Family!
Hola how are we all doing? Things are great here in the South end of the world. Still hot, still dirty, and where i want to be and wouldn´t rather be anywhere else! Haha life is good, i´m really beginning to love life down here. There honestly is no where on the face of the earth i´d rather be right now than right here, right now, doing this work! I´m so glad to hear that life is good for everyone else back in the good ole united states and i´m glad that mom and dad are doing well in the craziest of continents, africa!
Kirk and family, i´m not gonna lie i cried when i heard about max. That definitly put a huge damper on the beginning of my week but i´m pretty sure that if the celestial kingdom is what we think it will be then our best buddies will be there too. And by the way felicitaciones on the baptism that you had this week! Way to go Josh buddy! Your on your way to eternal life! CONGRATTTTTS!
Yeah, heid´s thanks for sharing that story with everyone else. GROSS yet very entertaining... haha so i guess i won´t know til next week but did anyone in the family get an email from a ¨nelda aravena`? yeah, she is the bomb hma that is in our ward and if we want to baptize someone we just set up a family home evening with her and the investigator and it´s pretty much guaranteed! Ha no, its not that easy but yeah, her family is ballin and i´m glad that we´ve got good members like her.
Well things have been kinda crazy the past week. We´ve been workin real hard all week to get our investigators to progress.
Felipe – SE BAUTIZÒ AYER!!! Yes, this guy is amazing, he´s only 17 but he already wants to be a misionary! We´ve been working with him for less than 20 days now but he´s already stoked on the church. He loves the ward, the people, the feeling that he feels when he´s there, the only problem we´ve got is that he needs to have a deeper testimony of Christ i think. I dunno. He´s pretty solid but when he bore his testimony after his baptizm thats all he really talked about was the ward and stuff. On the plus side his whole famly showed up to the baptizm. We´ve been teaching his sister for a week now, her name is fernanda and before we even started teaching her she asked if she could get married in the temple with her boyfriend! Can you say elect! Yeah it was a pretty cool experience. Anyways his whole family came to the baptizm which is awesome cuz they are pretty catholic but we were able to talk to them at the baptizm and followed up with teaching them yesterday afternoon a killer first lesson! Yeah i´m super stoked right now which means i´m probably in for a humbling experience real soon but i´m just gonna keep a smile on and keep workin hard!
Ana- We were still hitting a brick wall with ana, the lady who has all the doubts but i think we finally overcame them last night! Booya! I invited her to get baptized and she said yes! Little did we know that she drinks tea like every day. Yeah that kinda sucks but we commited her to not drink it at all today until we can get back to her tonight and lay the smack down, aka word of wisdom.. yeah, so lifes good, her and her 3 kids should be gettin baptized this week. PLEASE PRAY! Yeah, so we bought her some stuff that she can drink to try and overcome her addiction to tea. So that was a huge highlight of yesterday, missionaries have been teaching her since june of last year so this is a HUGE thing! We are seriously way stoked on this!
Well family i really want to share more but i´m straight up outta time, this kinda stinks that i never have any time to write ya´ll. They give us an hour to write, one letter to the presidente every week which takes a bit of time, then i print out all the letters from ya´ll and read them and then i have just a bit of time left to send an email out so yeah, here it is! I love you all. Thank you all for your support and love, i hope that life is treating all of you well and that things are going well.
Much love, well wishes and prayers sent in your direction,
Elder livingstone
