Hey fam! How
is everyone?? Wow I`ve been anxious all week to know if the baby had come, but
this week for sure! And to hear about ANOTHER baby coming in the family! Congrats
Scott and Maureah! And Laura engaged too! Wow so much exciting news! I wish I
had something as exciting to share. Haha. It`s been a good week. Eva and her daughters
Thamar and Chantel are still progressing very quickly. They all came to church
on Sunday. The husband Martin still hasn`t been able to come for his work. He
does the music for parties so the weekends are crazy. But we`re hoping one day
he`ll be able to come. We were waiting a little to find out if he would
progress as quickly as Eva but it doesn`t seem like it. So we`re just going to
put a baptismal date and see what happens in the following weeks. A guy in the
branch got home from his mission this week. 1 more priesthood holder in the
branch! Yay! But our mission leader Nene just sent his papers in so we`ll be
losing one too. :( We had a few great lessons this week. One with a lady in the
ward about the Spirit. She`s super awesome and comes to church every week, but
she had a baby out of wedlock recently and there hasn`t been any disciplinary
action yet. She opened up to us completely and is scared to do everything
necessary to be excommunicated, but we told her it was better to start the year
now and not later. She really has a desire to change. She had an interview
yesterday with the branch president. We also had a lesson with a lady and her
husband about marriage. It`s hard to teach about something you know nothing
about, but thanks to mom and dad I`ve had a great example so I could give some
advice. We found out that they never say I love you to each other. Literally
never. Her husband says he doesn`t like to say it. Like it doesn`t flow out in
the right moment or something. lol. But we encouraged them to try to start
doing it to have a better relationship. Really any marriage would have problems
if no one showed affection. We also met a new guy this week named Alexis. He`s
the cousin of Nene (mission leader). He`s super awesome and really interested.
He was in a motorcycle accident over a year ago and couldn`t walk for 7 months.
He still can`t walk barely at all. But he has the perfect attitude. He could
say that God did that to him, but he thinks of it as God gave him a second
chance and now he wants to serve him. But the only problem is that he has no
way to get to church. He can`t go in motorcycle or bus. He would have to have
someone come and get him in a car. Well... we have one single person in the
church with a car... our branch president. But it`s a huge truck that`s used to
haul stuff so to get in it would be super difficult. I don`t know what to do.
But hopefully we think of something. He has a lot of potential. So we had quite
an experience the other day. We were walking to an appointment and on the side
of the road we found 10 brand new puppies abandoned!! It was so sad. We went
and bought them milk, but we couldn`t just leave them there!! They were
shivering and were so new they couldn`t even see yet. So we put them all in a
box and found someone to take them to a vet. One nice woman that passed by,
took one though. :) I hope they all find families! Well we planned the activity
with Emily and Johan again for this Friday to watch the Restoration. And
Saturday we have our big missionary activity! Sadly only 2 members will be
getting certificates, but a lot of people participated. They just didn`t
complete all the requirements. But it will be fun! Everyone is bringing a plate
of their favorite food and we`ll have dominoes and volleyball. I`m excited.
Hopefully lots of nonmembers come too! Well that`s about it. So excited to hear
about my new nephew next week! And see pictures!! ;) I love you all!
