Letter to All:
This week was a great
week! Skyping the family was such an amazing Christmas present! Our
mission had a Christmas activity the 26th. We had a water balloon
fight, dodgeball, Velcro suits, and we celebrated the president`s birthday
which was a couple days later.
Today we went to a
nearby river and I heard monkeys (kongos is what they call them here) howling
but I didn`t see any they were deeper back in the jungle.
Nandaime is a pretty
big area, it`s split in half between 2 sets of missionaries and there are other
small neighborhoods that are 30minutes or so away by bus. There are a lot
of returned missionaries in this ward and some great members. But this
ward has a lot of work to be done. The members don`t help much but that
just means we need to gain the confidence of them.
This week was one of
ups and downs but it ended very well. We passed by Mariogenia`s house
Sunday morning and she said she wasn`t going to be able to come but later she
decided to come to church and she stayed the whole 3 hours, it was great to see
her deciding to take the correct path. A month or so ago she had a dream
being baptized in white clothing and she asked the Elders how we baptized and
they told her that we do it with white clothing. She`s progressing well
and excited to be baptized this Saturday we have another that`s ready
for baptism named Caterim.
This week should be
excellent; I pray we end it with baptisms!
Elder Willden
Happy New Year!
Make goals for the next year and really push yourselves all year to
complete them, not just the first 2 weeks of January haha!
