Dear Framiry:
Hey everyone! So this week was a little very weird. Starting on the 30th, both Hna Fernandez and I got a werid stomach ache. We figure it´s probably from something we ate, but we thought of everything and can´t pinpoint it. Anyway, the 31st and 1st we weren´t allowed to leave the pench to proselyte anyway, which kinda worked out cuz we were in no condition to go out and preach the gospel. We cleaned out the fridge, the bedroom, in fact the whole pench, and disinfected everything. It was kind of a pathetic arangement actually. We both would be laying down until we got bored and be like, okay. We´re feelin good. Let´s go clean. Or make a pie. (see picture. :) ) And then in the middle of said activity we´d have to go lay down again. A little hilarious.
That night we were invited to a New Years dinner in the Zone Leaders´ ward, (all the missionaries have permission to stay out till 11:30. woot!) and we were so sick of the pench that we went. The food was delicious (see picture). Or at least, the little bit that we could stomach down. It had to be New Years. haha
Anyway, so there´s the new years story. All in all, it was an interesting break, and we´re more than happy to be healthy and invested again in the Lord´s work.
This week was also a little difficult to find people to teach. What with the holidays and partying and all. Worst of all, we weren´t able to meet with Mauricio, and although we went again on Sunday to take him to church, his brother told us he had left the night before and wouldn´t be able to attend. :(
But I still have hopes for him. He´s doing great. The good news is that the lessons we have had with him thus far went really well. The last lesson we had he told us he had been reading the Gospel Principles manuel that we gave him. He couldn´t find his brother´s book of mormon, so we gave him one of his own so he can start reading that. And when we talked about how he felt about chruch last sunday he told us that he really liked it, and more than that, that he felt a difference in his life because of it. More purpose.
It was so great to hear that from him. Because it´s so true, and you can see the change in him, just from a few little readings, and attending church. Normally he´s pretty quiet and reserved. And now he smiles more, and when he saw us on his bike one day he shouted out hello. And that´s what the gospel does. It doesn´t matter who you are, where you are in life, what you want to acheive, the gospel of jesus christ will help you. If you apply the principles and doctrines of Christ, you will be spiritually and mentally happier, healthier, and stronger.
I´m so excited to continue working with him. Thanks for all the prayers and support!
Love you all!
