Hey
Family, 6 Feb 2013
This past week has
been good for us .
The electricity
went out in our house and we didn’t have water either!... Well maybe that’s not
the good part, but here it’s life haha .
This week we got
our investigators to church. there is a Haitian named Wolinmsky that we have
been teaching for a while. He came to church when I thought there was no hope
for him! We went to his house and taught him with Maxi James (who just got
baptized) and it was an amazing lesson, even though it was taught in English,
Spanish, Creole and French. We all understood enough to know that James really
helped Wolinmsky to understand the importance of the word of wisdom!! On Sunday we sent a member to his house to
pick him up to go to church but he was sleeping; but right as we were finishing
sacrament meeting he walked in and it made me so so happy!!. Ha
We had an
intercambio (trade-off) the other day and I went with Elder Romney. As we were
finishing and getting ready to go back to the house. I decided to visit a member
that has always treated us well. As we got to the house she asked us to come in
and talk to her. So we did and she asked us for a blessing of health. I asked
her why but she didn’t want to tell me. So I did as I was asked, and we left. On
Thursday we had a meeting and she
was there representing the Relief Society. She bore her testimony about how she
had had signs of cancer and the doctor said that she would more than likely be
diagnosed with it. She went on to say that the day after we gave her the
blessing, she went to the hospital and they said that she wouldn’t need to
worry, that it wasn’t going to grow anymore!! Sweet right! that Lord blesses
people - still !!!!! ha
A couple things
about the mission. In our meeting that we had with the president, he talked a
lot about how we are going to be getting like 40 new missionaries and more then
all of them (most of them) are going to be girls haha or sister missionaries.
So, they are opening two areas in my zone for sister missionaries! We found out
that Elder Anderson and Elder Rasband are coming to the DR and we will be having
a meeting with Elder Rasband which is pretty exciting.
ALSO . one of my
old comps called me this week. Elder Ruiz, I was with him in el Ejido about a
year ago. He called me and we talked for a while, it was legit to hear from
him. He said that he is coming to visit the mission.
Pictures:
Elder Renderoz and me in
the branch of la Herradura (its a tiny house that they use as the church)
we went out to a district meeting to see how the missionaries were doing.
Three guys that
work in a car wash next to the house sleeping on cardboard in the shade!! haha I
should’ve woke them up and taught them!
LOVE YOU!
