¡Hola, mis queridos amigos y
familia! Como siempre, ¡me hace
felicísimo para hablar con vosotros otra vez!
¡La obra del Señor de
cierto es buenísimo! Gracias por todos vuestros
mensajes de
cumpleaños; ¡me hizo muy feliz!
So this week, our investigator list has been in
turmoil! Nilida has
dropped us because she`s become less and less
interested and doesn`t
want to get married or separated, we haven`t
been able to contact
Karen, and Dinora hasn`t been answering the door
or the phone. But we
have 6 nuevos this week, and 4 overall
investigators with baptismal
dates, and 2 we are ready to extend the
invitation to! So the work is
still going strong here in Chuy!
Funny story: we had lunch with the Ramos family,
and up until we had
visited and found their house (we don`t know
where most of the members
live), we had only known the mother and the
daughter. (they`re
members, btw) But during lunch we got to meet
the father, and he looks
just like Bill Cosby! He even kinda acts like him,
so we have
officially found the Spanish speaking Bill
Cosby! If we ever get a
picture with the family I`ll send it to you, and
you`ll know what I
mean. It`s kinda freaky, actually!
Welp, that`s about all! Como siempre, ¡os quiero
mucho! ¡Qué andéis
bien!, y ¡Dios para siempre esté con vos! ¡Ciao!

Questions:
1.
In your last letter you said there are 600 members and only 50 or so are
active. Are the missionaries involved in
reactivation of less active
members?
More or less. Most of the less
actives were
baptized long ago without really being fully
taught and converted, and
a lot of them have bad experiences with members,
so reactivation is a
big problem here. Most of the inactive members
here don`t want anything to do
with the Church or even don`t know almost
anything about it. It`s a
mess.
2.
Did you mention in your last letter that you had a visit with President
Eddy? How did it go? Are there any challenges he
gave you as far as the
work goes? Did he come visit for transfers or
something else?
Yup! We had interviews with him in Rocha on Monday and then all the
oros came up to Montevideo on Tuesday for an Oro Conference. We
learned a lot on how to ask for references and
make contacts with the
Book of Mormon!
3.
Did you get your birthday package yet?
I believe so! If it was sent
in September, then yes!
4.
What miracles happened this week?
Definitely the family of
Lucia (In
his audio clip to us, Jackson talked about how they were able meet Lucia and
her sister at church through Lucia’s boyfriend, Roberto. Roberto is a member
who really wants his girlfriend to join the church so he can baptize her
himself. They have high hopes for Lucia and her sister!)
5.
What are you most grateful for?
That the Lord has been with
and strengthened me despite my many weaknesses. He never leaves
His servants alone

Questions:
1. Is it ok for us to send you any short video
clips? 10-15 second type
stuff of stuff going on in our lives? Just want
to make sure it is
allowable in the rules.
Elder Anderson told me yes,
so go ahead!
2.
The Spanish is sounding really good in your voice clips! What are you
doing in your study? It's working!
I have been reviewing 5 new
words a day and reading the Scriptures in Spanish. Also,
Elder Anderson and I strive to talk more and
more together in Spanish.
3.
Are you playing much soccer there? Anything else on P-days?
Lately, not as much. On
P-days we normally go fishing, shopping,
or sightseeing.
4.
Have you been to a churrasco?
I honestly have no idea what
that is xD
