HOLA!!!!!
Como estan todos?? Espero que todo este bien en la
casa de la familia Lattin:)
So, I bet you're wondering what's happening with
transfers, and I have all the news. Sister Carvalho and I will be together for
her last two weeks here (her parents arrive here from Brazil on the 28th to
pick her up)!!!!! Hooray!!!! Once her parents come, I will be in a trio with
Sister Chavarri and Sister Woolstenhulme up in the Gilbert Spanish branch!!! So
we will be covering both the branch and the YSA ward. I am pretty stoked.
The sad news is we're moving out of Pueblo:(
Which, although the work is difficult there, I have met some of the most
AMAZING members there who support us so much and take care of us so well, so
that ward will be a hard one to leave. But it will be good for that area
because they are going to put a zebra trio of elders in that area,
and the Spanish elder will most likely be Elder Vazquez, who is a native
mexicano and he will be AWESOME for that area. Just what Pueblo needs. He is a
super solid missionary and he will definitely make miracles happen in that
area, no doubt. We met with President Nattress last week and he asked us what
we thought he should do with that area, since we're losing so many Spanish
missionaries in the next few transfers (especially sisters), It was definitely
pure inspiration that we gave him the idea to move Elder Vasquez over there.
So, yep. That's the transfer low down!
Man, I can't believe my companion goes home in two
weeks... my heart really hurts every time I think about it!
This week was pretty good! I feel like there isn't
a whole lot to report on... OH. We are so grateful that you fasted for Tim and
Edna yesterday. They need it. Both of them most likely won't be getting
baptized this Friday, unless Heavenly Father works some miracles in the next
few days. The only way it could happen is if Edna changed her mind this past
weekend about changing her date. She went back home this weekend to be with her
family for her dad's birthday. She expressed to us her worry that the same
feelings of sadness and anger would come back, so we hope she was able to be
strong and hold on to the love and strength God has been giving her these past
few days. She also told us that she didn't feel like she would be ready on the
17th, so she wanted to change it. But we are going to try and help her be ready for baptism before Sister Carvalho leaves. That's what we're praying for. So
please pray for Edna this week.
And Tim… He just recently got a new job and will
be working on Sundays:( So his progress will probably slow down quite a bit
until he gets Sundays off again. He is doing well, but if he can't come to
church his spiritual focus will definitely take a hit. And if that's taking a
hit, then it will be harder for him to recognize his answer, which he is still
struggling with a lot. So pray for him too.
Tony Li is doing well. He just told us in our last
lesson that he still isn't sure he believes in God, and he isn't ready to get
baptized, but "maybe in 10 years". Haha he is still coming to church
though and went to the Meet the Mormons movie and LOVED it!!! He especially
loved the Humanitarian from Nepal, because his home village is on the other
side of the Himalayas, so the scenery was familiar to him. It was a cool connection.
Speaking of the movie, IT IS AMAZING!!!! You are
all going to love it!!! Prepare yourselves for one of the best movie
experiences you've ever had. Seriously, it is so good. I bawled like a baby in
the last story. The whole thing really just perfectly captures the lives and
faith of these LDS people, who live very different lives in places all around
the world. It is an inspiring movie. And I love that the whole theme it sets
forth is that we are fervent believers and dedicated followers of JESUS CHRIST.
I'm so excited for you to see it!!! That's crazy that it was sold out when you
went to see it! That makes me so happy. Definitely invite your friends and go
request it on meetthemormons.com so it
will come to even more locations in CO!:)
Okie dokes, well I love you all so much!!! Hope
you have an amazing week.
