So, this has been a great week here... Miriam and her huzband Marcet are doing great still. They are Golden investigadors. I love teaching them. On saturday, they invited us over for lunch, and they tried to kill us again with so much food. We each got a whole chicken, and a ton of salad and peaches and ice cream. 

... honestly Im struggling to think of what to write that is interesting and new... but we really do the same thing all day everyday, haha. But I love it. I love my companion, I love my area, and I love my ward. 

This month is going to be very special for the mission, I can feel it. In our area we have 6 baptismal fechas planned already, and a lot more to come. I love the spirit of christmas that comes every december, even though Cristmas traditions are REALLY different here, the spirit is generally the same.

Oh, also, this week we have been traveling to each ward in the stake to give a special training meeting with the Ward Counsil to form Ward mission plans. Its been a really big time sacrifice, and has required a lot of coordination and thought, but we feel like it has been helping a lot to get the members moving. The members here are really great, but because the church still is not very strong here, they need to be shepherded pretty closely in order to get them to go in the right direction. 

Anyways, I am doing good. Feel free to send me letters :)

I love you all!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!! we completely forgot untill 10:25 in the night, 5 minutes before lights out, so we had a rushed little celebration. Luckily I had a little chunck of chicken that I had made last week that we shared real quick. Its the closest we had to turkey. But the best part about Thanksgiving is that it means that we can now sing the christmas hymns in lessons and studies. I love singing, and have really seen it change that hearts of lots of investigadors, we always sing a hymn to start off lessons and companion study, and in the shower, and in the street. so, we get lots of singing done. I especially love to sing the christmas songs. Honestly, they are better in spanish than english, the lyrics are better in my opinion. But thats OK because some of the other hymns have better lyrics in english than spanish. 

Right now we have LOTS of great investigadors. the most amazing ones are Miriam and Marcet. They are an older couple (He has 69 years of age!, the oldest ones Ive ever taught) and she all her life has been a HARD CORE evangelist. But the Lord has prepared them so perfectly to recieve us. It is amazing just how naturally they are accepting the truiths of the Restored Gospel. She says that we are filling a hole in her heart that she didnt even know existed. Ha, also they try to grandparent us a little. Yesterday we went after church to teach them, and they would not let us escape undill they had forced about 20 grilled cheese sandwiches, a whole pizza, and two bowls of ice cream down our throats :) It was a struggle because we had another lesson to get to, and we are on a diet, so that was funny. Oh, also, our bishopric thinks that he looks exactly like President Benson haha. 

So, today I have 18 months as a full time missionary. On saturday I got what they call the "trunky call" when they call you and ask what airport you are going to and everything. And the worst part is that my ORO Elder Whiting is the mission secretary, and he called me, my own son, to plan the end of my mission. But like I said last week, I still see HUGE mountians of work to climb that are laying ahead of me. 

I am happy and healthy. and hungry. I am greatful for the trust that the Lord has placed in me in being able to help out with the most important work that ever has or will exist.

one of the best days of my mission

Yesterday was one of the best days of my misson. So, all this week we had really been working hard hard on being able to reach the daily goals that we set the day before, so we knew that we were going to see some big miricles on sunday.. its allways that way. when you work hard in the week the lord blesses you on sunday. Sundays are the most stressfull daysof the mission because ALL of the work that you did during the week depends on it. If the people go to church, it means that they are progressing, if they dont, it means that they still need a lot of work. But this sunday we had 8 investigadors in the sacrament meeting, 15 recent converts, and 5 less active members that we had found during the week. there is NOTHING that feels better than being able to sit down in the sacrament meeting and just enjoy it because of all the people that are being converted there. I have had 2 sundays in my mission where I had zilch investigadors, and let me tell you, it feels BAD. like you are wasting your time. So, I loved seeing so many people there this week. 

 Then later yesterday we went out with a recent convert to go visit a few people that she knew, and we found 2 families to teach!!! This is a miracle. It is near impossible to find complete families here in Uruguay. Me and my companion have dedided that the biggest christmas presant that we could possibly give to the Lord and his Church is a new family in the gospel, so we have been fasting and preying a lot to be able to find families to convert. So, when we found these beautiful families we knew that it was a direct result of those prayers and desires. The lord really does give to his servants according to their desires. 

cool news from president Armstrong, some people have been recieving mission calls recently that say "Taiwan mission UNTILL THE CHINA MAINLAND MISSION OPENS" it truely is an amazing moment for the explosion of the Church of Jesus Christ in the world. Lots of prophesies are about to be fufilled. Just watch and see. 

so, almost everyone who has been writing me has been talking about how they are excited that my mission is almost done and im almost home blah blah. haha I really dont know what your all talking about! I am still just starting. There is a lot to do. I honestly see a ton of "Mountians to Climb" still before May rolls around. 

