that’s not the trunkiest subject line! jaja
Hello Everyone!
In answer to your
question, I think I will email you one more time next week, but I`m not sure.
This just may be my last email of the mission! Ah... no pressure or anything...
So. How am I? I would be
lying to say it hasn`t been a pretty hard week. But, those hard weeks are just
as much a part of the mission as the good ones.
Raul and Marina won`t be
getting married or baptized this week. We went to sign them up for their
marriage only to find out that on the birth certificate of Raul it was missing
his second last name....and that is something that will take about one month to
fix. So it will be postponed for about one month. sigh....Marina and I cried
together in the municipalidad for a good ten minutes, but what can we do? I had
to humble myself and realize that the important part isn`t that I would be
present in the wedding or baptism, si no that the important part is that they
will be getting baptized when they are ready, and prepared. They promised to
send pictures through facebook. :)
Good news, An hermana
that we have been working with since my first week will be getting baptized
this saturday :) Hna Rut. I am so happy for her!
I also had the
opportunity to go back and visit Independencia and Begonias this last week. It
was incredible being able to see so many people I love! Goodbyes are always
hard, but thats why we`ve got facebook and skype :)
I hope you
have all had the opportunity to ``sharethegift`` or as we say here in Peru,
``compartir la dadiva``. I am really grateful i have had the opportunity to be
a missionary still and contact in the streets with the little cards and share
my testimony of Jesus Christ in this Christmas time. He is the reason for the
season, El es la Dadiva.
I hope you all are doing
well, and that you have a wonderful week!
Como siempre,
Hermana Shelton
This picture just kind
of says it all....
