*Note from Mom: Because she has to type so fast and has a limited time to write, Kendall has asked me to edit her posts before posting them to her blog each week. Today however, I thought I would leave the letter "as is" due to her funny quip near the end of the letter. :)
Hey hey hey!! It's me again! and the
weeks are still going super well! We seem to always fit into the mary poppins
bag style busses, the rain won't bring us down, argentina's got some bomb
empanadas, the members are super missionaries and went to lessons every day
with us, the cathedral looks super cool at 6:30 in the morning on our morning
runs of and the cherry on top to a great week AND we taught a satanist.
I love being a missionary! Fist
because I learn every day, second because seeing people happy with the gospel
is worth everything, third, the work is FUN. I love studying the scriptures,
love teaching what I know to be true and I love trying to be a little better
everyday. The Christlike attributes... I'm so glad everyone is doing their
homework! As I've been reading the New Testament I've realized even more that
Christ had so many imperfect people to work with... yet his patience, charity,
love, diligence, faith, hope, humility, virtue and obedience shined in every
single way to be our example. Keep up the studies, I'm right there with you!
Speaking of studies, Chapter 2 of Preach my Gospel talks all about it! In the
begining of my mission, studying didn't come too easy (explains why school
wasn't always easy too) but in time, O've come to recognize it's importance! My
favorite way is to live what I learn. as I study I picture all te things
happening in every chapter of the scriptures. You gotta liken it unto yourself
or else reading will never be fun! Praying for understanding and to be lead by
the spirit helps. visualize, visualize, visualize. Imagine if your family was
the family of Lehi! Have a study journal, share what you lean with me, studying
can and schould be fun.. with the scriptures and for school. As I pray for
guidance, my studies of the book of mormon, the Bible and Jesus the Christ all
tie together.
JT and Price? how ya doin?! have you
died?
So we visited a wonderful girl named
Florencia this week. She is amazing. A Member innacticve but hasnt been visited
in 2 years. We were sent to her by the bishops wife and we've been visiting her
and teaching her boyfriend the lessons. They both came to church this Sunday
and it was such a great ewxperience to see all of the members happy to see them
and best of all to see the prayers of Florencia answered. Our work isn't
possible without these members!
Marcelo is our investigator next down
the line preparing for baptism but he hasn't been to church. I have never seen
someone so excited to learn and so willing to change for the better. He has
been having problems with his foot so can't attent but when we told him that he
couldn't drink coffee (Super hard because he's a lawyer) he said of I can't?
becuase it was a revalation? okay today is my day to change then. He's great so
keep him in your prayers!
We see miracles every day! We walk a
ton, we teach a ton, we smile a ton, we get frustrated a ton, we sometimes are
super tried with our patience but we're learning so much!! I love the mission.
As always, I love you all so much and
I hope that all is well at home! Keep me in touch with everone and I hope that
you all have the best week!
pray for guidance to understand all
of my typos :) *haha
Luke 21:1-4
1: And he looked up and saw the rich
men casting their gifts (what they had extra) into the treasury.
2: and he saw also a certain poor
widow casting in thither two mites.
3: And he said, Of a truth I say unto
you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4: For all these have of their
abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in
all the living that she had.
Be Grateful. Be Happy. Serve
EVERYONE!
Love always,
