Mommy,
That is exactly how it
should work. The members help us find and we help the people they care about
earn a place in the Celestial Kingdom with their families. The broadcast was
really good. It was last night for us. It was really great. Everyone came to
our building because it’s the biggest which is SUPER convenient for us because
we live one block from the church. I can’t believe my birthday came so fast.
It´s crazy!!!
Yeah, I’ll need new clothes
because my jeans won’t fit--I’ve gained about fifteen pounds, because of the
food. The diet of the average argentine consists of pastas; empanadas, it´s
kind of like a calzone; milanesa, basically breaded and fried anything--it can
be chicken or beef or veggies or rice and chicken, or I’ve even had one made of
soy which was pretty yummy; pizza, which is more simple than our pizza, it’s
basically cheese with bread but yummy; asados, which is the most delicious
selection of all types of meat beef, chicken, pork, chorizo, blood sausage, and
other parts that we don’t normally eat but are yummy on the grill- asado means
grill but it’s grilled but it’s a ton of meat; bread with every meal;
alfajores, which are the most yummiest little treat made of a cookie cake and
dulce de leche, which is similar to caramel and dipped in chocolate. That’s
what we eat. It is the most yummiest, the most delicious, but the most
fattening. But SO GOOOD!!!! Find an authentic argentine restaurant and eat
there!!
This week was great! One
night we came back in the evening to plan, and I was just absolutely exhausted
and I had a horrible headache; I think I was a little dehydrated. We finished planning
and it just got worse, so I got ready for bed and lay down, and it was a
miracle that I slept my head was pounding so badly. I woke up and I still felt
bad not as bad but icky, but we went and worked anyway and that day was a
miracle!!! We taught five lessons with a member present, and in the midst of it
all my sickness went away. I didn’t even notice it was gone until later, but I
learned a powerful lesson in obedience and losing yourself in the work. It was
such a wonder tender mercy of the Lord. I’m so grateful for the health that I
have and to be here right now as a representative of the Savior!!! There is no
better work and there is no limit to this work!!! We are all a part of it! You
too are a representative of the Savior!!! You promised to be when you were
baptized. The only difference between me and you is that I’m set apart to help
people repent and be worthy for baptism. Other than that we have all the same
responsibilities to find people to accept this message and to help them in
their journey of conversion to the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ before and
after baptism. I LOVE IT!!! May we all take advantage of the time that we
have to serve in this great work!!!
I love you!! Thanks for
the birthday whishes!!!
