¡Hola Todos!
It's been a rollercoaster ride this week! Still having the same difficulties with finding new investigators and keeping the current ones progressing. I was surprised with President Northcutt's last zone conference this week! It was a very very spiritual one--dead silence after the closing prayer :P It was really good though and we learned a lot, yet again. There's a certain kid from the ward that got his mission call to Chile. He was supposed to leave 2 weeks ago, but a volcano in Chile caused a ton of ash to cover the two airports in Buenos Aires, making travel impossible through there. He got set apart all the same last Sunday, so he actually accompanied us for a couple days, which was a great help! He finally had to take a bus down to Buenos Aires to go to the MTC there until he can fly out to Chile. The missionaries that had to leave last transfer got jipped as well, seeing as they couldn't fly out to the US again! 3 poor elders from Chile had to make the 36-hour bus trip to Santiago to be able to go home! And then supposedly 2-3 incoming elders from the states got stuck in Texas, so the mission pres had to go and pick them up and keep them there until they can travel! Such a nagging issue!
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers seeing this! Unfortunately the holiday coupled with really cold weather made mission work impossible yesterday, but happy holidays anyways :) I had to give an emergency talk yesterday because none of the speakers showed up. I talked about how fathers should be like Heavenly FATHER, using lots of scriptures that explain who he is, and the blessings that come from being like him. I also showed examples of good fathers in the Book of Mormon, showing how their knowledge of God helped define their character. It turned out really nice :)
Love you all!!!
