Hola Familia! ¿Como Andan?
How is everyone? Things out in Tucson? out in Yuma? Hawaii?
How you guys been?
Things here have been awesome, workin hard like always out
here in Trujui. This past week was pretty good. We didnt have as much success
as we hoped for but an all around good weeek. We came up a little short
on some of our goals but we found some new investigators and things with our
progressors are gong really well. We have this lady Sandra, her and her 2 kids
are getting baptised on the 25th and their seriosuly amazing, so prepared and so
like spiritually in tune. We go over to her house the other day a little before
our appointment and her and here 12 and 13 year old kids are reading the
scriptures together at the table, It was awesome! LIke the best feeling in the
world , like to see her family doing this together. The gospel is such an
amazing thing, it seriosuly does change people, espesially families!
Sturday: We had our baptism for the familia FRENANDEZ!!!!!!!
It was way legit, along with the conformation the next day was like one of the
most spiritual experiences iv ever had. It was awesome because like for the
actual baptism the ward helped out so much and like everyoine was included and
like genuinly was there to get everythig ready for this special night, to
welcome these peolpe into our ward family. THe dad and 2 of the kids got
baptised , completing their whole family as members of the church. The dad
Julio has had some major struggles in his life and through this whole process
but to see him like finally get to this day that hes been waing for, like
rocked my world. As we were helpin him get into the baptism cl0oths he bore
like the most genuine and heartfelt testiomony to me and my companion about how
grestfully he was for this. MOments like that seriously make all the hard time
worth it. All the walking, the rejections, everything, Worth it. After he came
out of the water his smile and the smile of the whole family was absolutely
pricelss! They were so happy. After the service we had some nice talks and a
welcoming into the ward. We took lots of pictures so keep an eye out for
those, ill be sendin out my memory card soon. The next day in church during the
comformation, like seriously incredible. The spirit was so strong and like an
almost sereal experience for us all. LIke after the blessing I just looked up
and Blackburn and we just knew, like it was crazy. We like literally just gave
this man the most preciosue and pricelss gift ever, but it wasnt even us, it
was the Lord giving him this gift, through us. LIke i cant even describe how
amazing that was. SOmething that like you never forget, no matter what.
Things between me and Elder Blackburn are goingn pretty
good. ha ha our personalities are pretty different but were getting along well.
no big problems. Hes a way funny guy and a way good missionary. He is from iowa
so .. you know what that means ha ha bUt I love this guy to death. Were workin
hard and doin work out here in the best mission in the world!
So its the end of winter here and the really rainy part of
the year. It rained alot this wek, close to every day and a couple of days it
was coming down prety hard. Its funny caus elike theres not draining systems
for the water so it just piles up in the streets, like little lakes. HA ha when
its actually rainng too it gets pretty insane, The hils and the streets
are seriously like rivers. Iv got some good pictures you guys will love!
seriosuly though, that rain coat a few times has literally saved my life. like
when it rains here it poours and it gets pretty cold too. IM surving though.
Were planning our temple visit for this saturday so were
pretty stoked for that. Were bringing like 6 of our investigators along
with la familia Fernandez so it should be a good time. I hear its
absolutely spectacualar. LIke thats all any member of the church talks about
down here so its gonna be sweet to finally see for myself. From our area its
like a 2 hour ride on colectivo (bus) each way but i know itll be worth it !
Ill be sure to take lots of pictures.
Missions are crazy, like you grow up so fast and learn so
much about not only the gospel but yourslelf. They make you apreciate the small
things and really everything. I want you guys to know how truely thankful I am
for each one of you individually . LIke You guys seriosuly mean the world to
me. I think and pray for you guys alwyas and seriosuly miss you so much. Thats
the thing though like thats crazy! Like I know this is where i need to be and i
know that its hard for us all but like literally there is no better thing I
could be doing for me life right now. I wish so bad that i could see you guys
but like I know thwçere is a time and a place for everything. Right now is my
time to serve and to help the peope of Argentina come unto Christ the best way
I can. When I do get to see you guys though itll honestly just make it that
much better..... Summer 2014!!!! Gonna be sick!!!!! KNow that I nlove you guys
like crazy and am makin you all proud out here.
I hope you all have a great week, wherever you may be in the
world. Say your prayers, be good, work hard, but make sure to have fun. Thats
all i wish for you guys. Thats my modo and its workin pretty good for me out
here. IM surving the Argetin Experience and IM lovin it. IM literally in a
whole new world down here ha ha Well for sure have to come back here as a
family when i get back, like theres so much stuff that i cant even begin to
explain.BUt once your here youl see for yourself and just know ha ha
See you guys soon.
Con AMor,
Elder Bryce Hawkey
