Well, another week out here in the
mission and it was great. I´m loving being here with Hermana Folsom.
Everyone wonders what President was thinking putting two crazy hermanas
together, but we love it because we are laughing about 90% of the time.
She is awesome. Plus, she is from Seattle which is will always be a
special city to me. We never run out of things to talk about.
Linda sure is progressing. She came last time and
said she read the whole pamphlet we gave her but wanted some explanation.
We only wanted her to read the first part, so she is incredible. It´s
fun teaching in English and trying to teach it out of a Chinese Book of
Mormon and pamphlet. We are going to try to explain baptism this next
time with her so wish us luck!
We had zone meeting and it was possibly the best
zone meeting I have had on my mission. Hermana Folsom and I started it out
with talking about having more hope in the mission. Hope, that everything
will be okay. A quote that we heard from Hermana Deere was, ¨In the end,
it will all be okay, and if it isn´t okay, then it is not the end.¨ That hit
all of us hard. It was good to go over with everyone because it seems
that everyone is just giving up hope. So we are working with them! And
plus I got to talk about Lord of the Rings in it and still keep it
spiritual so that was a bonus. After, our zone leaders did an incredible
job. We talked about obedience, but in a different way than usual. We
got in a circle and we all just talked about it. Everyone participated
and we all put in our input. The zone leaders did it in a great way because they showed
us that they have their trials with obedience as well, so it was
comfortable for everyone to talk about how they really feel with it.
Really, a great zone meeting.
After, we had splits with the hermanas in Cordoba.
When we were finished we all ended up in Cordoba to switch back. Our
train was suppose to leave at 3, but because of an accident we ended up
leaving there at 7! Whew, we were going crazy in that little station. We
literally got home and fell on the floor and couldn´t get up for a
while. Love being home.
Last night we had a really good lesson with a less
active and his wife. His name is Amelio. He use to be very, very
inactive. Didn´t want absolutely anything to do with the church and
wouldn´t let missionaries come over. But over time he has been opening
up to us. It´s been a long journey with him, but now he is open to us. He was just diagnosed with Parkinsons and he just doesn´t
understand why. He feels that he is finally opening up to the gospel
again so why would the Lord give him something like this. We prepared a
lesson on adversity and why the Lord gives us trials and what we can do
during the trials. Whew, the Spirit was strong! It was good for him and
as well as for me. That is something that I have been learning from my
mission more than anything. When I plan for these people, I learn so
stinking much and a lot of times I think it might be benefiting me more
than it does them, haha. But I hope it helps them sometimes. Anyway,
Amelio sure is an awesome guy.
Well, let´s see, I think that might be all for now.
Oh, haha I swear I didn´t mean to do this but we had interviews with
President this past week and we ended up talking about the Hobbit the
whole time. But it wasn´t my fault! I know you all think I must have
started it, but he started with a joke about me not being able to see it
and then we ended up talking about it the whole time. Love our
President.
Alright everyone, love you all and appreciate you all. Hope all is well at home and hope you all celebrated the day of the woman on Saturday :) Thanks for everything!
Hermana Kunz
