This week has been really cold and wet.
Yesterday was the first day of Spring here and apparently it is supposed
to be getting warmer but everyone is telling us that it is going to
rain some more this week. I am keeping cold though so don't worry. The
jacket that I brought has been a life saver. I am going to have to buy
boots though because I don't want my shoes to get ruined in the rain.
I learned a lot this week about the importance of
having faith and not letting things get you down.
We have had a hard
time this week finding people to teach. It seems like everyone is too
busy to listen and they don't see a need to be happier than they already
are. Well, after having a hard week a miracle happened yesterday.
Hermana Silva and I were walking to visit a referral we had received
when the phone rang. Our zone leader said that we needed to go to the
church because they were waiting to meet with us. We didn't know what
he meant, but we walked the 6 blocks to the church. As we entered, I saw
my entire district, all 6 other elders waiting for us. My entire
district had come to help me and my companion find people to teach. For
3 hours we went contacting. Yesterday, we found a total of like 30
people that we can teach this next week! The elders all came to help us
find people to teach. I am so grateful for the missionaries here who help us. We are
all in the work together. It was a blessing for me. We found more
people yesterday than we have the entire time I've been here.
I also met a man who knows someone with the last
name of Zubeldia here in Bahía Blanca. He didn't remember where the man
lived but he said there are a lot here. Its my goal to find them and
teach them the gospel!!! You know what people say to pronounce my name?? They say, SUBE EL DÍA really fast. haha, I am the light that is
bringing them gospel and raising their day!
The mail system here should be working now so I should be getting
letters soon. I don't know when the package will come though... I'll let
you know when it does. Also, dearelder.com works here.
Sarah,
I am glad that you had a good time at the football game. I didn't
really enjoy the games because I find them boring. Its fun though to be
with friends and spend Friday
with them eating ice cream. How was Brooke's bridal shower? I can't believe
that she is getting married!! I am so happy for her. Let me know how
the wedding goes and please send pictures!! Too bad that Brooke won't
have Pablo, Brittany and Me in the pictures, they would have been better
if we were there. :)
Daniel, I am glad that you are becoming the big kid in the home.
Isn't it great to be the oldest?? You can boss people around and assign
chores or delegate chores :) What song are you singing in your recital
this week? Good luck on it. I am so glad to hear that you are doing
well in school and that you are enjoying being in Rhapsody. Are you
still doing indexing? Who won the contest?
Levi, I am glad to hear that you have Life in you. It would be
really cool if you got your Eagle Scout before you were a teacher. If you
want to do that you need to start really working on it and being
diligent. Just like violin, you need to work on it often. How do you
like your new violin teacher in our ward? She is really nice. Did you
know that she also went to BYU Jerusalem? She also served a mission in Korea. Before I left on my mission she went out with me and Aja to
teach some families in our ward. I will be praying for your muscle spasm
pain. I am sorry to hear that your back is hurting. My feet are hurting
too because we walk all day long. Also, what do you do in the Nerd
Club??
Carlos, that is great that you made friends with Zach's cousin! Now
you can play with Zach and his cousin all together. I will also pray for
your head that you will feel better soon.
Sofia,You are a
great missionary! You should take a Book of Mormon to school and give it
to your teacher, I bet she would accept it and read it if you gave it to her. I am also impressed that you are helping around in the home with Soraya and making breakfast. You remind me a lot of when I was a little
girl. Keep up the good work!! And you are playing "Teach me to walk in
the light" from the big green hymn book?! That is incredible! Way to go! You will do great.
Soraya, keep being cute! I love to hear all of the funny and witty
comments that you make. I wish I could hear them in person, but I guess I
will just have to imagine you saying them. And yes, God's greatest
creation is you (and also all the siblings)! You definitely should say
that in the primary program!
Thank your for your letters! I love to re-read
your letters throughout the week. I think of you each day as I share
the gospel. Its amazing the difference the gospel makes in the home.
Going from an investigator's home to a member's home is such a drastic
change. To feel the love and unity brings me comfort and joy and
reminds me of how much I love you.
And don't worry. I am staying safe at all times.
Don't worry about the robbers. We aren't allowed to wear purses or
bring bags with us, just in case. All I carry around are my scriptures.
The members are feeding us. They make sure we have a meal with them
everyday.
And like Pablo said, CONFERENCE IS COMING!! I am
really excited! We are also inviting everyone to come and hear a prophet
speak and feel for themselves the power of the prophets and how
important it is to have a prophet hoy en dia :)
I LOVE you SO MUCH!!!
Write to you next week
Hermana Zubeldia
