Wow! the winter time has come, and it has come hard! It is very
cold here, with a lot of rain and cold. I am so thankful for my winter clothes:
rain boots, pants, scarf, gloves and jazz stocking hat. I use all of it all the
time to try to stay warm. It is also nice with a good fire that we have to get
dry. This week was also a fun one on Wednesday night we had a power outage at
about 9 o´clock in the night, while we were teaching a lesson. That was fun. So we finished with a prayer and walked to our house in the dark, and had to do
everything that night with candle light, it was an interesting time, it made me
think of all of the power outages that we have had in our houses haha, the
lights ended up coming back on in the middle of the night. We were able to have
a nice little fire going as well.
This week in church we hit a high of 35 people that
attended, with 8 of them being inactive. A family of 4 came back after
years. We have been working with them a lot. This branch is an intersting
challenge for me because I feel that I am having to divide my time between the branch
and the investigators. I help with tithing, presidency meeting, and ward council and whatever else needs to be done. I realize that we are helping to build this unit up. This week in church, i had the opportunity to conduct sacrament meeting. I have
never done that before. I think that I will be giving a couple talks this
next month as well.
Happy July 4th to everyone, especially my parents
who are both celebrating their birthdays, and to the birthday of America. I
hope everyone has a great 4th and enjoys the fireworks. I look forward to celebrating it with you the next year.
FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS PAPA!!!!!!!!
Espero que disfrutes patinando por tu cumpleaños y que lo cumplas
feliz,

PS, there is a sister here, who we have been helping to
reactivate, she is so sweet, she lives alone, she called us this morning to
tell us gracias (Thank-you) for all that we have done, and then said something
like May God Bless you. I thought, in a year, it
was the first time that someone has called us just to say thank-you, who
doesn't need something. I hope that we can do things like that to people. It sure made our day, and it can make the days of everyone else, the
missionaries, the people who we home teach, or anybody that we serve, lets have
a grateful attitude to everyone who helps us.
