The week has been, as usual, quite interesting. Elder Brown left, putting me in a trio with Elder Wilde and Elder Ramirez (greenie). I also spent tuesday and wednesday in a leadership conference, where I learned a lot and participated a lot. Once again I saw videos of J Tyler and a number of others, and it was an overall good experience. However, it meant I didn`t get to see Bruno this week, so we really don`t know what`s happening with him. He didn`t go to church either.
On the brighter side, we met a family (a reference from the ward) that says that they want to get baptized and find where God wants them to be. The girl had a priesthood blessing (she has kidney problems) before we found out about them and is determined to be baptized. We met them briefly Saturday and they went by themselves Sunday (and they live WAYYYY out in the boonies) so this could be very, very good. We`re going to do everything we can to help them feel God`s love and find these answers to their prayers and doubts.
Independence day we couldn`t do anything, and had to be in our houses by 7pm. We were also prohibited from going to any independence related activities. We ended up making french toast though, which was pretty tasty. Apparently, at midnight everybody in Mexico gives a big shout. I didn`t hear anything, but I think everyone screamed louder and in more unison when Mexico scored goales in the world cup.
So tomorrow I complete 11 months. I don`t want to be halfway done with the mission, but if that`s how it`s gotta be, that`s how it`s gotta be. Hopefully I can do much more than match what I`ve done up until now. I`m also trying to figure out how to implement my talents more in the work and implement more of who I am into what I do. Ideas?
Yep, I keep in pretty good contact with everyone that writes me. I always try to respond to every email I get. Ashley seems to be having a good time getting a footing on college, and I know the job opportunities will come.
Well, time to split!
Love,
Elder Lund
