Mommy!
So, this week we finally got to teach the cousin of Hermana
Nelly, a member in the ward. Her cousin, Alan, has been involved in the
scouting program with the church for the last five years and has started going
to church the past month. We finally got to sit down with him on Saturday and
teach him a lesson. He really liked it and said that he had been missing a chat
like that before! He seems really anxious to read and seems pretty golden. Only
problem is that we can only see him on the weekends, but I think that he will
progress well!
Also, we found out that Anita and Domingo probably won't get
their documents until the 20th of November. So, it looks like I won't be here
for their baptism, but it has been a privilege teaching them! And, it’s not over
yet!!!! The ward is really helping them feel welcome, and they have more and more
friends every week!
The other picture is a man who was painting this building
all morning. Keep in mind that you can't see the ground and I took that picture
from an 11th floor window. I watched him start in the upper right corner of the
building and work his way down the building and then come back up and move a
little to the left and go down the column again and then come up and work his
way left and down again and again and again all morning long..... And on top of
that, I think he will have to go back and do a second coat because the first
was a little thin. Wow! What a job! And, considering my incredible fear of
heights, what courage!! I think that that is how life often is. We have such
and incredible mountain of tasks in front of us that sometimes just looking at
all we have to do, we give up right there without having started! But, if we
have the courage to say “Yes! I can do it all!”, then we can work section by
section, up and down, over a little more until we finish! We just have to pick
a task and decide to do all that we can with that task, and then leave it and
move on. That’s what this man would do. Wherever he was, he would paint all
that he could reach and then lower himself, and then paint all he could reach,
and then lower himself.... Pretty cool, huh?
Love you!