It is getting HOT. Send some ice if you can. 

But I am super happy, healthy, and tan (from the neck up and elbows down). 

Thanks, Elder Wilson

First things first, Jorge and Iara got baptized! They are the Rodriguez family that I have been talking so much about. In the picture they are all there, including the grandparents. The family all got baptized 20 years ago, but then went inactive. But a couple weeks ago we found them just knocking doors, and, well, now all of the family is active, and even the grandparents are active now. One of the scriptures that I love is D&C 15:6. It is true. my mission means everything to me. It is the thing that is of the greatest worth.

I love working with families. It is the most satisfying work.

This week I found a quote by David O McKay (my personal favorite modern day prophet to study) that goes something like this "The greatest calling in the church is the one in which you can give the greatest service." 

We are all really excited for the annoucment about lowering the mission age. This week in a conference with president Armstrong he told us that before the church offices recieved 1200 missionary applications a week, now they recieve 4000 a week. and 50% Sisters. In our mission we have 185 missionaries, but they tell us to expect 250 within a couple monthes. This is amazing. It is just what the chruch needs to blow up in explosion. 

Anways, please pray for me and my companion to find the people to recieve the gospel. recently our companionship liahona has been going pretty well, but the missionary work pretty much is finding people to teach. 

I am really excited too because tomorrow for the first time in almost a whole year I we are going to the temple!!!!!!!!! I am really excited to be able to feel that sweet and specific instructions from the Lord there inside. 

Anyways, thanks for everything! 

Elder Wilson

Elder Wilson says Happy Halloween!

Happy holloween! from elder wilson and elder looney.

So this week was great. the rodriguez family is going great, and their son and daughter will be baptized on saturday. Also, it was cool because the mom of the dad is also a less active member, and she came on sunday with 4 of her other granddaughters on sunday as well. I am really excited for this baptism, and I love being able to see a full family recieve the blessings of the gospel. 

Also, I had a really good experience this week because one of my converts here who I really love fell into a temptation and comited a sin and hid from us and everything, and sent messages that he was done with the church and it broak our hearts. But we fasted and preyed really hard and were really persistant wiht hiim and everything to open the door to us and everything. I feel like we were VERY persistant, but his eternal salvation was at stake, so we decided to do everything possible to get save him. and well our prayres were answered, and he is now as good as ever, and happy and everything. I learned a great lesson about repentance and forgiveness with him this week. 

But, I am really happy. its a little bit funny, because in Preach my Gospel at the end of the 6th chapter there es an activity about rate-your-christlike-attributes, and for the section of Humility the first one is "I am meek and humble of heart" and youve got to rate yourself from 1-5, 5 being that youve got it down, and one being that youve gotta work on it. Its kind of a trick question. When I starte the missin I was rating pretty high up there, but now, as I ve learned a little bit about humility, my numbers have been dropping down. I guess that means I am progressing. 

Anyways, thanks for all your prayres and help and everything. I love you all. I know that this work is true and that this gospel will fill the whole earth convert by convert. 

Elder Wilson. 

ps. vamos arriba Romney. 

Impactful

This week was one of the most impactive weeks of my mission. So, on
Saturday we hade the conference with Elder Oaks of the 12, Elder
Hallstrom of the presidencey of the 70, Elder Viñas of the 70, and
Elder Chapes of the 70. Elder Oaks and Elder Hallstrom have always
been my heros, so I was sooooo happy to be able to pass a couple hours
with them, shake their hands and ask them questions and everything. It
was such a powerful experience.

Elder Hallstrom spoke about the way to benefit the most possible out
of the meetings in the chruch, and how to make a Real Growth in the
church. He is such a pwoerful person, and an example to me. His words
"the lord wants converts, not baptisms. He is displeased when a
missionary baptizes his unconverted children" burned deep into my
heart. This is a great and humbling lesson that I am excited to preach
to the investigadors and the missionarys in my zone.

