Hola Familia!
I have very little
time to write so it will be short but thank you all for the letters! I got your
blessing spencer and i{m going to read it during the week. Mom good luck with
your teeth. Dad keep up the good work with everything. Lindy you look and it
sounds like you are having fun- me alegra muchisimo! Cutler put the nose to the
grindstone (as dad would say (That always bugged me =)=)=)=) and keep rockin the
pool- youre the man!
But this week was a
great week. It was a little bit slow because of all the fiestas that everyone
does with the Independence day but it was good. On Saturday there was a big
activity in the Stake Center that was awesome. There were some games and
contests and I won one with a sister from my ward. But then there was a show
after with traditional Chilean dances that all the wards did and my ward ROCKED
the show! They were the BEST! It was awesome. All the missionaries were there
and it was so much fun!
Sunday was great
because Olga Aries (the dominicana) was baptized! It was such a great
experience. She is the best. She has been SO prepared and I know that Heavenly
Father led us to her. I was thinking about it the other day, because we met her
in a street contact. And where she lives, we pass by all the time. But I had
never seen Olga in the street before the contact or since then. There was the
one chance. And if we hadn´t contacted her, then she wouldn´t have been baptized
and wouldn´t have been able to receive this great blessing. So that thought
really opened my eyes to how important it is to open our mouths. We have to talk
with EVERYONE. If we don´t there are people that could have accepted the gospel
that won´t get the chance to do so. But the baptism was great.
Then on Monday we had
a ward activity that started at 9 and ended at 10. ALL day long! But it was
fantastic! It was so much fun. We left the activity for a while and looked for
an internet cafe to write home but EVERYTHING was closed! Everything has really
been shut down since monday until today. They go crazy here, but its kind of
cool. Apart from the alcohol I like the fiestas that they do and they have some
great BBQs.
But I{m doing well,
things have been a bit slow these past few days but they are goign to start
picking up again here soon. Thanks for the prayers and letters and everything
that you do for me. I love you all so much!
Love,
Elder Jaromy
