How are things in the States this week? I hope all is well! I hope you are feeling better too Caralyn!
Well, this week nothing too exciting happened... but it flew by super fast it seemed like! I cannot believe that I have been with Elder Lengruber for 3 weeks already! This cambio is going by fast. This week was a pretty difficult week in the work, but aside from all of that, it has been a pretty rewarding week! We have an investigator that is progressing really well... but this week is going to be the hard week for her. Her name is Yasna, I dont remember if iI have talked about her before in Email. She is working hard to be baptized at the end of this month.... but this week is going to be hard because she has to give up smoking. I have a 7 day plan to stop smoking that I gave her, and she is doing her best. She came to church Yesterday and she told me that she is dying, but she had a smile and thanked me so much for helping her. But she still has a long way to go to finish the week! But I know she will be fine, we are going to keep in good contact with her and give her encouragement!
Roberto came to church early this Sunday! I was so happy to see him in Church! Haha! Next week he will be ordained as a priest. I´m pretty excited! He makes me laugh and I am so happy to see him in Church! He is always ready and willing to do the right thing! I never would have thought that I would have a convert that is 72 years old! Well, this sunday one of the counsolers in the Bishopric asked me to give a talk 5 minutes before church started. O.o I dont like giving talks in the first place... and in Spanish! Yikes! Well... it turns out I gave a 20 minute talk! Haha, I wasnt that nervous either! Craziness! Okay... I was a little nervous... but still!
So, here in Temuco is really really really cold now... Cold cold COLD! I love the cold, but the mornings are not too fun! I have to bundle myself up in a lot of things to stay warm! And all the people use wood burning stoves here, and all the pollution doesnt leave... so there is a really not so fun haze of deliciousness in the air all the time now. But I am surviving! The past few days my stomach hasnt been feeling well and I have felt really week and I have had a small fever... but all you can do is keep going! I am doing my best and enjoying all that I can! I love you all! I hope you are all well! I love you Caralyn, so much! Muah! I hope you are feeling better my love! Take care everyone!
Con mucho amor,
Elder Garrett!