Elder Oaks spoke mainly about Repentance, and not in the way that we
as missionaries need to repent, but more about the importance of
helping the investigadors repent."I want all your investigadors to
know that being a member of this chruch is not an easy thing". He
talked about the importance preaching change to the investigadors.
This is the way to have a good retención. And he spoke about the
importance of the Sacrament meeting, and having people come to it. He
told us that the hardest thing about being a General Authority is that
they cant take the sacrament every week because they are always going
to Stake Conferences, but that the ordanance was so important that the
prophet commands them to get together once a month in the salt lake
templet to take it together. So, he said the the most holy ordinance
that takes place in the Salt Lake temple is the Sacrament. That taught
me a really great lesson about the way that I need to teach of the
holy importance of the sacrament to my investigadors... well it really
was a conference that changed my life.

Also, this week one of the most miraculous things that we are seeing
is the Rodriguez family. We had been preying and fasting a lot to be
able to find a whole family to convert. parents and children. On
tuesday we felt the impression to go and contact a certian street that
we never go to because it is really dangerous and just knock doors. We
were naturally a little hesitant to do it, because, well its scarey
over there and it didnt seem very smart to just go without a specific
house to get into. But in my mission I have decided to take
impressions of the spirit seriously, so we went, not wanting to be
there long, and picked a door in the middle of the street, knocked it,
and following the 300 pound guard dog, out came a man, who just looked
at us and said, Come in. So.. we did. we went in and sat down and out
came the wife and the 5 children to listen to us, and turns out that
the parents are actually members who have been inactive for 20 years,
and the only thing that they remember of the church is that its true,
but the kids arnt, but now all of them are eather coming back to the
church or going to get baptized. It is one of the most
prepared-by-the-lord finding experiences that I have ever had. They
all came as dressed up as they can to church on sunday and everything.
I am proud to say that I am helping a whole family recieve a
conversion in the gospel. Like i said before, I love working with
inactive members and part-families.

Also, change calls came. I stay with my companion for a third change!!
and the other elders that live with us all stey too. I am really
excited, because their are a ton of things left over to do here in the
area still.

But, I am really happy and everything.

Pray for us to keep finding families like the family Rodriguez to
teach and convert.

Elder Wilson

All of the people that got baptized, and Edison, the one who got baptized a few monthes ago, who did the baptisms. The two families that got baptized are part member families that are now completed.

Baptism of Dangeline y Andrea!! 

First things first, We had two awesome baptisms!!! Danyeline (8) y Andrea (11). So, the other week we were going around with a member named Gustavo (who practically is like having another full tiem missonary in the ward, he is awesome), and he said "oh I remember that there is a inactive lady that hasnt been to the chruch in like 5 years", so we passed by, and the two daughters were really anxious to get baptizedand everything. They are so amazing. For example, one of them got in trouble by her school teacher because in class she would always just read the folletos that we give them, and the other kids would all start reading about the Restoration or Plan of Salvation or Law of Chastity or whatever pamphlet she brought that day. haha. The baptismal service was amazing too. Edison, the recent convert, performed the 4 baptisms that happened. The mom Alejandra, who for 5 years had been inactive gave a super spiritual talk about baptism and told about her own repentance process that she was going through in order to come back to the church. 

We are a little devistated because Teresa, our investigador who is going to get baptized next week did not come to church... but we have so much faith for her that she will be dressed in white this weekend. 

Well, we are doing good... On sunday we will know if there are changes in our companionship and house. I hope that I stay with my companion, and its very possible... but its all what the lord wants, I dont have my heart set on anything special exept for being a missionary (although, I have spent half of my missionary service as a Zone Leader, so if presedent decided to assign me to something else, I wouldnt be super devistated  ;) no, I have nothing to complain about, I have had a perfect mission, and I absolutely love being a Zone Leader).

Also, we have a multi mission conference on saturday with Elder Oaks!!!!!!!!! Thats going to be quite the experience. and it will be good to see some of my friends of the other mission that I know.

Anyways, lots of great stuff coming up! I´m excited and happy. 

Keep me in your prayers and everything. And write me if you feel like it.. haha mail is kinda on the stop. 

I love the church and all of the people that I have gotten to know here, and to be able to see the change in their lives. People like Alejandra who are willing to humble themselves before the lord and come back into his fold. Helping with that is what has really made me learn and grow as a misisonary. 

