(EMAIL SENT MARCH 30, 2015)
HOLA FAMILIA,
I cannot believe
another week has flown by. It´s absolutely CRAZY. The funny thing is most of
this week we were sick. Ha. I have felt pretty sick the whole week, but no
worries I feel great now, and my sweet comp the same. I think it was the water
that we drank during one of appointments. It was water from the faucet, that
they said tasted really sweet after all the rain that we have received lately.
I was super excited to taste it, and then found out afterwards it was from the
faucet. WOOPS. Didn´t feel too good for a few days, but no worries I feel great
now! Lesson learned for Hna. Shumway!
We could only find two
of our investigators this week. We stopped by to teach Percy, and he couldn´t
meet right then. But he said he read the folleto and is really interested to
learn more. We set a cita for this upcoming week! We found Family Pintado also,
and the Dad had a LOT of questions. The mom loves what we are teaching, and
wants to learn more about the Book of Mormon. We invited them to church and the
Dad said that they need more time. I know that if they just come once, they
would feel how incredible it really is to be in the church. But I just need to
be patient! But both families are doing great!
Manuel, our
investigator who accepted a baptismal date, still hasn´t returned from his
travels. He has been visiting his parents the last few weeks and should return
this week.
Overall, we are
working hard, and we are set on getting back on our feet this week (after all
of our sicknesses) and finishing off my comp´s last week with a bang! I CANNOT
wait for General Conference this week! Also, I am so excited for the chance to
celebrate Easter in these upcoming weeks! What an incredible time in the
church. We as missionaries are sharing cards about the new video that was
released about the Savior and Easter. It is called (sorry I only know it in
Spanish) - Gracias que El Vive. If you haven´t seen it, look it up! It is
incredible! I challenge you all to Share IT with you friends, family,
neighbors, and whoever else might need this great message. It touches so
perfectly on the great sacrifice and resurrection of our Savior.
I wanted to share a
quote that my mom shared with me this week that I loved:
“In
the strength of the Lord we can do and endure and overcome all things.”
- David
A. Bednar
This couldn´t be more
true! I love this gospel!!
Have the greatest week
and thank you for all of your support!!
Hna. Shumway
