Sorry I didn´t get a chance to send a big letter to everyone last week :( I got kicked off the computer right before I was going to send my letter. That sucks huh?!
Everything is going really well here though. Everything is getting really wet... It´s the beginning of the rainy season, and it´s raining com força! We played soccer in the rain for two hours today.
So, for those of you who know Ivan, he´s a member that lives here who likes to put pictures of me on facebook. By now you´ve probably seen pictures of me with a girl named Ingred. Now I´m going to tell you about this girl...
Normally, we don´t make many contacts with girls. Our job is to strengthen the wards, so we look more for priesthood holders. But last week a girl stopped us in the street and started asking tons of questions about us. She was super excited to hear that we are both Americans, and the next day we went to her house with Ivan to teach about the restoration. She loved the message, and went to church the next day. She liked church, and we took pictures in the garden out front afterwards. Ivan did really well to explain to her that the missionaries can't hug or anything, and she was pretty respectfull of that.
The next week we went to her house, and she had developed a photo with just her and me in it, and she had framed it, and put it in her room! She is progressing super well though. She read the Book of Mormon, prayed, got an answer, went to young women's, and went to church again this Sunday. She said she wants to be baptized, but she also said that she wants to get a visa and visit Pleasant Grove! I´ll keep you guys updated with how things go with her.
I´m so excited that Amber is coming home. I´m so proud of her! I like what she said, "Missions are hard, but they´re worth it." When I first got out here, I realized that a mission was nothing like I thought it would be, but now, I´ve realized that my mission is what I want it to be. I´m making my mission how I think it should be, and it´s starting to work. Everything that I wanted to learn on the mission, I´m learning, and I´m going to be so much better for it once I get back!
I love you guys all so much. thanks for your love, and your examples. Choose the right, and write me letters from time to time :)
Love, Elder Forsyth
