Ill get to that
INTERCAMBIO
WITH ELDER JENSEN!!!!! Oh my goodness that was the best..... We milked
10 alfajores.....I think that took 4 years off my life, but it was so
worth it!
There's this menos activo family (La familia
ventura) (they actually all came to church this week!!!!! That made us
pretty stoked) who's mom makes american (MERICA!) style cookies and
cupcakes for a living! THEY ARE SOOOO GOOD! we walked in one day to find
her making 240 normal sugar cookies in the shape of uruguay for the
west mission..... weve got to start talking to our president about
her...... she gave us one and it totally made me trunky for 20 seconds.
I
love it when lunch cancels, we talk to one of our good friends in the
ward, and he decides to throw us a big asado! Im in love with churriso!
Okay,
more spiritual now. I have gained two new grand heros in my life this
week (okay, they were already my heros, but this just made them even
better). My dad and BrotherSchetselaar. I have reacently learned the importance of Home teaching and
Visiting teaching. DO IT!!! Really the church has put these things in order for a reason.
One of the big problems that I have found here is that many people feel
as
if they have been abandoned, others are talking bad about them, or that
there is no one there for them in the chapel. Satan latches onto that,
magnifies it, and turns it into a "I know the gospel is true, but Why
cant I just worship from my house. I feel fine here." A lot of people
stop coming. On top of that, it helps combat the destuction of someones
name, we found this week a sister who doesnt go to church because she
works on sunday, however, as we were talking to some members they began
talking about some untrue horrible things that apparently she has been
doing. She hasnt. We checked it out, and it was a really bad situation.
Part of the problem was that no one has been visiting her but us, and
has learned her story. Please do your home teaching and visiting
teaching. My dad and brother Schetselaar were my companions and they
always kept up on top of it. They are both super amazing.
We
also had a really interesting charla with a young wayward child this
week. She, in this moment, doesnt have a testimony. She did in the past,
she said herself that she used to be so certain about the gospel.
However on her 18th birthday she began doing things contrary to the
standards of the lord. the Spirit left her life and with it her
testimony. Really, we learn in moroni 10:4 and 5 (classics) that we gain knowledge through the spirit and if we have the spirit we can really
know what is true. That was a fascinating charla that really got me
thinking. Haha it was pretty great when my comp began relating an old
seminary video to her about light and truth, That made me smile.
Anyways,
yall are amazing. Ive got to go. Hope you have a great week! Shout out
to austin lopez who enters the MTC this week! YOU GOT THIS BUDDY!!!!!:D
