This week flew by and to be honest I feel really old! My knees
hurt but guess what! It does not really matter! Because I enjoy the mission so
much! This week we had a great conference with president, we taught a new
family and we had a bunch of people come to church! We also taught so many
people! Being a busy missionary is the best because I just feel like I am the Lords
servant, and the Lord has a busy Schedule! I’m so happy for the Book of Mormon!
It’s such a powerful tool to help us become better!
So the knees do hurt, they make that crackling sound now, I feel
like I’m seriously becoming like my mom, stair climbing with my knees and
ankles popping ha-ha but I love the good workout and I know that the Lord has
sent me here because he has something planned for me! We are teaching three family’s
and to be honest its really tiring, I love teaching Young family’s, but trying
to teach and listen to screaming children that run around and throw things is
really hard to do. Don’t get me wrong, I’m
not saying that the spirit leaves, the contrary, the spirit is always there
when children are present, they give the best answers and parents always feel
like they need to help their children. When
we teach the plan of salvation its the best when little kids are running around,
its the eternal perspective of the family! Why would I ever wish to teach a
lesson like that without the kids present! That would be foolish!
The H. family is doing well, Karen is fighting the smoking addiction
and I hope she can make it! She is smoking 4 every day, but she was
smoking like 20, so I have the faith Her
kids are the best and to see them all at church is awesome! Juan Manuel, who
has a walking problem, went up with Nortia and they sang in the primary
program! It was so awesome and it moved everyone to tears to see Juan Manuel
walk back to his mom smiling. It was the
icing on top of the cake for my Sunday.
They are progressing and they are all dying to be baptized. It all depends on Karen, if she quits smoking
then they all get baptized, if not then they don’t, for now, but they can do
it! Lets go Herrera family!
The S. family is the family who are the most prepared to get baptized. Daniel was a Jehovah witness before and he is
very happy and ready to be baptized! His son Jorge is the funniest dude in the world;
he loves soccer so much that it makes me like soccer even more! They are firmly
set on getting baptized and we are getting ready for their baptism. They don’t want to be baptized in front of a bunch
of people "the 29 is stake conference" and our mission president will
be there so it would be sweet to baptize 6 people! They are very happy-
We are also teaching the F. family, they are the best and the
kids have all beem baptized, but the mom and dad no, why? Hahaha thats what I thought
as well but then we found out that they had to divorce their other spouses
before getting married to each other. But
they believe in everything and they accepted a baptism date for the 13 of Dec.
Vamos Valpo!
Really
guys I love teaching family’s, I hope that every day the family may be a part
of your lives, keep striving to be the best you may be!
