Hey fam and friends!
First of all, I need to give a big BIENVENIDO to my new nephew Cache!!! Congrats Dusty and Al on your first baby!! I am so excited for you guys and hope all goes well with your cute new little family.
All is going well here and we are working hard. We had interviews with President this week which went really well... he is a great president and always makes me feel better when I am down about some aspect of missionary work. Lets see... what happened this week.... well, my companion slipped in some mud and completely biffed it, and then a few days later she got bit by a dog. Hahah, poor girl! I feel like everything is always happening to my companions. Whenever someone is sick or gets hurt we are supposed to call our mission president`s wife Hermana Heyman, and I told her I feel like I am always the one calling her, but for my companions.. not for me. Hahah I don´t know how I always get so lucky! So far I haven´t had any accidents and I haven`t been really sick. I am starting to conclude that maybe I just don´t take care of my companions like I should and that´s why they always get hurt or sick...?
So I am needing mission advice from anyone and everyone, please. This area is still a little bit difficult and the branch here is not very strong.. it seems like every week someone else is going inactive. I think there are a lot of underground problems here and a lot of people who don´t get along, get offended, and end up leaving the church, which is leaving us with a million inactives and the only actives are recent converts, which can´t hold up the church because they are brand new and they need the support of the members. It has been a challenge trying to find the balance between helping the branch stay standing up and working on our first priority which is finding people who don´t have the gospel yet and helping them recieve it. Any advice from anyone? It would be greatly appreciated.
Well... time is moving along, somedays fast, somedays slow, but asi es la misión. I hope you all are doing well and are enjoying life. Take care!
