So it has been a
pretty hard week for me! The work has been hard. It has been difficult this
last week to enter in the houses and find new investigators. But we do have a
couple people that we are working with that can be baptized. One is a lady
named Sara that first met the missionaries in 2010. She is doing great and set
a baptismal date for herself for the 6th of September. We talked to another kid
who is 19. His name is Ezekuiel. He could be a possible baptism for the 30th of
this month. He is thinking about it.
So I will be
getting the MRI on Friday this week. Then probably the next week I will be
getting the results. I am not sure.
So last week when
we talked [Skype on August 11] afterwards I went to play soccer! It was super fun! The missionaries
played against all Latinos. Tres Gringos y un Chileno contra cuatro latinos. We
started off beating them 3 to 0. We were amazed at ourselves because it was a
miracle that we were winning against them. Then it went to 4 to 1. Then all of
a sudden to 6 to 9. We were playing to 10. They finally just started kicking
our butts. Then miraculously we scored three lucky goals and won the game! We
were so proud of ourselves. We definitely should have lost. People here are
really good at soccer.
Today I was also
playing soccer. A kid kicked my finger.....It might be broken or its just
dislocated. It was bent to a 45 degree angle and then I just snapped it back in
place. It made a snapping sound. Its swollen right now. But we are going to the
hospital to get it checked out in a little bit.
I am really thankful
for you guys and that I have you as my family. I love you all and thank you for
everything you all have ever done for me! I know that our Father in Heaven
loves each and every one of his children and his willing to help us with
anything as well. I am really grateful that I have this opportunity to be here
and to serve Him. I am thankful for His support and all the support that you
have all given me. It is my dream to see Andrew, Sean, and Jared leaving on a
mission and coming back two years later! I love this work, I love Christ’s
Church, and I love Him!
I have pretty much
written this email with 6 fingers. All the rest I have wrapped up right now!
haha
Espero que todos
tengan una buena semana! Andrew prepárete para la misión!
Les amo! Besos! :) [
I love you! Kisses! :)]
