Wow, How quick the time can go! I have a lot of things to
write this week and only 22 mins left! I hope I can get all the miracles in.
FIRST THINGS FIRST! LAURA I LOVE YOU AND I HAVE A LOVE SLASH
HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU! I am so proud of you for choosing to serve.
It is the best of times really! But now I have to wait more time to see you!
Its ok, its for the Lord :) Love you! EMAIL ME THE SECOND YOU OPEN YOUR little
WHITE ENVELOPE WITH YOUR FUTURE INSIDE!!!!!
Next, Sorry I told you the wrong website last week. It is christmas.mormon.org.
He is the Gift. Discover it and Share it.
Also, packages update! Call Hna Morris (from MTC) mom, she
has sent various packages
Also, Hna Karina Hill comes home in 2 weeks. Set up an FHE
with her please! She wants to meet you and I want you to meet her! She is so
great!.....She probs will go to Colorado for teh holidays then she is coming to
BYU for winter. take good care of her.
What a good week! Even though we were in the apartment for some time due to my companions health, we saw miracles, found more people, extended date challenges and spoke with everyone.
This transfer has been difficult at times with Sister Vela and me, but I can now say that I have learned more than I though possible. We did not teach much during her surgery/recovery, and I was a little discouraged. But now I can see that there is always something to do in God’s work. I can be care for, love, and serve your companion. We don’t need millions of people to teach to fulfill our purpose.
OKKKKKK Now the good stuff. Thanksgiving day was such
a great day! We ate an asado (BBQ argentina style) and we were literally
¨stuffed¨. Also, I. ate. blood. sausage. yuck. I just
pretended like it was stuffing with cranberry sauce. It actually was not
that bad until you think about what you are eating. Blood oozing around
your plate. delicious..... We also ate a kilo of ice cream so can´t
complain!
One quick story, we were talking with some of our
investigators M* y S*. As we taught about Joseph Smith, she was in
awe. Then we whipped out the BOM. Bad idea? She flipped. haha
we didn´t know what to do (I was on exchanges with Hna Gonzalez) We kept trying
to wxplain the logistics of the book and how she can know for herself that it
is true. But she said time and time again that she had her Bible. I
was so frustrated and I felt a little uncomfortable so out of desparation, I
bore my testimony to wrap things up. I spoke with boldness and power and
testified that it would change her life. I treasure that book so dearly.
We read her a scripture, 2 Nefi 22:2. Her attitude completely changed and
she immediately asked if she could borrow a copy of the book. When we gave her
own copy as a gift, she was thrilled. She promised to read it. I can´t
explain how cool of an experience it was. Yes, we can know that this is
the truth by thinking logically, but the more important part is the
testimony. The Spirit is the power behind this work.
Also big news of thw week! C*r went to the TEMPLE!!!!! He went to
Buenos Aires! It was such a rewarding feeling to see his happiness and
excitement for the gospel. Not only was he baptized. Not only does
he have a calling. NOt only is he paying tithing. Not only did he buy a
suit and cut his hair. He also made the sacrifice to travel across the
country to do baptisms for many he doesn´t know. On sunday he showed us
the things he bought at the distribution center and told us of when he fell in
the font after doing so many baptisms. I am so full of joy. This is
our purpose. Hna Albretchesen told me the phrase of their mission is to
TEACH TO THE TEMPLE! I love it. C* went to the temple, and is now
talking all about the next step of his own endowment. I can´t explain how
full my heart is. This is why Im here. This is why. You all know of
my testimony of the temple. To see others experience it, and hear of
others bear testimony after their personal endowments this weekend in the
Branch, I am reminded of the grander plan. You are all so lucky.
Dont take advantage of the temple. Oh what I would do to be able to enter
its sacred walls even just to sit in the gardens or waiting room. It is
the house of the Lord and we are fulfilling sacred responsibilites
inside. Unfortunately we still have no news or update on the temple in
Cordoba. We are thinking around April or may, but there is no offical
date. Ill keep you posted, believe me.
I am on the Lords errand. Dont you worry about
me. Keep decorating and preparing for Christmas. Yes its true. Its so hot
here that luckily Christmas will pass by and I wont even blink or realize what
is happening in my life. I love you all!
Time to sign off. Over and Out. Ive been changed for
good. (today we watched the wizard of oz with james franco for p day and now
Ive been singing wicked all the day long.)
con mucho amor,
Hna Woolley
PS ask kristen and alec who my team should be. Boca or
river. (argentina soccer teams but i have no idea who is better!)
