Hola bebe que tal!! What’s up what’s
up?
Dang, sounds like a pretty crazy week with all
that baseball going on haha. That’s no good that Ethan chipped his tooth…
everyone has now. Hopefully I don’t chip my tooth. I don’t think I will because I take vitamins
that make my bones and teeth stronger haha:) I have fallen down in the street a
couple times… I guess I’m lucky I didn’t chip my tooth.
Well things here in Valles are
going really great…I really love Valles. This City is pretty sweet even though
it can be hot at times. But for real, I like the hot way more than the cold. So
when it’s just a little cold now I feel super cold. It gets up to about 126
degrees here. The sun is super strong and can suck the energy right out of ya. So
we have to drink sooo much water, if we don’t drink water we will shrivel up
and get crusty dry… haha;)
So this Sunday all of our recent conversos went to church, so that was
really good! Rigoberto, Victor, Vanessa,
Anelli, Nestor…. but none of our menos activos showed up and none of our
investigators…. but what do ya do? We do all we can to try to get them to
progress but everyone has there albedrio.
Thelma, one of our investigators, doesn’t even live in our area and so
we are passing her on to the other Elders. She is a way good reference. Especially
because I’ve taught her all of the lecciones and she is ready for baptism and
she has a baptism date and everything. Good thing I don’t care about the number
of baptisms… some Elders just count numbers and care about numbers... but I
really care about the people and what they have learned and how they have
progressed.
Oh yeah, Blake’s beard and mustache is sweet!! Haha Ethan’s mullet is
really cool too!! Sometimes I just want to grow my beard out haha jk:) I can’t
believe that prom is already!! Dang time flies! Who is Blake asking or who did
he ask? That’s tight that Adam didn’t ask anyone..;) Ya so I guess that means
that in about 5 months I will have about a year wow!!! But who’s counting
right??
So
how are Grandma and Grandpa doing, from both sides? Tell everyone hi for me
ok;) So Justin Post is doing really good, he says he talks like a black man
haha and Joe is doing really good too. I try writing everyone, I think
sometimes the emails don’t send or something, because I thought I wrote Adam. Have
you heard from Tyler Purcell??
So this week we didn’t teach as many lessons as the week before but that’s
alright we visited a lot of families! We always pass by and see how everyone is
doing. So I ran out of money already. I don’t know what’s up, but the money
goes really fast here. So I might have to use my card for lunch this week.
Here is one spiritual experience that we had this week… So we waited
about an hour for this Sister to get home from work. Elder Martinez wanted to leave and go walk around
in the sun or something, but we ended up waiting and she gave us cookies and
water and we taught the whole family and the spirit was really strong. We
taught about blessings from the Book of Mormon. To end the lesson all 5 of her
kids said their prayer and it was really special then the mom said her prayer. The
spirit and everything was so beautiful, we felt so good. So I was really glad
we had the patience and waited for her to get home.
Every week and day I learn
something new or different I am always learning and trying to progress in all
that I do. I made a diagram of the gospel of Jesus Christ that I use to teach…
it is really smooth to teach with and everyone really understands the gospel
after I teach with it. I’ll take a picture of it. I’ve made pictures for all
the lessons, it’s really fun to find your own special way to teach. I try to
use ideas and stuff that I have learned from every Elder. So if you have any
good ideas you should tell me them haha;)
Well, I hope that you have a great week and that nobody chips their
tooth this week. Thanks for everything! I love everybody so much! CTR all day erryday... rise to the occasion.
With love,
Elder Lawrence ;)
