Familia,
This week has been okay. Surprisingly successful given i've
been on drugs since Thursday. Thats right, I'm sick again. I know its super
surprising. I have bronchitis once again. The nurse practitioner was floored
when i told her I've never smoked nor did I grow up in a home with smokers.
Maybe bad lungs are genetic? Either way,
the drugs they put me on basically make me a zombie missionary. So Hermana
Milliron is being a pro missionary and i'm just following her around. But we
had some good appointments, and picked up some investigators that had
disappeared for a couple of months.
The investigators we found were Graciela and her daughter
Lizette. I can't remember if I've told you about them, but they are super
awesome. Graciela was a referral from a member in Aurora. She is a seventh day
adventist and the single mom of 2 kids. She has a TON of faith and has seen
some super legit miracles. Its a little
difficult teaching her though, because she is super super busy. So the last
time we saw her was in July. Also its difficult teaching her because her
beliefs are so close to our beliefs that its a little difficult to really help
her understand how we're different, and what it means. Like she believes in prophets, and believes
that Joseph Smith was a prophet, and that the Book of Mormon is true, she just
doesn't believe that that means that there is only one true church. But she is
a super sweet lady, and I love visiting with her. I feel like I learn a lot
from her whenever we visit.
The Armenta's are good. We finally had a little bit of a
breakthrough with Patty and figured out a little bit of whats holding her back
from being baptized. She basically feels like she's half Catholic, and half
Mormon, because her dad is Catholic, and her mom Mormon, and she likes what she
learns at our church, but she just doesn't really have any desire to get
baptized any time soon. Also our ward mission leader confusing the crap out of
her with the stupid stuff he says doesn't help. But she and her sister still
want to learn, are still at church every week, and HOPEFULLY will finally start
reading the Book of Mormon.
Imelda finally has been feeling a little bit better and made
it to church! So that was a miracle.
So overall, we didn't have a bad week. Hopefully the next
one will be better. :)
I love you tons, hope all is well.
Les Quiero,
Shaelyn
