March 23, 2015

this week was pretty cool!  We got our goal for the week.  We have been working with a famiy from another city, a mom and two sons who are really cool! the mom has been searching sincerely for an answer and reading the book of mormon.  She is a friend of a member out their and is progressing really well.  We found some really cool people this week that went to church. i think they liked it alot.  We are always excited to have new interested investigators.  

This week i studied alot about Love-Charity.  I started to realize the importance of having love, its so important that even if you do all the "works" and have all the faith, but dont have love...you are nothing!  Love is so powerful that it can give you an instant remission of sins! You can be purified if you love much!  What a wonderful thing.  I am trying so much to develop this "pure love of Christ".  It was such a great topic of study this week!

This week was the birthday of  the guy next to me cutting the food in that picture and Leandro our recent convert.  they had a barbecue sunday after church and invited Leandro and Patricia to eat with us.  That family is really special, the pictures on facebook are from the family nights at their house.  We gave them a family proclamation to the world in a really pretty picture frame i had in my suitcase :)  and gave the testimony of the living christ to leandro.  i gave each of them an old spice....because they dont have american deodorant here. haha. i told them that i wasnt trying to hint to them that they stink, haha. its because american things here are like "super cool" and "hi tech"  and thats like the only american thing i have.

Well i dont have to much other stuff to say, im loving this area! the work is great! my comp is really cool! we had some great cooler weather these past two weeks, it was wonderful, but today its already gotten a bit hotter.  

I have gotten really skinny, ha. i thought i would gain a little weight with the wonderful food we get, but my body just cant eat very much anymore. and i sweat so much of it off in this heat!

Well i love you guys! Have a great week!   congrats mom!

Tchau!
