June 25, 2012 - Loving the People

Dear Familia,

So this week was really good, kinda stressful, and full of many activities! So I'll start with the baptisms. We had 1 baptism, the one of Asbey. He is really happy and so was his mom.  She's a sweatheart. It's gonna be hard to leave them.  Unfortunately, the others didn't get baptised quite yet, but we put another date for the 20th of the July. The mom wanted Ashley to be baptised with her brother, but she wanted to have more time..... The mother Ashley wants to talk to us, so before I leave from Zarumilla we're going to visit her. It's tough to go. We're finally starting to have success. At least Elder Lescano will be here to solucionar todas the things. He told me yesterday that I helped him change as a person and missionary. I responded with, "Well that's my job" hahah ;) Our relationship has grown, but it will be nice to have a change.

I sure hope that everything goes good here. I finally learned to love the persons that I'm teaching. There are 4 baptisms planned for this cambio and much more that will happen. We worked hard and are finally seeing out fruit!!!! But now I'm going to another place that probably doesn't have success, but I'm gonna give it success!!!!!! haha

Yeah, so that's basically the down low on what's passin in the mission and what not!!!! Take a ton of pics at Powell and make sure to put them on the memorĂ­a so that I can enjoy your experiences!!! Love you all, and just know that I'm doing well. I've been sick for 10 days**, but I'm doing well!!!!


Love,
Elder Pinegar
 **(note from home) Remember that pizza Alex sent a few weeks ago saying he hadn't eaten cheese in 10 months--Jared saw that and said the only time he really got extremely sick on his mission to Peru was after he ate cheese--wondering if the cheese made him sick?
