| ELDER FOSTER DOING HIS OWN LAUNRDY |
AHHH YOU ONLY HAVE ONE WEEK LEFT OF SCHOOL!!! It is crazy to think about what I was doing this time last year looking into the military and not knowing what in the world I was going to do with my life, but then I met Bracken, he wrote me and told me he is selling again and it was about this time we met each other and wanted me to know I was [one respectable sexy man] haha in the words of him.... But wow I remember it like it was yesterday and all I have to say is please enjoy it because it goes and wont come back, but there is hope, the missionary life is way better than any other time of life thus far! The truth is I would rather be here doing this than anywhere else!
Sounds like you guys are having a great time with rodeo and all that includes, I am glad your shopping around for a truck cause heaven knows we need something new. The expedition is on its last wheel.... literally.
I am glad you have so much support from the family and friends in your rodeos Tate and McCray keep up the hard work and the rest will come your way in time, I am learning that here in the mission
We kinda had a rough week but wow it was amazing and we learned a lot and are moving forward with faith, we had plans to have a huge transfer and here we are the last week with four baptisms.
What a blessing to have four when other parts of the world that is more than they have in their entire mission.... But we had good plans and dates to have 8 and the Lord knew that.. This week we had the other 4 baptismal dates fall and wont be baptised this transfer... 2 because they didn't make it to church and the other 2 because they feel something different... I don't understand what they felt that caused them to feel otherwise but it literally made me sick and i spent the night crying in prayer with my companion because we don't know what changed... But the truth is we lost those dates and are now searching and working with other progressing investigators for the next transfer.... The good thing is we have 2 possible baptisms for this end of the week and as i was reading in Alma the story of Alma and Amulek we read [ we are blessed according to our faith]... We are praying and going to do all we can to Baptise Maraline Deluqui and Jorge Rodrigez... I love a challenge and here 1 has been placed before us... How do we handle challenges? With a good attitude a smile and hard work and communication with Dios we will get through anything!!!!
I am so glad to hear Tanner might go back out! Oh I love Katie and Bracken so much I learned so many life lessons from them and I will forever owe them for taking me in like their son/friend/brother this last summer! And I'm excited that Andy finally found the one he was looking for!!!!
I was thinking and I thought of a couple more things that they don't have here in Argentina that you could send if you want but really I don't need...They don't sell stick deodorant... and I gave a bottle of the gorilla gel to one of my converts but I really like that gel.... so if you have more at the house I would love it... a bottle lasts me about 3 or 4 months...3 if i don't cut my hair... 4 if i keep it short! Oh and I bought a jacket from my card today I hope that is okay... It is really nice and water proof and was 270 pesos which is like 65 American dollars! I also am going to cut my hair today!!!
Also if you could PLEASE PLEASE send photos and news paper clippings of Tate and i playing football... I would love to show off my little brother in the news papers! Tate your a stud and i know your going to tear it up this year!!!!
Elder Quackenbush is prob going to leave this next week and honestly I am really sad he has helped me so much with my spanish because he speaks like a native and can help me understand why spanish translates the way it does... Also he doesn't know this but I look up to him so much... He has a difficult companion and I admire his charity and love for him... He is humble and very real and genuine and he and I have a lot in common... Like we aren't picky... if we are cooking and drop something... we will just eat it... And he always makes funny comments like... The lord blesses his missionaries as he puts the germ infested food in his mouth... hahaha!
In my studies this week i studied alot Charity... I LOVE Charity... The pure love of Christ... In 2 timothy it tells us we are not given the spirt of fear but the oposite... Love... I have so much room to improve... I talk to all the people i can but right before i feel this burst of fear and embarrassment.. but i do it anyways.. when i don't feel that i will feel much better about my ability to love... In 2 Nephi 33 3 and 4 i learned that Nephi felt the same way i did when we lost those baptismal dates this week... I love the gift of charity because it includes so many things.. Patient, not being prideful, not being bugged, suffering our trials... And it seems impossible to not ever let little things even bug us... but we are promised if we [pray with all the energy of our hearts we can develop this charity]!
This is my email for the week and I'm so thankful for your emails! I love each of you and look forward to your next one! Have a good week and know you have a son and brother who loves you and is praying for your bienestar (well being) here in Argentina!!! I love my mission, i love my name tag, I LOVE these people, I LOVE this language and I LOVE this gospel!!!!
