Hey family!!!!!
How’s it going?? This week was a good week. It was also
super hot and humid...we have been very wet and sweaty...haha we've enjoyed a
lot of slurpees for dinner! haha
On Wednesday (because Elder Wilson got transferred) a lot
of people wanted to feed him one last time. So guess how many meals we ate that
day...?? 6!!! and 2 to take home with us...we were filled to the brim..sadly
Elder Olivo didn't judge his food intake and didn’t conserve space because at our
first meal there was a lot of really good food and he ate a ton...only for us
to have to eat again about 10 mins later! haha man.
On Thursday at transfers all those who are getting
switched to the new mission have already gotten switched! Even some of the new
missionaries who just got here from the mtc got switched to the Richmond
mission! I lost a coouple friends...haha. but it’s ok, the Lord knows what He
is doing! I was able to get some pics with some before they left haha.
Isabell and Stefany got confirmed yesterday! And they
both asked me to do it. It was really great! What an honor to use the
priesthood I have for the use of others! Isabel also told us Arnoldo should be
getting out of jail this Friday!!! So we can start visiting him again and clear
up all his problems and get him baptized!!! So we are looking forward to that.
A lot of our investigators haven’t been coming to
church!!!! ahhh!! We only had one yesterday.... everyone is so busy! It’s been
so hard and frustrating...because they can't progress unless they go to church.
We teach the importance of it but they "have to work"....so far from
what I've seen out here is that if an investigator goes to church a couple
times they will get baptized!!
There has been a couple really sweet thunderstorms!!!! Lots
of rain and crazy lightning! It’s awesome. This morning in our jog it was
sprinkling just a little bit and it was so nice!
I’ve been thinking about this ward lately and just how
this ward would fall apart without obsipo...even though he does stuff different
and doesn't help out with the missionary efforts he somehow keeps this ward
together...a lot of the missionaries don't always give him the credit he
deserves because he is so focused on the members who are even coming..he doesn't
focus on less actives because he has a hard enough time with those who come!
He's a great guy. Also he's a gringo! ha. It’s a great ward they just need a
lot of help!
We are still trying to talk to everyone we see! We've been
doing a ton of street contacts and actually getting new investigators because
of it. We haven't done a whole lot of knocking doors because we haven't really
had any need. Some people are way nice and others...well not so much hahaha.
Also if you could all pray for Elder Moodie. Next
time someone goes to the temple maybe put his name on the pray roll? Sweet,
thanks!
Well I think that’s about all for this week! At this
point we are just trying to get our investigators to PROGRESS!!! hahah man what
a challenge....
I sure love you all so much and very proud of you!!! Thanks
for everything
Con mucho amor,
Elder Lifferth
