Hey guys, glad to hear that
you all had a good week and that you were able to celebrate the birthdays of
Josh and Bella! This has been an awesome pday cause we went to a little park as
a zone outside of the city which has a lake and open fields and beaches and we
just played sports and explored a little bit and had a cute little picnic. It
was really fun and Elder Bentley and I were both feeling a little bit
reminiscent of a nice Utah mountain outing, but it was still really fun! It was
crazy for us as well because while we were out there I got a call from
President Smith to talk to my companion and it turns out that he has received
the revelation to have Elder Bentley be the next mission financier! Crazy right?
It just threw our worlds upside down because we still have two more weeks until
changes, but we already know what he is doing! I am most likely going to be
staying here now again with a new comp, but we will just have to see what
happens, at least we get to finish this change together still. Elder Bentley is
definitely prepared for that, and he is going to help them out so much
there.
On
the other side of the week, we had an awesome week, even though we lost a
working day traveling to Montevideo. We left at midnight Wednesday, arrived in
Deo at 8, had a three hour conference with the other mission as well from both
presidents, Elder Cabrera of the seventy, and Elder Craig Christensen of the
presidency of the seventy. It was an awesome conference and I really received a
lot of instruction and help that I have been needing to be able to help
some of our investigators. After the conference we mingled a bit with the other
missionaries, great to see a lot of good friends, introduced my boy to his
grandpa, and then we got a really nice sack lunch and got back on the bus for
the seven hour ride home! Super tired for a couple of days, not much sleep on
the bus, but definitely worth it!
This
week we also saw a bunch of other miracles as well! There is a family
that is just starting to reactivate themselves again for the first time in years,
and they have an awesome 11 year old son that we are working with that wants to
get baptized, and the daughters of our bishop are bringing a friend as well
that has come to church multiple times and that we have family nights with to
help teach her and familiarize her with the church, and there are soo many
investigators that we have right now that I feel like are sooo close to making
it. We invite so many to come, but in the end, albedrio beats us out sometimes.
Won't get us down at all, so we just keep moving on!!
I
love you guys so much and I LOVE THIS WORK!! Thank you so much for everything
that you do, I love you guys!!!!
