I love you! Thanks again
and again for the letters and support. I receive such strength from
hearing from such wonderful people. I love you!
On Tuesday I
got my package! Thanks Mom and Dad! It was very much appreciated. And I
LOVE the shirt. I'll try to send a picture today, if I can figure out
how. And then on Wednesday we had to go to the mission office to drop
off some forms and and they gave my other package, which was the Loveland calendar! I love it. It's hanging on the wall where we study.
:)
I know I've been slacking in telling you guys about our
investigators, so I'll try to do better. We have been trying to improve
in "talking to everyone," and last Monday we decided to contact a woman
who was selling tamales, which was probably the best idea ever. :) She
talked about how she is trying to improve and be better for her
daughters, and strengthen her relationship with God, and was very happy
to talk with us! Her name is S and she is sooo wonderful. We've had
a few lessons with her this week and she is progressing so well. Also,
sometimes she gives us tamales and they are REALLY good. :) On Saturday
we taught about keeping the Sabbath day holy and she said "I´m not going
to sell on Sundays anymore because I know that God will give me more
than the money I would earn that day." She's just soo awesome! She
understands that when we put God first, He takes care of us. She also
has a daughter who is 16 and we taught her a couple times as well. She
is also super awesome and they are both going to be baptized on February
20th! I am so excited for them!
Today we had a "zone activity," which was actually just us and the
zone leaders, and their companion since they are in a trio. We went to
the Centro Cultural de Tijuana, or Cecut. Turns out it's closed on
Mondays. Oops. The only thing that's open is the botanical garden, which
was pretty unimpressive. haha oh well. It was still fun. We went to the
nearby shopping center, where the Elders went into every men's formal
store to look at ties. haha funny guys. And then we ate some tacos. :)
About our apartment, we do have hot water, so that's good. And it
gets pretty cold at night, at least it did at first. Lately it's been
pretty warm outside, even though it´s January. And I haven't has to turn
on my electric blanket yet, mostly I just put on warms socks,
sweatpants and use the sweatshirt you gave me, Mom, and I am perfectly
warm. :)
Well I have to go! I love you lots and lots!
Have a great week!
Love,
Hermana Loveland
Mom-
Thanks for the pictures! I am glad you are having a great time in
Wisconsin. Give everyone a big hug for me! Another thing I forgot to
mention that I received in the Christmas package was the "Come what may
and love it" plaque. :) I put it next to my bed and it's a great
reminder to me every day. :)
