Talkin' to the fam on Mother's Day 2010
For Grandma Dorothy...pink tie to match ; )hey good morning how are things going? it was great talking to you guys last night. This week has been a busy one for us. We have been going by the Urrutia family to help them progress. Even though we had a very powerful lesson on the importance of following our Savior, they didnt come to church yesterday. It was pretty disappointing. They are obeying the Word of Wisdom now though so at least there is progress. They all really want to get baptized though so the desire is there.
This past Friday, we had Zone Counsel in Viña. It was a good time and we focused on the importance of the baptismal service, retaining new converts, and helping members do missionary work. Next week we are going to have a conference where we will have workshops on each one. We are going to be teaching the baptismal service one. Elder Allenbach & I played our duet (My Heavenly Father Loves Me) for Hermana Gillespie and she really liked it!!
On Sunday we had a special Sacrament Meeting focused on the importance of Mothers. I played for the primary as they sang, Mother I Love You. Its called Madre Te Amo in spanish. It went well. After Sacrament Meeting, Elder Allenbach and I handed out our flowers (carnations) to all of the mothers in the ward. They all really liked them. We had ordered them earlier in the week and picked them up and put them in the church on Saturday. In the evening we had a baptism of one of the 8 year old girls in the ward. A lot of her family and relatives are not members of the church so we went to help out with the program and be there. After that, we phoned home and talked to the family. That was nice!
Well that is about all that is going on with me. Tomorrow we have interviews with President Gillespie and his wife. It should go over well. On Wednesday, interchanges with the assistants. It will be a fun time.
Well thanks everyone for writing. Hope you have a great week. Love you tons! Chao
