Hey Mom!
Holy smokes I love the pictures. Jacob looks so grown up, kind of freaks me out a little bit lol. Yesterday was sundayand I made an effort with my hair and make up and someone told me that I look about 24 years old.... ugh. Has the mission aged me!? Be honest.. Anyways, How crazy is that! We are all out the country learning and spanish haha. So awesome. I have been praying a lot for your well being this week! Hopefully it hasnt been too weird. I am glad you have John! This week went awesome.... during the week haha. We have some really good investigadors right now. I am pretty much posotive Iris and Darinel will get baptized in this transfer. We have aothers that are really awesome people but that are progressing a lot slower. havent quite understood the importance of the gospel. One of those investigadors is Christopher, holy smokes that kid makes me want to pull my hair out! He is so awesome mom, and we found him in an awesome way. He ALWAYS reads and says his prayers an he has finally started going to church with us and went to a family home evening we had last night. Anyways, he is awesome, but he says he doesnt feel like he needs or wants to be baptized. We think he is scared to make the changes. But at the same time I know he hasnt been able to fully understand the restauration. Anyways, honestly one of the most frustrating things in the mission is meeting people who are so so special and that feel the spirit in the lessons but they still decide not to accept it.... we are going to keep teaching him and see what happens! Pray a lot for Hermano Christopher so God can touch his heart!
Funniest thing the other day we were walking down the street and a guy comes up to us and gives us alittle card, we accepted it and he flipped it over and it said something about how he was deaf and was asking for money. He was a super strange character but his acting wasnt very good because I started talking to him and well.... he obviously understood and heard everything that I said haha. So I guess he needs to practice a little more. We had divisons with some of the hermanas this week and I was with hermana cook. That is the second DAY in my whole mission that I have worked with an american, but it was super fun. She is the hermana that is like world class violin player and is studying music at the university of utah. In all the lessons she sang the alto part of the hymns and it was super fun. Everyone made us sing more than one hymn lol. I cannot tell you how much I would have liked to know how to play piano during my mission. I need to really work for that goal when I get home because I am sure learning now is going to be a lot harder than before but you should ask around if there is someone that would be willing to give me lessons. And then you can help me practice lol, but the whole lessons with your mom thing never works how we want it to lol. And we should start playing out flutes more, I dont want to forget how!
Hmmmm...what else happened this week. not sure what else to write right now. It was a good week and we are working lots. I love my area and everything about being here. I am just happy and going to enjoy what I have left! I love you tons! Have an amazing week and hopefully you are online for a second!
Love, Hermana Baer
