking
the lead teaching the Law of Chasity to Veronica! My first 6 weeks have
been awesome. I can't wait for more.
Also sorry if my spelling is not correct. I have the
hardest time remembering some words in English. Kind of weird but I hope
its a good thing. (I try to catch most of his errors)
That's nuts about the Crammers.
5 boys sounds like quite the party! Be sure to let them know
you're there to help them out! With Brother Crammer's calling I'm sure he
is starting to feel the heat. Support the ward! Our ward (Parkview) really is so
awesome, I took them for granted. Out here we have a lot of drama
between families and some of the work isn't getting done because of it.
Be a blessing not a burden.
So the sad news of this week is that Juventino didn't
end up getting baptized. Satan really put overtime this week and
ended up prevailing. Juventino's son lost his job, the family is getting
kicked out of their house, and one of his other sons is trying to cross
the border, which is super scary and deadly. All of this happening the
week before one of the most important covenants of his life. It was
hard to take it. But we did all we could. We gave it the faith we had
and he has chosen his agency. We plan to be patient with him and reset
the date but after this week it's hard to see things getting better. I
hope they don't move out of our area.
Hope things are well Mom! I love you and think about you
all the time. Hopefully as time goes on I will be able to get better at
these emails. I still feel so scattered and spacey but just know how
much you mean to me! I can feel your love and prays everyday!
Con Amor
