11/12/2012 “Hard and Sad Week”…
Dear Family,
Yes, I did receive the bad news that "G.G." is
in the hospital and that she has had a stroke. . It hurts. She is strong though. It makes me
want to be better. I don’t know why, but I just feel that I need to keep
fighting if she’s fighting.
Momma says;
I know it makes you
put things into perspective. What really is important and again, it is always
family and living righteous.
Chad say;
Momma says;
Yes, you are right. We are doing something
right, to be able to have a family and to be sealed to each other forever. What
a blessing!
I hope things start to look better for "G.G.". I am selfish but, I
want her to stay here for a little bit longer. She is the best! I
just don't know what Heavenly Father has in store for her…
Chad says;
I wish I could be
there with her. But like you said, Dios(God) knows better than we do so, he’s the
one that controls everything and knows why.
Momma says;
After I am finished
writing to you, I am headed up to Mercy Hospital. I will give her
a kiss from you if you would like.
Chad say;
I
would like that a lot!
Momma says;
Done deal! I will
talk to her about you and then I will give her a big kiss from you. She will
like that a lot. I have decided today when I get into her room I am going to
sing to her and just talk to her as if she were awake. I feel she can hear me
and felt prompted to do so last night.
Chad says;
Pray before you do it. Then you will know what
to say to her.
Momma says;
“I am, a very
blessed mom”…
Chad says;
I am too momma, to have such a wonderful mom and dad that
have helped me through a lot. I am not the perfect son. I have a lot to work on,
but I am going to try as hard as I can to be someone better. To be the person
that God expects me to be. I just want to keep working hard and being better
than I am. I have taken so much for granted and I haven’t appreciated anything.
Now, that I am in the mission, I can see what I need to do and I am trying to be
better. I know that the Lord expects a
ton from me and I need to be prepared.
I love you momma. I am very happy with everything I have and what I have
done, but I just have to keep pushing until the end of my life. I think that’s
what I have gained in the mission field the most.
Well, this week went really really fast. In
the blink of an eye it was Saturday. Martes(Tuesday)
we had a lesson and then we had to wash our clothes. After that we went to eat then
went back to pick up our clothes, pack and then we were off to Leon which is 3
hours away from us. We got to Leon went and ate and then went to bed… (A very
long day…) The next morning we had a big junta(board) and it lasted for about 5
hours. We ate a ton of food. But, I have been having some pains in my ear and
head so, I talked to a hermana(Sister) and she told me to go to the doctors. I
went to the doctors and the doctor said; that I have blood in my ear...my
eardrum popped. Don’t worry I got medicine and it’s a ton better. We went home a 3 hour drive that night and
had to capacite (train) the next morning for 4 more hours and then we planned
and ate.
We have been
working with a lot of refernecias(references), Because they told us that we cannot
knock doors or contact people on the streets so, we have been working with
puras referencias (pure references). We
have found a lot people but, also some pretty crazy people. Ha ha But, it comes
with the work after that we prepared for a baptism and everything went against us.
The water did not fill all the way up....and my comp and I had to go into the
water to help the hermano(brother) baptize his family because, he has problemas(problems)
with his back. It was pretty awesome. It also was weird and cold but awesome.
We confirmed them Sunday and everything went smoothly. But today we just played
fut(football), washed clothes and now we are writing our families. That was my week. Hope you enjoyed my
exciting week menu… ha ha
I am great I am working hard. I will keep "GG" in my prayers and in my heart. I love you all and hope you have a great week J
Love Ya…
