June 8
so i had
something all filled out to send yall the last week but then suddenly my
computer died haha waw. but anyway now i will write!
for the
first time in forever haha i have a good computer and the internet is working!
yeah!!! we had to walk all around town to find a "cyber" that was
open but yay! hahaha
this week
has been super awesome and also super like ahhhhh!!! so this recent convert
Victor is still giving us referrals and so we went to visit his brother Arturo
and his wife Liliana and they are awesome! they have also seen this change in
Victor and his family so they are willing to listen and they went to the ward
FHE [family home evening] wednesday! and loved it! and have now gone twice to
church! i taught the people of perico jujuy what Jeopardy is in the FHE hahaha
it was soooo fun! It's weird cuz here like nobody plays games and so they LIVE
for the games we teach them haha, it's awesome! and then they went to
church!!!! weeee!!!
[One of the families we are teaching] couldn't go to church and are having problems-- not like their
relationship just like lots of problems with money. they really don't have
anything- like each member of the family has one thing to wear and [the father]
feels bad and like he can't get married in situations like this cuz he feels like
he's working so hard but doesn't have [enough] to provide for his family. it really
breaks my heart. i seriously feel such love for these people and am finally i
think understanding what compassion is--suffer with another. not feel sorry for
but rather hurt with them. just like what Christ did. like sometimes they each
have one boiled egg to eat. that kills me. recently a member gave us a ton of pizza- like a ridiculous amount
and so yesterday we stopped by [their house] and gave them 2 pizzas and
I've never seen kids so happy. There are lots of things to be thankful for. i
feel like that sentence doesn't convey bien what i want to say but, well.
there is
also Mauricio and Estefania! they are aweosme! they are married! and Estefania
is coming back to church out of nowhere. has been less active for 10 years. is
30 right now and she married Mauricio. and he has such interest in the church
and wants to be baptized and now is going to church and ahhh they're awesome!
Estefania shared her testimony of forgiveness and the Atonement and it was ahhh
powerful! well there's so much to tell!
mi hija [new missionary that she is training] is awesome! we get along super well and
she is seriously pre-trained! It's too cool. She's a ball of energy and we two
together, we're like the happiest people on earth haha! She's got a really hard
story, like her background, but is soo strong thanks to that. seriously! It's
sooo fun and i feel like we work really well together!
well i
love you allllllllll more than i crave mexican food!

June 15
ahhh
things are soooo good! this has been the craziest week! so we were working and
Mauricio works in mines like in the border of Bolivia and Chile and so he works
10 days then is here 10 days, and so this week we went to visit them a lot to
teach and monday he was like, "yes i will get baptized" but didn't
accept a date cuz he wanted to speak with his family and we were like ah we
hope that that won't be something that he like puts off and puts off and so we
come back wednesday and he was like, "guess what! i told my family and
they didn't geet mad! the opposite! they were super happy for me!" and we
were like yayyy! and so he was gonna get baptized the 27 and basically we were super excited but then a few more things
happened that complicated everything and we were like ahh and then basically
one thing after another happened trials of our faith and bam! he got
baptized!!!!!! ah it was sooo awesome! and Arturo y Liliana our investigadors
came! and ahh the Spirit was sooo strong and we, the missionaries, sang Come Thou Fount in inglish and spanish
haha it was awesome. hna lugo was like ahhhh englsh but did a super job! it was
soo awesome and later we talked with him and he was like "I've never felt such peace. i really
was born again." ahhh so awesome and they are gonna in a year get sealed
ahhhhhhh I'm dying. Estefania has been
like in shock that he progressed so quick and has such desires! It's so
awesome! and the dad of Mauricio passed away like 3 years ago and so he is
super excited to be baptized for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what
else? i found kit kat here! it's fraud, it's from a phony company in Brasil but
tastes almost the same! the pringles here are from the states, for that they
are really expensive! ah my compañera is so awesome seriously! so much
felicidad! It's super awesome and the ward here is super awesome! like yesterday
we didn't have anything to eat cuz our lunch canceled on us (did i ever tell
yall that dinner here doesn't exist- it's breakfast and lunch and the members
give us lunch hahaha yeah its weird) and so yea we didn't have anything and
then our ward mission leader calls us and is like "do you all have food to
eat? no? okay we'll send yall something!" and sent us empanadas! it was
too awesome. asi que don't worry about us! We're taken care of! :))))) and yup
that's all i have time for
