FAMILY!
How are you??????? I am with my new comp! Her name is Hna
Francia. She is from La Paz. She came last Tuesday, and she is freezing! She
has 15 months in the mission. She says that Cochabamba is so nice and warm and
they have washing machines there! Dang Gina...................
How are you all????? I am doing super good! My new comp is
super cool. She works so hard, which is good for me. I was kind of lax with Hna
Torres, but we are working really hard now. If all goes as planned, we will
have 4 baptisms this Saturday! It is that family that I was telling you about.
They all want to be baptized so so bad. We fasted Saturday for them, and she is
going to talk to her husband today for permission. They all need permission. We
are crossing our fingers! I love them all so so much.
I had another really cool experience this past week with a
woman who just recently moved to Potosi. She was baptized when she was 16, but
doesnt go to church anymore. She ran into us on the street and started talking
to us! It was proof that Heavenly Father puts people in your path. I have come
to learn in the mission that I really don´t do anything. It is completely the
Spirit and the Lord. We taught her the next day, and she is so ready to come
back to the church. Her sadness and guilt broke my heart. I felt the Spirit so
strong during our lesson. It was the first lesson that I have ever taught where
I didnt have to worry about what to say. I could feel the Spirit speaking
through me. It was amazing. I didnt have to worry about the words in spanish or
anything. It is an experience that I will never forget. We were fasting that
day for one of our investigators, so I know that this helped so much.
Hmmmm.........
Oh! I went to my first zone conference in Sucre this past
week as well. Mom. Sucre is so nice. It is so warm, and I hope I get to serve
there one transfer. It was really fun. We had to take a 4 hour bus ride with
all the missionaries from Potosi to Sucre. We didnt get home until about 1 am,
but it was fun. We had pizza on the bus. The missionaries in Potosi are all so
cool.
Today for Pday, we are having a mini mundial. You all know
that I have literally never played soccer in my whole life, but the elders
talked me into playing with them. They will regret that.... hahahah but it
should be fun. I am on Team Iran bahahahaha
Mundial here is so intense. Everyone talks about it.
Let´s see.... what else is new?
Oh... the title of my email. Yeah. Literally every meal with
members is fried chicken, potatoes, rice, soup, and for dessert.... jello.
EVERY TIME! It is good, but surprisingly I am getting so so sick of chicken. I
eat it every day. Rice and chicken. I feel like those people on the cruise
because all I eat is fried chicken and jello......... And it is so much
stinking food. Seriously. I feel like I am going to explode every meal with
members. Oi.........
What is new with all of you? How is summer? Are you all warm
and cozy while I freeze? This morning, I wash washing our dishes in freezing
cold water, and my hands literally almost fell off. They hurt so bad. Hey, but
it builds character, right???
Oh, did I mention that we are getting our new president this
week? We are all so sad to say goodbye to Pres Dyer, but are excited to meet
the new people, too. It should be interesting.....
Hm......... What else is there to say? We are working really
hard. Hna Francia is way strict. Like to the t. It is good, but sometimes a
little hard.... I am learning to be more diligent.
Oh! I am not sick anymore! For the first time in Potosi, I feel great. I can exercise again. I can breathe. I have my voice. My cough is gone. It is charla. I am getting used to life in Potosi, which is good.
I´m going to send this one off, and read some of yours. The
picture is of my comp and I on our way to Sucre!
Love
HNA ROUTSONG
