HEllo family!!
Mom, happy birthday!! Sorry i didn´t tell you last week! But I hope
you had a good day and that it wasnt taken over too much by other
stuff. Sounds like you got to enjoy it more after.
Ok, the ward here is big, like in the U.S. But this is the only ward i
ahve been in that is like that. The other wards i have been in would
probably be branches in the US.
The bulidings are nice but just different. Things break a lot and dont
get fixed. Also the members get the churches really dirty every week.
i don´t know how exactly but its pretty gross. Most of the churches
have 2 halves with a hallway between. One half is all the classrooms
and the other half is the chapel/cultural hall. There´s no basketball
court inside, just tile for parties. There is always a
basketball/football court outside, of concrete.
I still haven´t gotten the packages.. hopefully this week... it´s my
zone leader´s fault i think since they haven´t been to the offices in
2 weeks to get mail.
Thanks for sending that little part of the ensign... we don´t get them
anymore in the mission!! they decided not to renew it! Boo!!
Today we went to the zoo as a zone. it was pretty fun. They don´t
really have many animals. Mostly birds and snakes and turtles. But
they did have leopards and a bear. It was fun to be with the zone.
Saturday is the baptism of Cristina! She had her interview yesterday
and passed. This week we went like on tuesday,a nd she said that she
was having lots of doubts, and so we told her she needed to pray and
ask God, which she hadn´t done yet. We told her we would call her the
next morning. So we did and she said she got an answer and that she´s
getting baptized for sure!! She said she felt something really special
and started to cry a little. She is going to be a great member of the
church and who knows, may bea misisonary!
i feel happy about the work right now because we have lots of
investigators, and we always have investiagttors at church on sundays.
We are finding that some are not actually interested in baptism ,but
we always find the people who are! I love the ward here it´s like a
home for me, beause the members are so wonderful. I´m gonna be sad to
leave it!
We didn´t get to do what we planned with Tati and Julio, but it´s ok.
We have plans this week. We did talk to Tati for a while and she told
us why she doesn´t want to marry Julio-- it´s for the drinking. If he
changes she will marry him or if not she says she will separate. I
hope we can help him stop drinking. He is a super nice guy, just has
this one vice.
We got a reference from the hermanas in paraiso of this guy named
walter, and we visited him this week and he´s so crazy! i odn´t know
how to describe him... but he´s from peru and just kind of lives very
free.. we told him he should pray at night and to remember, he wrote
it on his hand ORAR... it was pretty funny.
My comp was sick this week... she had a sore throat and headache. I
kind of got sick on the same day too with a super congested nose... so
we stayed home and slept for a day. H. Hernandez goes crazy when we
can´t go out to work though. It was hard convincing her that she is
too sick to go out to work. Also... we went to the knee doctor for
her. Her left knee was bugging her a bit. He prescribed an x ray, mri,
some pills etc,,, then we ran into insurance problems because the
doctor filled out the paper work wrong.. but we got it fixed and have
to go back in this week to see what the dr. says.
so this week is going to be crazy. we have
-mission conference
-knee doctor appointment
-interviews with president calderon
-cristina´s baptism.
-a full schedule of appointments and plans to put baptism dates on a few people
i always appreciate your prayers for me and for the work and for the
people i teach.
Well, know that I love all of you! proud of all of you too and the
things you are doing.
have a great week.
love Hna. Tibbitts
