Lluvia

Well, well, well look who's back. Hows it going? Hope everyone is doing fantastic, I sure am acá en Simoca, not exactly sure how to explain it all, but lets give it a whirl shall we. (Lo siento for the rushed email last week, here goes another one, exactly one hour on the clock, lets go). Lunes/Lunes When you give a Elder Brizuela a Cookie: We made cookies last P-Day, it was really fun, and they turned out all right for being measured soley by eye. A little bready, but cookies, you can't go wrong(actually you probably could). Prayer for Prayer Got an epic scripture from an even more fuego missionary in Orem last week, you should read it 2Nefi4 (highlights 16-30, but the whole thing is fantastico) Martes/Tuesday Tienda Guy: Met a guy in a tienda, and he talked with us and then got around to his one big issue/question with churches, theres so many different ones, with different beliefs and variations, how am I supposed to believe in one. As you started to explain this, I sure hope theres a replay camera in heaven because my gosh it'd be so funny to watch the look on my face, I was like, This Is THE Question. A Dramatic Analogy Here Of course we gave him the answer, it was a great moment. Miercoles/Wednesday Power of Prayer: Needed a ride from a make-shift uber this day to be able to visit the Romano family, but after calling like 12 we couldn't get any to respond, none. So we said a prayer, and literally as we finished, we got a call from one of our driver friends Sebastian, coming in clutch. He pulled up to us in literally under 20 seconds, like he was just waiting for this moment. Always remember we can pray, in any moment, Alma37:37, and God wants to hear from us. Y tambien, that we can be the answers to the prayers of others, should always prepare to be that answer. Templo:The Salta Temple is getting close. Possibly Julio, epicó. I´m so excited for the opportunity that will bring so many families here in Simoca, and it makes me more motivated to work to find more families that will be able to be blessed by the eternal covenants and blessings we can receive individually and with our families in the temples. So cool. Jueves/Thursday LLLLLLLLUUUUVVVVVIIIIIAAAAA: Lluvia/Rain. We finally got rain. It made me so happy, Elder Brizuela used an umbrella, but naturally I did not. I was loving it, bdup bup dup baaa. Might have skipped and danced down the streets a bit. Viernes/Friday The days are starting to mesh together a bit. Not completely, but the time is picking up now that days are a bit more routine. It's just normal once you get familiar with what every day looks like. So I'm trying to focus more on each moment, and make the days special, focus on the people more. Sabido/Saturday Rosa: Almorzabamos con hermana Rosa está día. (We really gotta get a verb for eating every meal in ingles, it's just way to cool. Almorzabamos. Especially pasado/nosotros, literally look at it, Almorzabamos. Too cool). Anyone, we had milanesa, it was really good, got to learn how to make that. She is an amazing inspiracion for me because she has been waiting 30 years to be baptized. We're hoping everything will work out this week so that she can receive this blessing in her life. But it is such an example of faith, endurance, and paciencia. And I know that the Lord gives us trials in our lives to test and build our faith, and for reason we may not understand in that time in our lives. To help others possibly in that time, to help others later in our lives, and/or to strengthen ourselves. Domingo/Sunday Christmas Music: Its like the nativity festival every sunday. Every week we've sung a Christmas song(or what we'd normally consider one), it's really fun, I love it. This week was Come Let Us Adore Him. Sunday was really spiritual, and we had a good amount of our friends come and stay this sunday. Pizza Time: Had Fresh Italian pizza with a few amigos for almuerzo sunday. And talked about the importancia de familias. And family prayer and scripture study. Food is a great thing to center that around, but in general. And how those things can unite a family more, help us to grow together, and is key because the family is central to God's plan for us. 3Nefi18:18-21 Hoy/Today Lots of cleaning the pension, it needed it, since I've got there, it's really needed it. And Last week we cleaned a good bit, but this week, we cleaned to till the cows came home. Made some fire burgers with eggs and queso fresco hoy, muy rico. So excited this coming weekend for General Conference! Literally never been more excited for it in my life, the talks, the music, todo. It's so amazing that we have living prophets and apostles this day. I invited you all to watch, and to invite a friend too. Invitatacion: Make your favorite snack/dessert and invite a friend or family to watch part of conference with you, or send them your favorite talk from this conference ¿Can you all do that? Epicó Seeya, next week. Let me know how it goes. I need a new name tag: Elder Lleperd
