Well this week has been really busy! and really really really hot. It´s like Vegas with humidity….awesome right!? lol. A bit more about Formosa. So as you know, I know live in the city of Formosa which is kind of true but not really for me. To email you guys, we take a bus an hour in! Insane right! Most of the streets here are dirt and lots more horses in this area. The President of the branch and his wife are amazing! The branch is amazing too! I hurt my ankle the other day and people were bringing us food galore! They are really kind here!
We are working hard in this area right now because things have to be fixed between the missionaries and members. However the awesome noticia for this week is that we have a baptism!! Amazing right! Our investigator is Carlos and he is in his 70s…he is solid!! The best way to describe him is ready. He understands the gospel so well! It´s amazing!!! One of his answers to our question ¨How can you continue to live the Word of Wisdom?¨ was teach others about it!!! Amazing right! I don´t have pictures of the new pension, but I will work on that. I am sending some pictures of Christmas and with a turtle! Hope you guys enjoy. This is a pet here! It lives in the house! Awesome right! lol. Oh, some sad news I received during my interview with president was my first convert Leo passed away this week. I was way sad however he now has accepted the gospel and can continue to learn. I hope everything is ok with Tyler I haven´t heard from him or received his emails in a month. One thing I have learned here in my mission that I am going to cherish my whole life is prayer. I never understood prayer before my mission but now that I am surrounded only by Spanish, I feel lonely at times and this is the time I find the most solace in praying. I hope everyone reads the General Conference talk from President Monson. He talks about his relationship with God through prayer and I now know we all can have that relationship not just the prophet! I hope everyone has an AMAZING WEEK!
PS. Tell Grams thank you for the watch. It has saved me. My other one broke!!! ahhh!!!
