Dia de Gracias - Sister Pack (11/19/12 Letter)


Hi family!

So this week has been a great week here in Formosa! We have been working hard! It has been hot as ever but I just keep counting my blessings that it isn’t enero yet... hahaha.  That is when it is going
to get really really hot... So this week we had divisions and I was with Hermana Parker again! It was sooo much fun and seriously I can’t believe the Lord has blessed me with so many awesome companions in my
mission. I learned so much from her when we had our transfer in Resistencia, and she continues to surprise me. We ate crapes and chocolate milk for old times.  That was always our breakfast in Barrio
IV. lol.

On Monday we made a peach cobbler and it turned out so good! I was actually proud of myself and I am happy that por fin (finally) I am learning how to cook! The only problem is they are all Argentine meals where we can’t find ingredients in the states... uh oh. lol. but grateful that I finally have the ganas to learn.  I guess it’s what happens when you don’t have your mom with you!

Yoselin will be getting baptized this week and Yadira is progressing a lot also. The other week we had a really spiritual moment. Back ground story of Yadira is that her husband is adventista. He didn’t want anything to do with us because of the Book of Mormon.  But one day he brought Yadira to the church and we invited him in.  Ok basically pushed him in and did a tour.  The spirit was really strong and he loved the church.  He left and we thought... at least he had a good experience and will help his wife now.  But it gets better.  Hermana Yadira was praying at the end that if this is the correct church that she would like to see a change in her husband.  Guess what... 10 minutes later he came with his cousins and basically was a better missionary than us.

God lives and answers prayers. I couldn’t believe my eyes.  I couldn’t believe what was happening.  A man who wouldn’t even say hello to us now is meeting and learning and feeling the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. We also ate in their home the other night empanadas de Colombia! SO GOOD
reminds me of tamales from Mexico. AND HOT SAUCE! I haven’t had anything hot in ages and it was absolutely amazing! It made me miss Mexican food a lot!  Mayones just isn’t the same like hot sauce with
tacos... lol.

But things are great and in honor of dia de gracias I want to just say I am so grateful for the gospel and the way the Lord has been shaping my life in the last year. I cannot believe how much love the Lord has shown me.  Well, that is all.

Love you all!
Hermana Pack
