Familia!!!
Ah its good to
hear from all of you. Its been an awesome week here in Angol. Seriously i love
it here so much, its such a fun sector. Its burning burning hot but hey what
are you going to do. Im getting tan though! well mostly just red but its better
than white.
Happy birthday
big brothers!!! I love you all so much. You're like 40 now but who cares. I'm
still young and fit. Well, mostly.
SO its been a
week of miracles. Here is what we have so far...and sorry for the short email
last week! Ill be better today. promise.
Gladis y
Fernanda. Fernanda was in the hospital this past week and her mom stopped us in
the street at like 9:55 as we were walking to our house to go in for the night.
And she said "Pray for my daughter." so we obviously found out what
was wrong and told her we would go there to give a blessing. Fernanda is 18 and
was super sick, but got better right after the blessing and as soon as she came
out we talked for like 10 minutes and put a baptismal date with the two of them
because it was such a strong spirit. 100% guided by the spirit in everything.
The mom didn't go to church this week because her husband is super porfiado but
the daughter did and she is super excited. Crazy how things work! So that is
looking like the 23rd of this month. They are super awesome people.
Ramiro...we
met him in the street, went over to his house, and that was a super spiritual
lesson too. He had almost died like 6 years ago and has been looking for why he
was left on the earth (like seriously, Heavenly Father is handing them to us on
a silver platter) and we taught the gospel of Jesus Christ (faith through
baptism etc.) and he just loved it. He is thinking about getting baptized the
end of this month or early december, but he accepted a baptismal date right
away too! Such miracle stuff. Honestly awesome. He is about 30 and has got a
great heart, such a humble and simple person for what happened. Was a huge
military buff before but now he only sees out of one eye and has a limp so he
can't do anything...just small stuff in the neighborhood. Crazy how the Lord
prepares people for the gospel, sometimes a personal accident, sometimes time,
sometimes crazy events. But the two are super prepared.
Another family
is Marcelo and Pamela. We found them last week and they are SO cool. We met him
int he street, he is like 30 and my new dream for YM 1st counselor for the ward
(we already have a president...close though). He is just such a friendly guy,
and when we went by to meet his family it was awesome. His wife (well not
quite, but in our contact he said "but we really want to get married like
really soon - well marcelo i think i can help with that) Pamela is awesome too.
They both have really busy schedules and busy work jobs but have such friendly
attitudes and are receiving us as much as they can. They have two boys,
Cristian and Benjamin. So I don't know if this will be a fast process or a slow
one, but either way, they are getting baptized in my time here. Im not letting
it not happen! Haha but its good stuff. He actually wrote on the back of our
"Families are Forever" passalong card "I love you Pamela, my
eternal companion" and gave it to her. hahaha like who does that??? They
are golden. Gold gold gold.
The zone is
awesome, i am happy, we are super blessed as a zone and have some great
baptisms coming up. Everyone is pulling their weight which is just the best
thing ever so we are united. Our "mascot" for the month or our name
is the "moronites" because we read a whole bunch of stories about
Moroni. So I had an idea to have army tryouts today for the Army of Moroni, and
we just played a whole bunch of games and painted our faces and were stupid. We
played hide and seek and everything, it was a blast. Things are just going
great here.
I love you
all. I truly love being a missionary. Its crazy how incredibly fast this time
has gone, but I'm enjoying it more every second and not letting a second slip
out of my hands. Its good to know that i have people at home (or in china -
ahem) who love me and who care about me, and that i just have to give it
everything and not worry about the rest. I love you fam. Thank for being such a
great support!
Elder Tengberg
and my companion
Elder Medina is honestly a riot. We joke around, fight so much and are always
playing jokes on each other. We´re doing awesome and he says hello too!
