Hola Familia!
Como esta? It sounds like life is going well! Yay for the
Utes. I am very happy about the win. The work is moving along here in Sucre! We
are so busy everyday it is awesome. I feel like we have so many investigators
it is hard to give them all the attention I want to!
This week we had Elder Calderon of the Area Seventy visit us
and we had a big conference here at the stake center with all the missionaries
from Sucre, Potosi, and Tupiza. It was super awesome and so fun! It was cool because
Elder Calderon had given a devotional to us in the CCM and at that point I
couldn't understand much at all and had to wear earphones with the translation
in English, but this week I understood everything (with context clues for the
words I didn't know haha)! I was very happy about this. Elder Calderon talked a
lot about how our work is for Christ and really helped me focus on my role as a
missionary to bring others unto Him. He also talked a lot about working with
members which made Hna Moscoso and me so happy because we have been so focused
on this. The night of the conference Elder Calderon had a meeting with all the
bishops as well and as he was leaving with Pres. Dyer and the assistants we
were finishing up a map we made of the ward mini-mission we created to help the
members get involved in the missionary work. They liked the idea so much Hna
Moscoso and I are going to go to Cochabamba next week to present the plan in
the leadership training for zone leaders and sister training leaders. I'm super
nervous about having to present in front of people in my broken Spanish, but it
will be cool. We'll also probably get to go to the temple with everyone in
Cochabamba which I am way excited about. It'll be cool to see Hna Hill and all
my friends from the CCM!
This week was awesome! We taught so many awesome people and
have one family (a mom and two children) that a member
introduced us to that came to church on Sunday and has as baptismal date for
the 19th of October. We also have Vanesa that is progressing super well towards
her baptismal date on the 12th of October and 2 other young (18 and 21 years old)
girls that have dates as well! The only sad news is the couple we have been working with... They
have problems in their relationship that are making it hard for them to get
married and be baptized. Tonight we are going to have to talk to them and see
if they really want this and that they need to figure things out... that will
be interesting haha.
Things are great and I am so so happy! I love you all so
much! I love being a missionary as well, this work is truly the Lord's work and
I feel so blessed to be a part of it!
