Hello family, thanks for the updates. sounds like Grandma has had an interesting few weeks, what a trooper. I'm praying for her and Jocelyn, send them my love....but in Spanish please.
This past week was great, we were able to go to another conference in Chiclayo, for new missionaries and their trainers. It was great, they emphasized the importance of our gospel study on this 12 week program, and as missionaries in general. As we usually do, we came back with the fire to study like never before haha. I was able to apply it to just being a member of the church too, funny enough, and how important our gospel study is. In doctrine and covenants it says ¨A man cannot be saved in ignorance¨. That's pretty clear. We have to learn ALL we can here in this life, in school, life, the gospel. I imagine that we will never stop learning, might as well get used to liking it right? But, even better than Liking it....Loving it. Learning, its pretty important.
At a baptism we had this weekend, we were able to learn some patience with the members. From Saipan I was able to be exposed to it, and here its pretty bad, its like Mormon Standard Time, times 3. Our investigator Gloria (one of the best investigators ever) arrived on time with some of her non member family, but the thing was....the members were a little very late. In the end the baptism was awesome, lots of people, support, but yeah....almost perfect, we are going to work on that :)
I was told that a package arrived for me, so I´ll get that tomorrow, THANKS! in advance. And please thank Nana for me!
We have transfers next week so I´ll keep you updated! Love you all!
