Week 69

"Las novedades" como dice mi mami:)

There is ether not much to say about this week or i just don't remember....

Ohhh! Monday we went mini-golfing! :D That is why i wasn't able to get

much emailing in last week, but today i am ready to answer TODOS los

emails DEL MUNDO! (Shout out to Hna Eastwood) Miguel, a recent convert

took four sisters with him in his tiny car and we played out in the

blazing heat and had some snow cones. I got like 10 shades darker but

as the summer goes on I stop caring about how dark I get... its just

uncontrollable. :P It was fun and I found out I wasn't as bad as I

thought I was going to be for a first-timer;D

On Tuesday we had an amazing time at Zone Conference. It was just what

I needed to get me up and running this transfer. I was supper inspired

by President Anderson's talk about obedience and Sister Anderson's

talk about faith and there was even a talk about prayers. They had us

commit to pray out loud every night for the rest of our missions. Its

been going great! I am more focused and there have been more than a

couple times where I feel the spirit confirming to me that Heavenly

Father really is listening to me. I have also had some great

experiences with having the faith to reap. With the anxiety of the

having the end drawing near I have found a renewed source of energy

and courage to open my mouth and talk to more random people and maybe

be a little more bold when I testify. Its been great!:D

On Friday night Hna Gladys made us "pollo con tajadas"!! I about died

it was so delicious and I ate way too much:P

Ohhh my goodness!!! We had a baptism! Lalo was baptized this Saturday!

We had some technical difficulties as always but in the end everything

went great:) Lalo was more than happy with the outcome and the spirit

was felt. He is defiantly the most amazing kid I have had the pleasure

of teaching on my mission. He has an inspiring testimony and I know

that he will go far. He truly knows this church is true and he is an

amazing example for his family and for me.

So we didn't have any investigators at church this Sunday but the

Elders in our branch have this Cuban couple they are teaching who are

just AMAZING! I have had the opportunity to talk to them and meet and

get to know them. These investigators are so great they already

consider themselves members of the church. For the last two Sundays

they have brought some friends with them, another couple who have

promised to keep coming! Miracles are happening here! Madison is about

to explode!

That was my week:D

Love,

Hermana Orellana
