July 9, 2012

Oi família!

Everything is going good here in Cruz Alta.


The work is moving foward. Unfortunately, all of our appointments with Tanha fell through this week. We´ll know if she´ll get baptized (or cut from the teaching group) this week.


This week we had a zone conference this week. It was a great conference. Presidente taught about all the great examples of missionaries in the scriptures and in church history. I really like the story of Wilford Woodruff. He was baptizing so many people that the cops came to arrest him, and then he baptized them. Then some other cops came and he baptized them 2. There were also 2 "spys" from another church. He baptized them too. Talk about power.


It sounds like the family is doing well. It´s hard to believe that it´s summer other there because it´s starting to get super cold right now. haha



This week me and my companion bought a huge "xis" which is kind of like a huge hamurger with a ton of stuff on it. (egg, chicken hearts, etc.)


Oh Happy 4th of July!


On the 4th of July we were invited to go to an english class to talk about our independence day. We accepted and it turned out pretty well haha. We taught what happened and said that this resulted in religious liberty. We then taught about the restoration. It was really cool.


I hope that everything is going well in AZ!

PS I think i need some more socks, and some more hair gel. If we have "The Great Apostasy", "the miracle of forgiveness", or any other good books like that I would love to read it.

Oi Familia!!!

Im soo tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We´ve been working really hard this week, this seems liked the first time I stopped all week. My new companion and I have been getting along well.


As a district leader have have to follow up with all the missionaries and their goals, do splits, motivate, serve. I like talking to all the missionaries and getting ideas from them. We have a district meeting every week. Last week we talked a little about the importance of investigators going in the sacrament meeting. It´s been fun.


That sounded like a great family reunion. Let me know how 4th of  July goes.


We´re teaching one lady called Tanha. Shes progressing very well. She accepted baptism and this week we are going to mark a date.


Have a great week!
