Letter #27

hey fam! Great to hear from you! I agree that your letters are getting shorter.

Good to hear about your missionary work mom! Good to hear about everything thats going on at home! Glad to hear all is well, and i wish you all success this week!

Well, this was was kinda sucky becuase elder russon and i got sick! We ate some bad fish monday with some inactives, and then we ended up with stomach infeccions and couldnt leave the house wednesday or thursday, so it was a pretty uneventful week. It was pretty miserable, but we feel better now! The family robelino, the members that we are way close with that i sent a picture of a few weeks ago, gave us some good soup to help us feel better thursday night and we were all beter and ready to work friday. So unfortunelty we didnt get much work done, but we feel better and will start now! We found a nice family, the mother was baptized in the galaopgos islands, and the kids arent baptised, so we are going to work with them and get her active again so we can baptize her kids! The family medranda is doing good, they couldnt attend because the old man was too sick, but they are developing very strong testimonies! Also the family angulo are doing good, we hope to have a few baptisms here in the future. When we were sick, we just sat in the house and talked. it was so miserable, but we made the best out of it! we had a ton of fun laughing, running to the toilet every 15 minutes, and then back again! We made some good memories. I am really enjoying my companion. We are sad becuase we think we have the best companionship now then we will ever have in the whole mission, so that is kind of sad, but we are enjoying it while it lasts! We will definitely be friends after the mission.

Well, yeah, we are all good now and working hard! i am loving every second of the mission, even the sick seconds, and following what the lord wants. I know that as we continue to do what he asks, we will be blessed, so do your parts and the lord will do his!

I love you all so much! Have a wonderful week!

View From the Hill

How do we reduce the pressure and enjoy our families more? "...recognize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction. Author Anna Quindlen reminds us not to rush past the fleeting moments. She said "The biggest mistake I made {as a parent} is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of {my three children} sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less" (from "Daughters of God", Ballard April 2008; click on image for complete article)
