hey family and friends!!!! How’s life in the states!!! this week has been good, we have been working with a few people but we are in the process of looking for prospective baptisms. we are working with a really cool couple who lost their baby in march to some strange sickness and we have been having some really powerful lessons with them. Sometimes, i am amazed at peoples humble testimonies and i am never tired of seeing just how amazing is the plan of salvation. Man, it’s just such a powerful doctrine of you think about it!! i love being a missionary. they say if you like being a missionary, you’ll like the celestial kingdom, but if you don’t, then don’t bother shooting for it. well, luckily i LOVE this work and i can really see how it makes me happy. i have a different love in my heart than i have ever had, and it’s a cool feeling. just seeing others happy literally makes me heart swell. i guess i was pretty selfish bofore this, and i am glad i have seen a little light. i will keep working on that part of me...hehe
so this week we are also starting choir practice for the christmas choir!! if singing christmas songs doesn’t make you baggy i don’t know WHAT will. but i am excited to spend christmas in senahu, because the people there are gold and i really want to spend it with them. pray that i don’t get a change for my last six weeks.
so we are planning a really big activity on the 20th, where we are having a big cultural night in the city hall, the branch is putting it on, with traditional dances, choir singing, and all kinds of presentations. and the missionaries are putting on the first vision. we are doing it like two missionaries and telling the story of joseph smith and the others are acting it all out on the side. and guess who gets to teach... ahhh me and my comp!! yeah, so i will be teaching the restoration to the whole town pretty much. if i ever had desires to be like alma or amulek or ammon teaching an entire city, this is it!! heheh wish me luck because believe it or not i am KINDA nervous....but that’s exciting this week. and tomorrow is zone conference, which i love because it like, always gets me jazzed up and enthused about the work. ahhh i love it here. so just so you all know i am well, and i am happy. AND i am still eating lots of caldo. the other day we were looking for a few references and we got kinda lost on this muddy path in the jungle pretty much, and then we suddenly came out and saw a house, so we went to ask them if they knew the people we were looking for and they were all in there having a caldo party to celebrate the harvest. so without even knowing their names, they invited us in and insisted that we eat caldo with them. ahhh gold. it was like the kings feast, and totally by accident. they gave us caldo, we gave them a message about a living prophet. too bad i think they were more interested in the caldo...oh well. it was an interesting day anyhoo.
well i love you all.
