Well, I have the "double dragon" again
as we say here. Too much body fluids exiting. Catch the drift? But it's
all good! I'm still working and doing my best to show the zone that we
are hard workers! I'm way excited for this week too!! I don't want to
start it by staying in the pench. I love working too much!! :)
So this past week has been great!!! You better butter
us up, because we're on a roll!!!! Elder Borgersen and I in two weeks
have found twenty investigators and have taken out about 16 baptism
commitments. This area is on fire! Honestly! We're going to be baptizing
pretty soon! We were going to baptize Ana this coming Saturday but we
decided to wait and get her kids baptized with her in two weeks. It'll
be a lot more special! And the youngest is eight, so that way he'll
still count as a convert for us and can help our zone goals!
Well, I don't feel so hot, so I'm going to write
this letter as fast as I can. So on Monday after p-day, we went to Irma
and Blanca. We brought Hna. Patricia Caseres with us and she is a return
missionary. She's SOO great! She helped a ton this past week! Anyway,
we taught about the doctrine of Christ and we tried to take out the
baptismal commitment but Irma is too scared to say yes. She's reading a
ton and praying a lot too! She was suffering from a depression attack,
but she felt better after our visit. Blanca might not quite be totally
sane. She's kind of nuts and talks about whatever. We're trying to see
what we're going to do with her. We also taught Pamela later on and we
reviewed the plan of salvation and gave a brief overview to her friend
by phone. She lives far away, though, but she really liked it a lot!
On Tuesday we had district meeting which was great
to not have to teach it! :) We also are having problems with Elder
Narvaez. He's trying to fake a hurt knee to get home, I think. The poor
guy just still doesn't understand it yet and he's only got about five or
four months left. We're trying to help him out.
Ok, I'm not going to be able to write everything
that I want to. So, basically here's a list of people and a brief
summary of each:
Emanuel, Daniel, and Kevin -
Sons of Ana want to be baptized with their mom. We have to teach
everything quickly to all of the family. Ana is doing alright. She's
destroyed by the loss of her husband but keeps coming to church and listening to us. She knows what she needs to do.
Lucas - A new investigator that has problems with his family and
with drugs, I believe. He needs the gospel and is really interested in
everything. We found him by visiting his less active mom.
Jesus,
Andrés, Magda, Hugo, Erma - All live in the same house which has
received the name, the Narnia Door. Every time we go there, we find more
and more people! They're all great too!!
Braian and Franco - two boys of a recent convert that are now on track to be baptized. They're great!
Maria
- We finally found her again. She was an investigator of Elder
Borgersen and his last comp. She's such a stud. Wants to know everything
and wants to work towards baptism.
Well, those were the interesting people from last
week. We did and intercambio with the assistants. It was great in our
area, but were I went, in Banfield, we didn't get anything done! We
drove around and clapped a ton of houses, but nobody let us in. It was
great to get to know Elder Reid a little better, though. Elder Borgersen
and Elder Griffin were able to get Irma committed to baptism and found
some people too!
Well, I'm sorry that this letter isn't that
informative. I'm not feeling too great today. I'll write better next
week once I'm better. Plus we have to leave to go work now. I love you
all and miss you. Shout out to Atay and Savannah!! Congrats on going on
missions! We need more sister missionaries willing to work!! It's tough,
but sooo worth it!
Love,
Elder Cowan
P.S.
I'm just feeling weak and my fingers are aching a bit. That's why I'm
not writing so great. Don't worry, it's just a bit of food poisoning. I
should be fine in the morning. SO DON'T WORRY! :) ha ha!
