Family and Friends!
Ok I have a huge accomplishment i want to tell everybody... I can whistle. Yep, I´ve learned. Ok well it´s not very good nor loud but I can make a sound! haha, Dad you´ll be proud. I´ll continue practicing to get better.
This week went by really fast, we did 2 intercambios- one with the APs, and another with our district leader here. When I was with the AP I learned so much, and had such a great day. His name is Elder Anderson, from Boise, and he´s hilarious. It definitely reminded me of a lot of things I could try to do better, like many of the intercambios we do. I was grateful for that opportunity to see how he worked. Also he said that his grandma and some family are from Grace, who are Rasmussens. Dad, do you think you know her?
Funny all of the connections there are with the church.
Charlie is doing amazingggg. I am overjoyed to see him so willing to accept these things and how much he loves what he hears. He came to church again yesterday and during the 5th Sunday thing, the guy talked a bit about tithing and about doing the settlements now. Charlie turned to us and asked if he needs to go to that, we said not until he´s a member, and he said oh, and then after I´m a member I can pay tithing and go to that? Sounding pretty excited about it haha. Sometimes it´s just a little difficult to meet with him during the week, he´s got a really crazy boy, but I know he´s loving it. Continue praying for him please, to continue progressing and being able to continue to his baptismal date for the 21 of December.
Another little cool miracle we had was Sofia. On Saturday night we wanted to pass by some African investigators to invite them to church, but instead of them being home, we found another lady who a couple days before had just moved in, renting a room there. I felt something pushing me to continue talking to her there in the door way instead of just saying bye. After breaking the ice for a sec, we invited her to church and she surprised me with saying yes and agreeing to walk with us. Surprised me even more when she actually came with us that morning and enjoyed church!
I read the email from Rachel talking about how they don´t really teach in their mission language, and laughed as I realized my mission is pretty similar. We teach a ton of people from completely random countries, and a mix of Spanish and English. I don´t really like teaching in English, it feels super weird. I can´t say a normal prayer in English either, just not used to it. But it´s great, those people are amazing.
Oh this is the last week of the transfer, just wanting to let you know. I got the shoes! Thanks so much for sending them! They´ll be perfect.
I love you all so much, thanks for everything!
