Hey guys! How is it going? Sounds
like you guys have been having fun with baseball and movies and everything!!
And hey Sophie, your braces look good!!
This week has been good! We had my
first zone meeting on Tuesday and I think
it went really well! We were able to talk about the stuff that president wanted
us to talk about and there were some really good comments made from some of the
other elders and sisters in the zone! I learned so much from them and realized I
have a lot to work on! The zone is great!!
This week we were contacted by a
returned missionary from Utah. He served here 2 years ago and had returned to
visit the people he taught. He wanted to come out with us for a day and do
visits with us. It was pretty cool to work with him! He speaks super well and
we really enjoyed the surprise visit. He was fun to be with.
Safety is a major concern in our
zone. It is a pretty dangerous area, especially at night. So, as missionaries
in this zone, we are being very careful and smart about the streets we walk on
and who we talk to after dark.
One of the highlights this week has
been teaching! We are teaching a couple with a 1 one year old girl that
has down syndrome- and man, she is the
cutest little girl that I have ever seen! Haha! She is awesome! And man, the
couple are awesome people!!!! They are going to get married to be baptized!! Yesterday
was the dedication of the temple here in Cordoba, but they weren’t able to go, and they said they
were sad because they wanted to go to church this Sunday!! I love see them receive what we teach and then
actually follow through and do things to gain a testimony!
We are also teaching a man named G
and he is super awesome too! He is separated from his wife and has 2 girls. He
is fully engaged in the teaching and readily accepts everything. He is super
attentive during our visits and it is the coolest experience to teach him!! He
has a baptismal date set for June 13th. I am pretty excited!! We
have some more we are teaching but these are the ones that are super prepared
and super awesome!!
Another highlight this week was the
dedication of the Cordoba temple yesterday. I loved being able to watch and to
be part of it. Elder Uchdorf did the dedication in English and his words were translated
into Spanish. It was awesome to be able to understand both languages!!!
I love you guys! Thanks for everything!