I love you all, 

Elder Wilson

Gabriela and the bishop, who baptized her. 

me and my well worn shoe. Weve been through a lot together. I estimate that weve made the equivilant of going from Uruguay all the way to Utah or something :)

First things first, We had a baptism! Her name is Gabriella, who 3 weeks ago came on her own to the church because 2 years ago she was recieving the lessons from the missionaries, but stopped because she could not stop smoking. But she was going through a hard moment in her life, and remembered that she had felt really good before when she was with the missionaries, and wanted to come back.So we worked with her and helped her a lot.. she had a lot of wrong ideas in her head about God and the Gospel and everything bacase she has been through a lot of hard things in her life, and had gone to lots of false churches...but she showed a lot of faith by stopping smoking, and learning the truith. 

Finally it was really warm this week. Summer has come in full swing. Its a little bit funny, because we go a whole 6 months praying for warmth, then at the instant that it gets hot we pray for the cold again. I guess that us humans should learn to be more content with what we have. 

This week we have been working a lot with obtaining references from everybody. Its a lot of fun to do actually, to think of all of the new and creative ways to ask for references. I´d say that pretty much all of the people that we talk to in a day dont want anything to do with us... which is fine, its part of being a missionary, but ´Who else do you know that could recieve a message from us?´ Who do you know that was recieving the missionaries before? Who do you not like that we could go and bug? ha there are a million ways to obtain references, and these references are sacred. Its the way to find the people that the Lord is preparing. 

I dont like spending time with well established active members. They are not really good for much... well they are great, but a little bit sleepy sometimes. We spend almost all our ´member time´ with the less active members and recent converts. I love working with these people. Their testimony is so pure and fresh and sincere. Every member of the church is less acive in something... so I guess we are all less active members. I love the scriptire in alma 4:4, that explains the way to help make a Real Growth in the church. Here in this area especially I have learned a ton about the Church of Jesus Christ,  the way that the only true chruch really works and what it needs to keep filling the earth. I have enjoyed it immensly. 

Anyways, we are happy and healthy. I know that this is the work of God, and that we are lead by Jesus Christ himself in his church here in the world. I love Uruguay. They are some of the best people in the world... and their national anthem and flag are better than the USA.

Vamo arriba!!

weekly letter

foto - Thanks for the package! it is awesome... I was really tired when I took the picture, so I look half asleep.. The tie I am wearing is the one I wear every P'day. It was given to me by an investigator who died about 3 days before her baptism, so its my special tie. 

I am so excited right now! This has been an excelent week. General Conference is one of the favorite times on the mission for me. It is pure proof that the churhch of Jusus Crist of Latter day Saints is the only true churhc on the face of the earth. If every single person in the world watched it, they would all be members. Who could possibly not feel the spirit when President Holland or Oaks talks... For me at least every time one of the apostols talked the spirit burned into my heart a testimony that they really are Holy Apostles of the lord. The ´do you love me´ talk by president Holland is especially special to me because on my first dayof the mission we saw it. He had given the same talk in the MTC in provo. And then I got it on a dvd and have watched it every single p'day of my mission. Also, the talk by elder Oaks really touched me... well i think everyone. 

Also I was able to fully enjoy conference becaused we had 4 investigators that went and absolutely loved it. They all went to the sunday morning session (which in my opinion was the best one of them all), and all came out wanting to get baptized and stop smoking and get married and everything. That is a pure testimony of the power of the spirit to conversion. 

Also we are all very excited by the announcement of the change in mission age. The work of the Lord NEEDS more reenforcements... In our mission for example less missionaries have been coming each month, and we have had to close a few areas. So everyone is super excited... it will be interesting to see how this changes Mormon Culture. 

Pleased pray for Gabriela who is going to be baptized this week, but needs to stay firm in her not smoking. 

Thank you all for your examples and support. 

Remember that the worth of souls is great in the sight of the lord... even though the soal of my shoe is pretty much flapping around like an Uruguayan roof in a wind storm. 

...oh, also, we had interviews witht he presisdent this week that was really good. I love my president, and know that he has been called of god to serve here. He has got the mission going strong. 

Elder wilson.

This has been a great week! Me and my companion Elder Looney have been
working Super diligently to do every thing we can in order to get the
spirit. We have been thinking a lot about what it really means to
serve the Lord with all our "heart, might, mind, and strength". Its
one of the first scriptures that we learn as a missionary, but its the
scripture that takes the most time to come to understand what it
really means. After almost a year and a half of being a full time
missionary, I have had a lot of experiences and examples... good and
bad... that have helped me learn what it means, and I am still really
far off from mastering it. But I know that the Lord really does
require ALL of our entire being to serve him, if we want to recieve
the full meaure of his spirit in our service.

