This is me right after verifying with the sisters in San ramon by
cell phone and right before verifying with the zone leaders that live with us.
This is the shirt I got in my last area "Rocha" has all our names on the
back.
Yeah... i know i was trying to flex... and haha, you can see it´s
been hard to do work outs here. haha. :) But the main focus of the photo is the
shirt! haha. Elder Chumpitaz, our zone leader in Rocha designed shirts before
the mission, so he designed it for us and we had a members son in my area that
could print them off. :) Ended up turning out great!
This is our house, in the left corner (See my comp?) and that is the
church... ten steps away. :)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Wow... to be honest, it’s been a while since one of your
letters has brought me to tears... but that one hit me right square in the
heart! :) I stand amazed at how wonderful my family is in the
gospel... there is absolutely NOTHING that is more valuable to me. Thank
you so much for being so worthy of the Holy Ghost and for following his
promptings. I am totally reading that to my comp. I love hearing
about your spiritual experiences so much!!! It has been a great week here in Uruguay.
WE HAVE MIRACLES ON THE WAY!!!! Keep Macarena and Sebastian in your
prayers! :) Macarena is going to be the first baptism for my comp
and the first baptism in this area for the both of us. She is progressing
so beautifully! Yesterday we had one of the most beautiful lessons with
her. We invited our ward mission leader and his future wife to join us in
the lesson. Our WML is a returned missionary and the lesson was FILED by
the spirit! Promises and blessings pouring out from my mouth as well as
my companions, coupled with powerful testimonies of Richard and Noelia.
Macarena has been investigating the church for years now but hasn’t ever
been baptized because she has been living with her boyfriend. She wants
to be baptized so badly and she is now on track to achieve it! She has
two young boys, one age 7 and one age 3. Yesterday’s charla ended with
strong invitations and goal setting so that she understands the next steps.
She seemed a little worried that things wouldn’t go as smoothly as we
promised, but trusted us and decided to talk to Sebastian last night... he has
never shown desires to get married. We were praying for her all last
night and all this morning. We started the day as usual with leadership
meetings and p-day. When we happened to find Sebastian in the busy part
of town! We stopped and talked to him for a bit, and he BLEW us a way
when he said that they had recently come out of the Government building with
ALL the paperwork necessary to get married!!! Macarena was around the
corner and we talked to them both as we congratulated them and made sure everything
was good for the charla tomorrow and our Family Home Evening. Wednesday
they should be "Taking out a date" for marriage and we are so
STOKED!!! :)
Love you all!!
Elder Reay
