Hey fam!
We honestly had a pretty bad week last week. I'm sick as a dog with this cold, and it hit me hard this last week. The doctor told me to stay in bed for two days... but there was work to do so we went out in the evening to work those days. So numbers are down. No investigators came to church Sunday. lol Lucia didn't come because last week the Bishop read a letter from the Area Presidency asking that sick people don't come to church because of the Influenza A problem in Argentina. So Lucia didn't come because she's sick. lol at least now we know that she has a testimony of the church leadership! Haha our investigators are a mess... Lucia is sick and can't come to church. Romina's boyfriend's brother got hit by a car riding his moto, so we can't have lessons with her. Manuel wants to keep learning and know everything before he gets baptized... we'll be meeting with him Tuesday with the Bishop to help him find his answer (because he felt the Spirit, just didn't recognize it). The Rodriguez family is awesome, but the dad just started to work days and evenings delivering pizza, so hard to have lessons with them too. But the work is progressing and we're looking forward to finding more people this week!
We had a mission conference last Friday with the new president. He is a stud. Really soft spoken, but full of one-liners, and thus way funny. He says that his focus for the mission in these three years will be to help the missionaries be more sensitive to the whisperings of the Spirit. I'm really excited to learn from him! He says his wife is really direct, really blunt... I'm frankly afraid to talk to her. lol but they're awesome. Only downside to their fam is that two of their kids are down at BYU... too bad, huh?
I made an incredible discovery the other day. I went to make toast (because my diet the last week has been rice and toast) and had the bread all buttered and ready to go. But then Elder Casco asked me for help making french toast, so I showed him the right egg/milk ratio. But then I had french toast mix to use, so I dipped my buttered bread in the eggs and made french toast. INCREDIBLE! Try it, you'll like it.
Birthday package: you could send me some maple extract, because there isn't any here, and Vanilla syrup isn't as good. Also, look for the best deal on an 8 GB flash drive... probably one of those black ones that slides... I've misplaced mine. Luckily, there wasn't anything important on it. I'm devising ways to not lose it.
Pack of letters on the way, and I think I'm all caught up. Mykin needs an address, Aunt Dalene and Uncle Fred need an address verification, Greg is hand delivery. Tina and Corry both get letters this round, I'll get some alfajores over to corry.
Thanks SO MUCH for my priesthood line of authority! I've been studying my patriarchal blessing in my spare time too while I've been out sick... wow! (Try cross-referencing your blessing with the scriptures. Way cool.)
Loved the pictures - Tina looked miserable and I can't wait to hear how Emily reacts to Bear Lake! (Mom note: sent photo of Tina with Swine Flu and Emily reacting to nature, i.e. a bug--she HATES them!)
