Holllla Familia!!
It's great to hear from you. When I heard about Norm's turn for
the worst last week in the hospital I felt so sad for him and Marshall and
Stella. I said a prayer that night and prayed that he would be okay, but I told
Heavenly Father that I knew that His will was what was best. What is crazy, is that I distinctly remember Wednesday evening when I was saying my evening prayers, I knew it had happened...that Norm was gone. I felt very
peaceful afterwards and that entire week, whenever I prayed for their little family, I just
felt prompted to pray for Marshall and Stella that they would be strong, that
they would be able to accept His will and feel of His love, and that they would
know that their dad was in a better place, that he was happy and at peace. I
hope they are doing okay, and tell them I love them. I will write them more of my experience in a letter.
Anyways, this week was a good one! This email is
going to be pretty short because I'm going to send some pictures
home... courtesy of Sister Carvalho because I forgot my camera cord
at home:) Thank goodness for companions! Haha really though, she is the best.
She is one of those people I've met on my mission that I knew I was supposed to
meet and become good friends with! I love my comp.
We worked extremely hard this week and are going
to continue to work to meet all the people in our Pueblo ward so we can get the
work goin' in our area. Our Ward Mission Leader, Hermano Maynez is probably the
most awesome ward mission leader in the world. He also just happens to be the
coolest person in the world as well. His entire family is awesome and we LOVE
THEM!! I think that's what I've learned this week, that we are so blessed to
have amazing members, in both of our wards. I know that as we continue to work
with them, we will see miracles happen here! It's not easy to work in two
areas, it's almost a little bit overwhelming, because there is SO much work to
be done! But I know that the Lord can do everything and anything. I know that
He will guide us to those who are ready to hear our message and accept the
Gospel in their lives! It will happen.
Here are the answers to your questions, Mamita:
11. Yes, we
actually leave the mission boundaries to go to church in the Pueblo ward every
Sunday! (haha) It’s pretty weird, but fun, because I get to drive more than 45
mph on the freeway. Don’t worry, Dad. I drive safely. I consider Sister Carvalho
precious cargo, so I try not to let my Boettcher driving instincts take overJ (haha) But yes, we
cover those two stakes for all of the Spanish work. There are also a set of
Elders and a set of Sisters (both Spanish speaking) serving in the Pueblo ward
that are from the Mesa Mission, so that’s interesting.
22. We have
a car and bikes. Unfortunately, we rarely ride our bikes because our areas are
so far apart. We spend a good portion of our time driving to different areas
and different houses within our Spanish area.
33. Yes,
Hermana Chavs is in my new district!!! She is awesome and I missed her so much!
Oh, and did I tell you Elder Caldwell (from the Mexico MTC) is my district
leader?! It’s great.
Okay well I love you so much! I'll send some
pictures:)
LES QUIEROOOOOO!!!
