Week 69

Haupei Yall!

Happy Things! 

1. We had divisions with the hermana lideres this week! I love my cute lil Hermana Slade...long lost best friend that I am so grateful will be back at BYU with me next year! 

2. For our district meeting this -week the elders made us pancakes with real maple syrup!!! SO YUMMY! I love our little family.

3. We have a super sweet investigator, Ovidio, who came to conference last week with members, is reading the BOM, AND came to church yesterday in a SUIT AND TIE! We are so proud and excited for this future missionary :)

4. DIONISIO GOT BAPTIZED!!! cutest story. he showed up for his baptism and confirmation the next day AN HOUR EARLY. He was so ready. And our district leader told us coming out of his interview that this man wants nothing to do with sin, he wants to be as far away as possible. It was the best feeling in the world seeing a true convert be baptized! 

5. Now this one is not so happy, but with the plan of salvation there is hope. My convert, Elias, his mom was found murdered this past week. It is a very, very sad situation as she was a single mom and the kids are all still so young, but I will never forget her love, her devotion to her children and the church, and for being one of the people I will always remember as an angel in my life. Please pray for this family! 

One of my favorite talks from conference: I love the idea of patient covenant keeping!

Week 68

Haupei Yall! 

Happy Things! 

1. We had zone conference this week! Pres Evans and the APs drove out to us *8 hours* and we spent the whole day with them! Highlight> ¨*The act of faith is to put and follow through with plans to achieve your goal* 

2. Pres Evans while he was here met with Dionisio! Its official! He is getting baptized this saturday! keep him in your prayers. 

3. We teach our lessons with translators...its actually way cool. We know some guarani, but to help our investigators have a complete understanding we HAVE to rely on the members and their help! 

4. GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS BOMB! It was so uplifiting and I cannot wait to have more time to study and listen to all of it. My favorites were definitely Jeffery R Holland, David Bednar, and W Christopher Waddell talks. Go look them up on lds.org! I will be downloading as much as I can to keep listening at home, that is for sure. 

All my love and condolences to the Hainsworth family. Chris was a light in my life and always treated me as one of his own. I will miss him a lot, but know that he has returned back to our Heavenly Father.
