Hola Mi Familia!!!
¿Como Están Todos? Wow otra vez, this week just flew by!
Time always fly by really fast if you aren´t watching out. Take this for
example, 14 years ago today, I was baptized! Crazy right! We need to
cherish every moment that we have! because we never know how many we are
going to have in the future! But it has been a pretty good week, we had
a hard time finding people because of the Halloween, and Saints day and
another holiday, so it was a long holiday weekend here and many people
were out of town, or visiting from another part; but it was a good week.
I loved the Halloween photos that you sent me!! Danny is really getting
tall and is changing! haha! Halloween here was good, it isn´t as full
blown out as it is in the states, but there were some kids and teenagers
that dressed up and went out asking for candy, but other than that it
wasn´t that big, I believe that it really is only a holiday celebrated
in the states more, for the fact that all the members kept asking me
what the definition of Halloween is, but it was a good day seeing
different costumes. haha we all ran home that night so that we could
plan really fast for the next day, then we all got into our PJs, we made
popcorn, and we watched a bit of "Together Forever" because we have a
DVD player to help with training the new missionaries, Lol that is as
much as we were able to celebrate as Missionaries but it was great!
Tuesday was a good day, we did splits with the Hermana
Marisol, who is the relief society President, and Hermana Mirea, who is
one of her counselors. But we did splits and we went out with them to
help them with visiting teaching because there were many sisters that
hadn´t been visiting. But it was really fun, I went out with Hna.
Marisol and Hna. Gonzalez with Hna. Mirea, and we helped them do there
visits. Can I just tell you I love Hermana Marisol, she is such a great
lady, and we have a lot of fun together, she reminds me a lot of you
mom! :) She make bread every week, well a lot of people here do, but I´m
going to teach Hna. Marisol how to make Sour Dough Bread, she is
excited to learn, because it doesn´t exist here, and I hope it works
out! haha but we are going to experiment!
Well I´m kind of hitting my head on the desk here trying to
think of other things to tell you, it is a bit hard when the week passes
in the blink of an eye! So there was a baptism this week, there is a
family in our ward, Jorge y Maggie, and their boy Benjamin just turned 8
and he had his baptism on Saturday, so we went to help them out with
everything, we went on Saturday and we helped them make no bake cookies!
;) because benja loves them, and we got everything ready for the
baptism. I played the piano and I also gave a short talk for the baptism
too, haha talk about last minute, it is the good thing about being a
missionary that we are always studying the scriptures, so when they
asked me, I had many scriptures come to mind and I picked a few and gave
a short discurso, but it went well! Benja is very happy and so is the
whole family. I´ve grown very close to this family as well, I really
have found a second family with all the people the I have come to know
here! Thank goodness for things like facebook and skype! It will make
things a bit easier!
Well that is pretty much all that I can think of for right
now, I promise I´m trying to get better at writing a list of things to
talk about, there are always things that we can do better at in life,
haha right! But today is going to be fun, we are going to go over to the
Bishops house, and we are going to teach him how to make "no bake
cookies" because Hna. Gladys and him want to learn how to make them, and
I believe they are going to start selling them in their bakery as well!
So this will be a great thing, because it will be a recipe that nobody
has unless you have gotten to know the missionaries!! haha :) And i´m
going to teach him how to make donuts as well! i think we are just going
to start switching recipes!! :) Especially for the cake he made me, it
was so good!!
Well that is pretty much it for today, and as always I would
like to end you all with a spiritual thought! So this week we talked
in zone class about the 2000 stripling warriors and a few
characteristics about them that made them successful in the fact that
none of them perished in the end of the battle, and I would like to
share with each of you this three characteristics because it can help
each and every one of us with goals and things that we want to
accomplish in this life, and the life to come! The three things are
this: 1. The stripling warriors listened to all of the things from their leaders and did what they asked! 2. They had faith unbreakable! 3.
They were exactly obedient! It was through these three things that
helped them have God on their side to protect them through the rough
times, so if we give heed to our leaders (Heavenly Father, Christ,
President Monsen, Bishops, etc.), if we have faith that all will work
out according to HIS WILL and not ours, and do our best each day to be
obedient to the things we know we have to do, all things will work out
in the end! "Yea, and they did obey and observe to perform every
word of command with exactness; yea, and even according to their faith
it was done unto them; and I did remember the words which they said unto
me that their mothers had taught them." (Alma 57:21) I testify to
each and everyone of you that if we do these three things that really we
will see blessings and success in our lives, we just need to continue
on with this faith and remember that all is done in HIS TIME and not
ours, but all will come about, and the blessing will come!
Well that is pretty much it for this week! I hope that all of
you have a amazing, fantastic, wonderful, week! and that your are able
to achieve your goals this week! Remember the three things and I know
that each of you can! Remember that I pray for each and every one of you
always and each day! Thank you for all of your support and love as
well, I really feel it!! Please take care, and I promise next week I
will have more adventures about next week! and news about cambios! :)
Love you all!! Until next week!
Con Amor Siempre y Para Toda La Eternidad!
Hermana Aubrey Jo England
