Thunderstorms and humidity

June 3, 2013

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
