Hola

January 20, 2014

hey family! this week was really good! it was pretty busy!

 

on tuesday i went on an exchange to my old area with elder muellor. he is a really good missionary and has severe allergies to nuts and dairy! he's been out about 7 months now and he has only had one serious problem with his allergies which is good. while we were there i got see a couple of my old investigators who still aren't baptized but one is really close!!! i'm excited for her! then the following morning i saw a coupon on the table in their apartment for a pancake place and that they just now started selling gluten free pankcakes so we went and while we were there we ran into another one of my old investigadors who hasn't been visited by missionaries in awhile and while we were there we set up an appointment for that saturday! haha.

 

on wednesday our ward has started doing this program type thing to get members more excited for missionary work. all of us missionaries and as many members as can we meet at the church at 7 and go visit our investigatros, less-actives or we go tracting, its been really fun. the first wednesday that we did it only about 4 people showed up...haha so its getting a little bit better!

 

then on thursday i went on another exchange to my old ward but to a different area. it was really fun. i went with elder sepulveda, he's colombian. we had a couple good lessons and got to see one of the members who is from brazil and we also clandi came out with us that night to help us. he is a good guy! we got really close while i served there!

 

one thing that is really sad is that adolfo one of my old investigators had a stroke and is really bad...he's in a coma right now. the good thing is that the hospital he's in is close to me. so we are going to visit him tomorrow. then i was thinking about it how it might be a good thing if he was to pass on now becuase right now he can't be baptized because of his situation he is in, but he could go to the spirit world and accept it there! adolfo is the older guy who is just the nicest guy ever! please pray for him :)

 

on saturday we did a lot of tracting and we found a couple new potentials. one of them we had a really good lesson with and invited him to church and he was like yeah i'll come (he's 18) and we really didn't think he'd come but he came! and he said he loved it there! we have another lesson with him tonight! we are hoping for good things for him!

 

then we went to go check up on a potential so he lets us in and we get to talking and then he tells us that he is a member and that he got baptized back in argentina but hasn't been since and how he wants us to teach his kids, one is 5 and the other is 14 and the kids aren't baptized! so the plan is to baptize the 14 year old daughter! 

 

we have been really working hard and trying to have more miracles and have more faith! its been really fun! this friday we have interviews with president, which i'm looking forward to! its always a treat! haha.

 

i had a weird dream the other night that my mission ended and i think dad and michael picked me up and took me home to where mom and amanda was and they started crying haha. it was sad and funny! i've been kinda missing you all lately haha! but don't worry its not distracting from the work! :) i just love you all so much!!!

 

this week is going to be very crazy again. i'll have exchanges tue, thur, and fri, then on sat we have a whole mission conference. its going to be a great week though filled with miracles!!!

 

con amor,

Elder Lifferth
