Hey I´m feeling a lot better now, and I´m almost not sick
anymore! So no need to worry! The members really took care of me. A few of them
even stopped by the apartment just to give me a remedy of medicine or a tea or
something. They´re so awesome. With Regaurds
to the package, everything is awesome! Those little books of Missionary answers
have helped me so much! I had a few questions and those things solved them
right up! Same with the songs. They´re
so awesome. It´s really nice to have a bunch of new music, thanks for doing
that. When Tean and Tance go on their missions they´ll be able to use all of
them! I´m starting a list too, of all the advice for their missions, so when
Tean gets closer to his mission, I´ll send it to you. Will you search the youtube video that I said
a few weeks ago, and search for the songs? I want to see if they can be bought
or sent to me somehow please! Or if you want, ask Josh or Charli to do it, i´m
sure they´d love to. The reason I wanted
the quadruple, is because I am going to read it cover to cover, The Old
Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl
of Grand Price. It´s gonna be awesome. I can´t wait. I´ve got it all calculated
out too, and If I want to read the whole thing in exactly one year, I have to
read 7 pages per day, which is sweet. I´m going to study it though, so I have a
feeling it´ll take a little longer than a year, because i´m going to mark them
up and search them, not just read to read.
All 2480 pages, not including the Topical Guide and Bible
Dictionary. I´m going to write down all
the insight and cool things I find. I´m excited. Some funny things that happened this week:
Argentines LOVE to talk. They talk A TON. So it´s a little
difficult sometimes to leave, when we have another leccion to go teach, and
sometimes we have to improvise. So this week we found out our cellphone has a
"Fake Call" function. And now we use it pretty much on a daily basis.
It´s great haha. We just push a button, and it starts to ring like a call. It´s
even better that we can speak english, so my companion will just whisper under
his breath "hey fake a call" and they have no idea he even said
anything, and then all of a sudden the phone rings. It´s pretty great. Also,
when I teach, I like to use a lot of examples to help people understand. For
example, when we explain you have to read, ponder, and pray to know if the
Libro de Mormon is true, I use the cake example. "Hermana, If we have a big cake here,
what do you have to do to know if it´s a good cake? You have to try it!"
Well I did this example this week with baptism, and one of the people told me....
"You can´t compare a baptism with cake, it just doesn´t work that
way" and began to tell me how that is a horrible thing that I´d compare
baptism with a cake. Haha it was hilarious. She was serious though, and didn´t
understand that it was just an example. But it was funny.
Yesterday Sergio got the Priesthood, and he´s super super
excited. It was so cool watching him get the priesthood. He was so excstatic to
be able to bless the sacrament. He has 22 years, and he acted like a 15 year
old. (Not in a bad way at all, just excited) It was pretty cool. I can´t wait to see him pass the sacrament.
Sergio is the one with the big Dread Locks, and he cut those off, but not his
whole hair yet, we´re still waiting for that. But I think he´ll do it. The
Family Almeida is going to get baptized this week! We´re really excited to have
some good pictures of them this next week when I write you all. It should be
really a great thing. THey´re so ready. They´´ve been ready for a few weeks
now. They haven´t missed one time going to church, even when it´s been freezing
cold, and this week we found out the mom only has 1 lung! How crazy. What a
sacrifice. IT´s really cool to see the change in them.
Thanks everyoen for everything. I love you all, Hope all is well. Sounds like
Tance´s birthday was awesome! I can´t beleive he´s 16! That´s so crazy to me.
You´ll have to send me a picture of the new car! Hope all is well, Hope the
summer is going good for everyone! Nos Vemos, Elder Allsup
