Dear Familia,
So this week was good, and we’re down to 2 people that are really
progressing, Rossiss (73) and Rosa (single mother, but her children are
members). We had the chance to activate the family of the Rosa and we’re just
hoping that she puts down a date to be baptized. She told us that she is gonna
do it, but with just a little bit more time. I’m chill with that, just as long
as she does it! Anyways, with Rossiss, he is gonna get married sometime in January,
i hope. We’re gonna get all his papers ready and what not. This man just runs
like the energizer. He’s 73 and still rollin like a big shot haha.
Apart from those two, we’re working with the Norma, but I don’t know
what is going to happen there. She’s 17 and not very decisive.....but we’ll see
what’s the deal. The rest is just lookin for new people to teach, and that’s
gotta be the hardest part of missionary work. Me and my compy are doin great,
and he is a stud. He is chill and a hard worker. That’s the good thing! For New Year's Eve, the pdte. Cutipa of the branch hooked us up with a couple of
alcohol-free holiday mixers. We were feelin pretty elegant! haha
Just wanted to share my testimony that I know that this work is the
most true work that anyone could do. I’m astonished by the things that I have
learned and continue to be inspired by God our Heavenly Father every day. I’ve
never seen these gold plates, but I’ve read the transcription in the Book of Mormon,
I’ve been convinced by the words written in this book, that this is a work that
is necessary, and even though I don’t want to be outside sometimes, I’m driven
by the knowledge that I now have. I know that God exists, and that he is a
perfect man of order. He speaks through prophets and loves every one of us. I
have felt his love time after time. I love the thought of eternal families, and
that is my goal. That’s the gospel!!!!
Amen, hallelujiah!!
Love, Elder Pinegar
