Hola Mi Familia!!!!
¿Como Están Todos? I really hope all is going well with
all of you, this week has been a crazy week, but an amazing one, things
have been really well, and as always the week just flew by, it felt a
bit long but I can´t believe it is P-day. But many things have happened
this week, and as always I´m going to try to my best to summarize what
has happened this week so that you all have an idea of how I´m doing
down here, so here we go! :)
First things are first, I have amazing news are you all
ready for this.... ¡¡¡¡YASNA SE BAUTIZÓ!!!! It is great that when you
fill out the baptism register that you find out how to spell their
names! haha oops :) But it was such a great baptism, and we are all very
happy!! This whole week though was a bit stressful getting everything
ready, haha we have been visiting or calling her everyday, and on Wednesday she was suppose to have her interview on Wednesday
at 8, and we were calling her and calling her, but she didn´t answer,
we stopped by for her house at about 8 and she had just barely gotten
home from work so it was a little crazy, and our district leader is in a
sector a bit far away, so long story short Elder Bracken (one of our
Zone leaders) with Elder White came from there sector and did the
interview, they got there about 10 and we didn´t leave until 10:30 and
we where in our house at 11, it was absolutely crazy, but she passed her
interview and all was well. But really her baptism was great, and now
we are starting to work with Valeska, her daughter that is 10 years old.
So hopefully we will have another baptism really soon!
This week we also had an activity, we did a mini noche de
hogar with Cordillera and Agronomia and we talked about gratitude but it
was fun haha we, meaning hna. bowns and I were trying to do something
little for thanksgiving,
but we had an activity and had a list of things that we were grateful
for then we played "are you my neighbor" but with our lists and it was
very fun, then we watched a few Mormon message about gratitude and ate
some desserts that people brought, but it was right after the baptism of
Yasna, and Yasna had a great time, we all did.
So something really freaky happened yesterday,
we had the return of the beetle. Remember how I told you that we had a
beetle about the size of a nickle that was green and blue that was in
Hna. Bown´s room, well yesterday
we were planning and had the window open because it was a little hot,
and in flys another one of those beetles, but this time yellow and black
with a bit of orange, it creeped me and Hna. González out a lot, and we
tried to get rid of it, but it flew and now we have now idea were it is
at, so we are a bit scared, but it is all good! We have a lot of fleas
in our room too, were are getting bit up good, but were are doing a deep
clean today of our
room, we think they got there because of an old mattress that is under
our bed, but that is the good thing that someone invented raid and
cleaning supplies!
Well I really don´t have a lot of time left, because we have
to get going here soon to start cleaning and eat something for lunch!
But before I end as always I would like to leave you all with a
spiritual thought. So I´m sure I told you, but maybe I didn´t, but I
have started reading the New Testament, and I really love all the things
that I have been able to read and learn, I have finished Matthew and
Mark, and I´m now working on Luke (I hope to finish before Feb, so I can
read the BOM before the end of my mission) but I absolutely love the
stories and the miracles and the teachings that I am able to learn from
Christ. We had companionship study the other day, and in companionship
study we share what we learned, and I told Hna. González that "well I
have told you before..." because the same miracles and stories are in
Matthew and Mark with a slight change but it is pretty much the same,
and as I started thinking about that, I started thinking why do we hear
the same things over and over and over again, or we read the same things
over and over again. It is because we have to learn the little things
first before God can give us more that is why He has told us "line upon
line, precept upon precept" as we take care of the things that we are
learning and put them into our hearts and we become converted from the
little things He is then able to give us more. Think about the parable
of the talents, He gave each of them a talent, two of them went to work
and found more and were rewarded in the end, but the other went and hid
what he was given and received nothing more because he didn´t show his
ability. That is the same with talents that we have or learning the
basic principles of the gospel. God gives each and everyone of us the
things we need to learn in the time we need to learn it, and it all
depends on what we do with what He gives us, on whether or not He can
give us more. So apply and get to work to achieve more talents and when
the day comes He will look at how we have taken care of the knowledge
the we have received and we will hear: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
Remember that I love you all so much, and I hope that
you all are doing amazing! Know that all is going well here, and I´m
very thankful for all of your prayers and love. Know that I pray for
each and every one of you each and everyday. Please take care and I will
talk to you more next week with more adventures!
Con Amor Siempre y Para Toda La Eternidad,
Hermana Aubrey Jo England
