I was thinking this week that while I am so far away, missing you all so
much, I really feel myself growing closer to you in the most incredible
way. It is a weird feeling.
Un mal noticia. We
don't get to watch conference until the weekend after because it is
elections in Peru and they close the churches. I am more than a little
bummed. Hahahaha, just because Christmas is like conference. You know
what I mean. Hahahaha. Oh, well I will get over it.
This
week I have been hit by the power of the Book of Mormon. I think there
are two reasons that we have a mission rule to carry one in our hands at
all times. 1) is that it has a really hard spine, and although it may be
sacreligious, it is very effective when a dog attacks you and 2) there
is literal power in that blue book. Just opening it releases the Spirit. It is as if some of the shine of the gold plates is some how translated
into every paper copy. It is a beautiful, powerful thing.
If
anyone ever just needs to take the baby steps to get back where they
should be, just open that book. Something changes within you. One
investigator this week described it as lightning shooting up his arm
when we handed it to him. Amazing.
Hey, look up the song "That's the kind of day I wish for you." I think it is by Faith Hill. I love you all so much.
This
week an investigator told us he wanted to go to hell because he wants
to know what it is like, then he will just ask the demon for permission
to leave. Hahahaha. I died laughing. I love people so much it isn't even
funny.
Google pan chapla. I don't know what it
is or why I love it so much, but it is life changing. That and Inca Cola. Hahahahaha it might be a problem----
Well.. I
am writing real letters and sending them today!! I made a pact with
myself. Hahahaha so expect those :) I love you all so much it isn't even
funny. Next week's email will be longer, this week was kinda slow. Not
slow, just normal. I just love this work. It is beautiful. And I love
all of you :) so much.
I love you!
Lauren
