Holllla!!!
Hey there, Lattino fam (and others who are reading
this email)!! Sounds like you had a crazy birthday week! All my little sibs are
growing up on me! Crazy. Those videos cracked me up!!! Olivia seems to take
after someone I know when it comes to blowing out birthday candles:)
Also, you all are such studs for doing that Sprint
tri. Brings back memories of when Zoe and I did it.... hahaha my favorite part
was when we were running and there was a giant sign that indicated that there would
be a water table at the top of a certain hill and Zoe, who was wayyyy ahead of
me, gets to the top of the hill, turns around and, with great fury in her
voice, yells "THEY LIED, THERE'S NO WATER!!!" or something like
that... I probably looked like a hot mess because I was dying and laughing at
the same time. Oh Zoe. I miss her. But congrats on completing the sprint tri!
Y'all are the best!
This week was pretty great! A lot of good progress
with our investigators, two of which we hope to, I mean, that we WILL (if it is
the Lord's will) put on date this upcoming week. We were able to teach E twice
last week, and she came to church!!! She still has quite a few questions and
doubts, but I know that God will help us and her as we continue to teach her
and as she continues to do the things that will bring her closer to her Savior
Jesus Christ. She is awesome and so sweet. We love E!! AND T came to church!!!
We've gotta figure out what his struggle is with church though, because it
takes A LOT of effort to get him there and then when he does come, he
books it out right after sacrament meeting. And Tony, sweet sweet Tony Li came
to church as well. He is definitely one of those people that even though he
doesn't understand everything, he is so humble and willing to learn that the
Spirit is able to work with him and help him along his journey, even if he
doesn't quite recognize it yet:) He told us last time that when he went to the
Bowler's home last week and talked about eternal families, that he really liked
that idea. He told us that's what he wants and we promised him that he can have
that as he continues to develop faith in God:) He is awesome!
So this is the last week of the transfer!
Seriously, time is FLYING. I can't even believe it. And I'm going to be praying
that Hna Carvalho stays with me for her last transfer!!! She is just the best.
It will probably be one of the saddest days of my life when she leaves... but
that's not for a while so we won't talk about that.
Okay, here are the answers to your questions,
Mamita!
1. Hmmm....What would I do differently in sharing the
gospel in High School knowing what I know now? I would have definitely been bolder.
I feel like when people asked me about it and when I heard other
people talking about it, I was happy to stand for what I believed
and answer questions, but I was always afraid to bring it up
myself, to initiate a conversation about how much Jesus Christ means to me
and why I am so grateful for the restored gospel in my life. I wish I would
have done that with all of my friends, because I feel like I would have
been much more pro-active rather than passive in being a disciple of Jesus
Christ.
2. A typical day? I started to type it out,
but it sounded really boring, because it was just a list of times and activities
that we typically do as missionaries, more of the routine, ya
know? I will write it out in more detail and with more
thought and send that to you next week!:)
3. Am I working out? Is that a fat joke???
hahaha just kidding…although I know I'm getting a little chubby:) but
yes we workout........ sometimes it just ends up being "stretching" but
we've made a goal to run every day this week!!
Okay, well I love you all sooooo much! Have an
amazing, fantastic, wonderful week!!!