I am so greatful to be with a comanionship where we mutalmente are
helping eachother to give ourselves up unto god.

Our zone is doing great. We ended the month of september with 20
baptisms in 9 areas, which is the highest number that our zone has had
in a long time. So we are content with that. Its good to see all of
the hard work pay off with the local leaders and everything... Haha
Ive got a little feeling that I am going to be here a long time
because of things that President Armstrong has said, and also the
stake President told President Armstrong to keep us here for as long
as possible.. But hey, Im not complaining. I love the area and ward..,
Its like ammon who desired to be in the area "maybe even untill the
day I die.

I am healthy and happy. Also its possible that we have a baptism this
week! We have an investigador who is ready for baptism in everything
except for stoping smoking. So if she stops, she gets baptized. Prey
for Gabriela please!

I want to send pictures, but this computer will freeze if I do, so
next week I will.

Also, I am super excited for General Conference this weekend! Like Ive
said before, for the missionaries, General Conference is better than
Cristmas!

And dont stop writing me :)

Elder Wilson

a storm, a drawing, and a new email address

*** attention all those who write me! urumontemission@gmail.com is an email of the mission where you can write me and they print it off. So, if you dont want to write the oldschool way, you can email me... but remember that a hand written letter is always the  best.

 

 

My desk. This is where I spend a few hours each day. Its really puney, but its a nice desk. Those post it notes are quots from the scriptures and the prophets that are really good.

 

A picture that I drew this one pday when I didnt have anything else to do.

 

So, this week has been a really good week for us. Even though most of our investigators are having a hard time progressing, we kept on working hard, knowing that if we do our part, the Lord would do his. And, like every time, the Lord pulled through and sent us 2 new investigators to chruch on sunday who just showed up on their own. :)

 

It has been really good to be able to see the progress of Edison, who got baptized a month ago, and is now more active that anyone else in the ward. He really is a one in a misson type of convert. Yesterday we went out to work with him and just pretty much let him bear his testimony and let the Spirit touch the hearts of the people. It helped me remember just how unimportant our words are if we do not say them with our hearts... that remindes me of an awesome Mormon message that is of the talk by Elder Holland about playing within the lines. Everyone should watch it.

 

Oh, also, this week on wednesday there was a super strong storm that blew through here and pretty much tore up the whole country. President told us all to stay in the house for the day to be safe, but then the next day when we went out all of the roofs were gone or broken, and a ton of trees had fallen down and everything. It was a cool experience to see all of that, and to spend a ton of time doing service to help the people rebuild.

 

This week I have been thinking a lot about the counels of Alma to his son Coriantón, when he counsels him to allow his sins to sorrow him enough to repent of them, and not to try to cover them up or excuse them. It is really easy to excuse a sin in the mind, so I will be working harder to feel Godly sorrow for my problems, even if they are not big things, and change them.

 

Anyways, I am happy and healthy. Thanks for everything.

sleeping in church buildings, or, how to improvise a baptism

the baptism. Juana is the first on the left. 

This week was one of the craziest weeks of my mission! Ill do my best to try and explain some of the things that happened. So, we had stake conference this weekend, and for missonaries that is kind of bad news just because its complicated to get all of the investigators and recent converts to the stake center, because here in Uruguay almost nobody has a way of transport more than a car. After the stake conference we had planned a service bautismal with the stake leaders, so we were really excited for that. But the stress was that saturday night and untill midday on sunday the public watersystem was going to be shut off for repares. that was a really stressful problem because that means that you cant fill the baptismal font! So we had to think and prey a lot to figure out what we could do to be able to get this baptismal service to work. In the end we decided (with permission of the mission and stake presidint) to stay the night in the chruch to be able to fill the font up so that it would be full of hot water before the time that theyshut the water off. So, for the first time in my life I spent the night in the chruch. It was a really weird experience.Then the next morning we spent the time filling big pots with water, boiling it, and throwing it into the font to try to keep it warm. In the end, it all turned out nice, and 6 people got baptized in a great servicio bautismal that was presided by the Stake President and everything. It was a great progress in our relationship with the local leaders here. 

