Don't Die Mom

 

Wow my, don´t die, also do what the doctor says so you don´t get any worse.  I know you are stubborn and you don´t want to follow the doctors orders, but you might just have too!

 

So i got a surprise Friday at our meeting.  TWO packages!! i didn´t realize how happy that stuff would make me, ¨Freak yea! More soft tissues to use the bathroom, when there is no paper!¨¨Double freak yea!! Enough antibiotics for my whole mission! Maybe i won´t get another infection.¨ ¨Yes mopre garments tambien!!¨yea, dad you regifted me with that package, i did love that little study kit though, it was exactly what i wanted.  So i think a latina somewhere is having a party with the popcorn, christmas decorations and my camera cord that was in the other package, yea i think that´s long gone, sorry!! No Tengo!

 

Well, this morning i was in a bit of a war, we went PAINTBALLING!! I have some bruises.  I was the last one still in in my team, i had 23 bullets left, they all knew where i was though, then two from the sides, one in front, one in back just started pelting me!!! i couldn´t even shoot.  My LD hit my hand so i dropped my gun, i have a bruise and i don´t know if it is blood or paint on my hand, so i was out.  He cam up to me, ¨Lo Siento Hermana!¨ Ëlder es un guerra, esta bien,¨ He felt bad, but it´s war! We gotta do what we gotta do!

 

So we have been doing this project as a mission, each day we have a few verses to read and a question to think about.  They have all been about the Atonement.  In my patriarchal blessing it says i will have the ability to share this in my testimony from the bottom of my heart, it wil be unwavering, so i have decided that in each lesson to share about the Atonement.  My testimony has strengthened so much!! One inv. said he is all alone, he can´t see his kids and his parents are dead, i said, Christ walked alone to Calvary so you don´t ever have to be alone.  He said that God left Christ.  I said he had to so he will feel this ultimate pain so he will know EXACTLY how we aall feel.  He was crying by the end, i showed him that picture from the Sacred Gifts museaum.  We are never alone! The Atonement helps us with every aspect of our life! I don´t want to stand in front of Christ in the judgment day and have him say, ¨Why didn´t you ever use this gift that i gave you?¨I don´t want that for these people either.  The other day we explained repentence to Carlos and Noelia, they were amazed that God won´t remember them anymore.  They loved it! Carlos said that he wants to repent.  They just need to go to church! They have such strong testimonies and so many desires, they just can´t get to church! They Read too! Pray for them! They are our English friends from Virginia! 

 

So the other day we had two new invs. at church, they are friends with a teacher.  They are golden! We shared the JS movie with them! I have such a strong testimony of JS, and after that, Cintia, she said, there was no way that this story couldn´t be true.  Freak yea!! it was great! 

 

Evan and Daddy! Happy Birthday!! I meant to take a cute picture, but I didn´t so sorry! 

 

So Bradly keeps making fun of me cause one day I said, Jooves and Apointamentos, yea neither of those are words.  So Then i just speak in english to him hahaha.  He actuallñy speaks english really well! 

 

Yesterday was our last day to take the sacrament for three weeks . . . next week is stake conference, freak yea we are in the same stake as pres!, then there are elections and it´s against the law to hold public meetings, then general conference!!

 

Dad, like Jake´s people, everything here starts late.  There is no clock here, it´s by the sky and when you can eat again! it is hard at times, that´s why i am worried that i wont´be punctual when i get back! AHHHH!!!! 

 

The other day Jose decided to go back to the jungle to live with his parents.  Lioterally, Chapari is the jungle.  We are way sad. WE can´t visit him anymore.  Also there is no church in the jungle! He had just started opening up to us too! Freaking jungle! 

 

My new leader de zona, he´s pretty cute. . . uh ohhhhh. 

 

The other day we traveled almost two miles to a visita, yea it was in our area, whoops, but we didn´t know that because we were still in the cancha! It is huge!!!!! They need a map of it or something.  

 

Well, I am still alive, I did get a cold though so my mission mommy, my pension gave me medicine! all good now!
