Spring Time

Hey family!!! Wow lots of changes for ya'll! from hair to surgery. That’s fun haha the pic of mom caught me off gaurd but it looks good!! Stephen's knee on the other hand doesn't look too good haha. Hope he starts feeling better.

So last Monday as I told you we went to DC. It was really fun. We parked at the hiro shima parking and walked about 3 miles into DC. I took a lot of cool pics and I hope you enjoy them. The cherry blossoms were mostly dead already haha...oh man...

So as ya'll know we've been working with a youth named Arnoldo who is 13 but really big for his age. He's the one who has had a lot of problems with the law. Yesterday morning we called his mom and she told us he was still asleep and it was about 10:10, so we drove over there and woke him up and had him get ready and also the whole family got ready and they all went to church! It was awesome haha. He's set to get baptized on may 18 (if he doesn't get thrown in jail this Tuesday) so pray for him :)

For this transfer we've been praying and thinking and we feel like we can get 6 baptisms by the end (may 30) it'll be way hard but possible. So that’s where we are at now. We have some solid people now and we are also looking for more solid people, God's elect if you will.

This week I finally got to mow some lawns! I didn't realize how much I miss it... haha. I'm not sure if I ever told you this but before my mission I had a dream that I was a missionary and that I mowed someone's lawn, now this week that dream happened. haha one of the lawn's was a older lady member's lawn and the other was one of our solid investigators' Rina, the one with the bakery. haha I made sure to have Elder Wilson take some pics of me mowing. haha.

One of the youth who goes to the english ward who's mom is argentine and he, Daniel leaves on his mission to honduras the end of may and we've been having him come out with us! He's really quiet and kind of awkward but we are working with him and he is already getting better! It’s nice. He also has celiac and his mom said she's going to make me a gluten free cake for my birthday!!! yeah!!!

One of most powerful investigators, Brenda, is ready to get baptized. She knows all the lessons and is just powerful. The only thing holding her back is her boyfriend....but we started teaching him, and there is some small progress happening with it. He now knows he has 2 options before may 18. Well I  guess 3 ;) 1) move out 2) marry brenda 3) get married to brenda and then to get baptized too ;) hehe so we'll see what happens haha. It’s looking good though.

I think that’s about it. Do you like how I do my emails? Is there anything you want me to change? Add stuff? Exclude stuff? idk let me know :)

con mucho amor,

Elder Lifferth

 

One of our investigators gave us a lil 20 lb dumbell that I am so happy for that I work out in the car while we drive!! Also the sadness the cherry blossoms were gone hahah.
