HOLA FAMILIA!!
I’m glad you had a great time on
vacation! I loved the pics and your emails! Thanks for writing! This week was
rough...But it’s going to get better! My comp got transferred to Parana and my
new comp is Elder Haderlie. He seems like a hard worker and I’m really excited
to be his companion.
This week in church we had three
investigators! Diego, is a members boyfriend, Susanna is a great lady that
needs to get married, and Alfredo is a funny guy with gold teeth that cant
read. We did a LOT of walking this week but were going to start being more
effective. I’m really excited for the changes in the Zone!
Elder Castillo told a really sweet
story that I loved. It goes like this.... “There is an Indian tribe that has
the tradition that turns boys into men. When they are 12 years old Their Dad
takes them out into the forest, they cut down a tree, and then the Dad
blindfolds his son and tells him that he must sit on the log throughout the
night without talking the blindfold off and that when he comes to get him in
the morning he will take off the blindfold. The son tried being brave and
throughout the night he heard animals go by him, trees swaying and branches
breaking. He got through almost the whole entire night and then got scared and
frantically took of the blindfold and found his Dad sitting on the other side
of the log. The Dad never left him. Little to the knowledge of the boy was that
he was there to watch over him the whole night." I loved this story because
we all have trials even though we cant see God, we know that he is helping us
in our time of need. He loves us so much that He will NEVER abandon us. He
makes us strong! I’m so grateful for a Father in Heaven that loves me so much
that He allows me to be tested so I can learn. Ether 12:27. Were so lucky.
Ether 12:27
And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I
give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for
all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before
me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
So this week we knocked on a door
and the guy opened the window and yelled at us saying that he doesn’t talk to
tall blonde guys. haha oh and I finally bought some more pants. :) I CANNOT
believe that Dee has less that 6 months left. INSANE. I miss that guy. So I
have a new obsession. I want to learn Portuguese REALLY BAD. I don’t know why.
Anyways, I don’t have any more time but I love you all so so much! THANK YOU!!
Elder Hjelmstad
