Man I feel
like I just barley wrote ya'll....I guess that's what happens when you email
twice in 5 days. Well these past few
days have been pretty hard core missionary stellar awesome! :D :D So I'm
gonna give a little update on how everybody is doing here in Lewisville!
OK so
we are still working with Fabiola, Jerry and Daisy. Fabiola is what we
call an "eternigator". She can't
get baptized because her novio won't marry her..bleh. But her testimony
is SO strong and she's the best missionary and example to everyone she meets,
and she's technically not even a member! She flat out told her boss that
coffee is not good for you and that she refuses to drink it. And she mailed a
BoM to her sister and mom. Heck ya! Jerry is her "little chunk" who
was going to get baptized, but then we all decided that it would be better for
him to wait a little longer. Personally I had a bit of a hard time with
that...They need the Holy Ghost! Daisy is her daughter who was baptized 3 years
ago after beating leukemia. She is sooo awesome! Such a strong testimony! And
she has been bringing her best friend to church for the past few months. We just talked with her friend (Maria) and
she wants to start taking the lessons. Yippee
#everymemberornonmemberamissionary!
We are also
still working with Blanca. She's also a bit of a eternigator....She's
told us sooo many times that she knows this is the true church, but still is
afraid of getting baptized because she doesn't have the support from her JW esposo,
but we are working on that. Right now we are reading the whole Book of Mormon
through with her so she can understand it. Also we are working with Sonya! She is the one that moved here a year ago from
Honduras where she went to church with her sister who is a member. She absolutely
LOVES the church! In the apartment
complex where she lives we are practically famous because Sonya tells everyone
about us and invites them to come to her church. Haha - we are going to need a bus......Anyways
the only thing holding her back is that she still doesn't understand why she
needs to get baptized again. She was baptized in some Christian church a long
time ago, but she just always says "No quiero jugar con Dios", or she
doesn't want to mess around with serious things like baptism. We are
going to teach her a pretty hardcore apostasy lesson tonight! I'm stoked! Also *cool story* we brought her to watch a
baptism on Saturday, and of course we ended up running late..Latino time....and
we walked in the door literally RIGHT as the girl was entering the water! Miracle!!
God knew Sonya needed to see it:)

| Amazing Zone Conference last week |
Other than
that we have been doing TONS of finding lately. We recently found Claudia
(typical Mexican mom), la familia Torrez (trying to decide between our church
and Pentecostals), Miriam (Honduran soccer player who is up for anything), Jennifer
and Veronica (14 year olds who love reading the BoM:) So ya, basically good
things are happening here! Please keep these people in your prayers!
Unfortunately I kinda messed up my back somehow this
past week. I just got back from the chiropractor
and he said I have to stop running for 2 weeks.
Likely has something to do with the fact that I have one leg like an
inch shorter than the other, which is giving me a curved spine :'( :'( Hopefully shoe inserts will do the trick. I get really frustrated with my body
sometimes. Grrr - just work! So if anyone wants to remember my back in their
prayers that would be awesome.

| Always learning how to be a better missionary |
I feel like I
bear this testimony in every email, but I KNOW that God hears and answers prayers.
The other day it was just a hard day. I really don't even remember why, but I just
remember thinking "man I just need a hug!" So I decided to
pray, and right after that I still felt crappy..So I went to the BoM and opened
to Alma 26 (my fav chapter) right there vs 27-31, sooo perfect! Now
when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the
Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear
with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success. I know that no matter where we are in our lives, that
God wants to help us and he labors with us:)
Love you ya'll
