sanford indians!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))))))))
Wow! Let me just
tell you that this weekend i was doing my exercise, and all of sudden i
thought, "whoa! Tonight is the championship night for basketball..."
and from that moment on, i forgot hahahahahahahaha its crazy how different the
thoughts are when im not right in the middle of basketball! But i am so excited
and proud!!! Of both chance and ember!! You guys really showed you heart and
your love the game!!!! :) congrats!!!!!!!!
Well my week was
a good one! But also kinda hard! Tuesday my comp got sick with this new
sickness that is going around, chikinguya! Its kinda like denguea..but
different! Well she was really sick this week so she couldnt work too much! We
couldnt find sisters who could leave with me and stay with her too much! So our
work was a little slow! But we did see miralces! Everyday i was able to leave
with a sister to work at least 2 hours in the area! It is a lot less than
normal..but we were able to do it!!:) but last night i was giving the dats for
the week to my district leader, and i was a little bummber because they were
low! But he asked me, "hermana, do you feel the lord is pleased with the
work you did this week?" and i answered, "not really, our dats are
super low!" and then he said, "do you feel your investigators are
increasing their faith in christ?" "yeah.." "do you feel
they are starting to repent of their sins?" "the majority.."
"ok, now i will ask again, do you feel the lord is please with the work
you did this week?" "yes :)" that really helped me! I know that
the mission isnt about numbers, but i was feeling kinda down! But after talking
with him, i felt a lot better! Its true! We are here to help people increase
their faith in jesus crhist! If we help them do that, they we are successful
and the lord is pleased! There is always more we can do, but we arent doing
this work alone!!! :)
Also this week we
did a bunch of service projects! Friday we went with the other sisters to help
an investigator build his house! But we really just watched the elders dig a
big a hole and we made fresco! :) hahahaha but saturday we helped!! We went up
into the mountains (like 30 minutes in a taxi) to help haul wood for an
investigator of some elders! Let me tell you...the guatemalans are rockstars!!
They carry the wood on their heads and backs! And its insane! But it was great
to help him! He said that the amount that we hauled would have taken a whole
day to do! And we did it in less than 2 hours! The people here are so humble
and dont ask for help much! So it was great to be able to help them anyway!! :)
also..i hope you like the pics! :) my camera doesnt do guatemala justice, but
believe me, its beautiful!!!! :)
So something i
learned yesterday in church, (sorry its in spanish..google translate lol)
"el testimonio es una de las pocas posesiones que podemos llevar con
nosotros al dejar esta vida!" it says that our testimony is one of the
only things we can take with us when we leave this life! That means that we
need to first, have a testimony!!! Also, that we need to work everyday to make
it strong! If the only thing we have to go on is our testimony in the next
life, it better have a lot of battery life!!!! :) so thats our challenge this
week canty family! (and bradley family, and biergier..ha sorry for the
spelling..family!) Strengthen our testimonies!!!!!! :)
I love you all so
much and am so glad you are my family! You are such a strength to me and i hope
you feel my love!!!!!:) good luck with every thing this week and hopefully you
can all make it to spring break ;)
Con amor,
Hermana