The person that got baptized from our ward was Juana, an older lady who had been investigating before, but stopped because her family decided to go against our church. Most of her family are of the Macumba religion, a weird devil worshiping religion. But it was great to see the change in heart of her family, who now support her in everything, and a few of them are even listening to the misionary lessons. I guess its true that where there is light, there is not darkness. 

The Stake conference was broadcasted from Salt Lake to Uruguay and Paraguay. It was presided by Pte. Monson, with Elder Anderson and Elder Gonzales of the 70 (who is Uruguayo). It really was an awesome stake conference, and I think that we got a bit of a sneak peak into General conference in a couple weeks. 

Anyways, I am doing really good and am happy. The change calls came last night and I will be staying here in this area with my companion, as expected. I love working here with him,its lots of fun. 

Thanks for all of your prayers! Pray for us to be able to find those who are kept from the truth only because they know not where to find it. 

Elder Wilson

spring is here and Covey is getting thin

So this has been an awesome week. I am really content with what we are
seeing in the zone and area. All the hard work that we have been doing
with the Stake leaders and bishops is really peying off. We have been
meeting with all them about once a week to work out some problems, and
everything is working out good.

I am enjoying my time in my area 100%. My companion is awesome and we
have the same vision (proverbs 29:18) and are working like crazy. This
might be one of the moments in my mission that I have worked hardest,
and the level of spirituality and miricles has gone up. "if a
missionary wants to get the spirit, he must work his head off" Elder
scott. Ive learned over these last 15 monthes that that is true.

We are teaching this investigador Eloisa who came looking for us
because one of her old friends who is way inactive said to her "if you
want help, go to the mormons. its the only way", so she came, and will
get baptized on sunday.

we have doubled the number of lessons with members too, and that has
guiven us a lot of trust from the ward, and helps our investigadors
progress.

one scripture that I have used a lot this week is in philipians 3:13
(i think its called philipians in english.... but maybe filosans or
something...) where paul teaches us about how to move along with the
vision set in goals.

I wanted to send pictures, but my computer wont let me... sorry. But
im really thin just so ya know..

Also, FINALLY SPRING IS HERE!!! thats exciting.

I love you all, and pray for you... when I remember to. its sometimes
hard to pray for all of the things that you should. especially when
its 12000 miles away. but sometimes I remember that there are people
outside of the mission who I should pray for.

Alma 26:12.

Keep the mail coming!

974 - The 3 empanadas that won the ward activity contest that we did.

970 - in the front passage way we put up tables with a lot of folletos and books and everything about the church.

967 - A picture of me and my companion in front of the baptismal font with Edison. He is the best, most converted convert I have ever had in the misison.

 

This was a really good week. on wednesday we had a really good multi-zone conference with Elder Viñas, who is a member of the quorum of the 70. It was a really great experience to be instructed by someone who understands the chruch so perfectly and the gospel. To see him was an example of how I would like my life to be... not that I have ambitions to become a 70 member or anything, but just to guive up your whole life to service. Also, he did a couple interviews with a few missionaries, and I got interviewed by him. That was a really awesome experience. he commited me in the name of the Lord and by command of Pte. Monson to keep going styrong in the mission, get married ASAP after the mission, then at an early age retire and devote my whole life to service in the lord. It really was a really spiritual experience... It always seems to be the mission presidents and other general authorities that always are talking about the importance of marriage and family and everything haha. They are always trying guive us the challange to keep our minds in the mission too :) Its a bit ironic sometimes. So I just do my best to not be trunky. D&C 4:5-6 "...con la mira puesta unicamente en la gloria de Dios lo califican para la obra."

 

Also, we had a really good activity in the ward on Friday. Since the ward is pretty sleepy, and nothing ever happens, we decided to plann a ward activity every 2 weeks. The first time only about 10 people came, then 15 trhen 20, and at this last one, 60 people came! It was a big sucess, and I think it is helping to strengthen our trust relationship with them, and inspiring them to participate in the missionary work. For example, last sunday, 2 investigadors just showed up with the members without us even begging them for references.

 

Also, Edison got confirmed. He is honestly the best convert that you could ever ask for. It makes me so happy to see him and his change in life and everything. He encourages me to keep on being a better missonary.

 

To all those who have sent mail recently (last 2 ish mnothes) there still is an international mail boycot here, so it probly hasnt come. But keep on sending it anyways! Missonaries love their mail :)

 

Anyways, thanks  for everything.

with the oficinistas
