Dear Fam,
Sorry they don’t celebrate Valentines
Day here, but Carnival is arriving. Ha-ha!
Well, it’s been another speedy week
that was full of great adventures. We are finding a lot of work here in Santa
Rosa and we are growing in our faith. The members here are very special and are
helping a lot in the work. I think this is one of the areas that we get the
most lessons with members that I have already passed through. The work with
members is the best work. It seems like the wards or branches that haven´t
figured out how to work with the missionaries are falling behind in the
hastening of the work.
This week we went on a lot of splits.
One of the days Elder Hayes (American) came with me to my area and the other
two days Elder De Melo (Brazilian) came to my area as well. Elder Longo (DL)
wanted to do all the splits this week. It went well and it was nice to take
ahold of the work a little more.
This week we taught a lot and found
12 new investigators, which includes 3 families! What a blessing! We are
working with Ana and Samuel so they can get baptized on the 28th and
then Ludwig and Tatiana will get married and be baptized on the 7th
of March. So we have a lot of work to keep us busy. I don’t have too many worries
about getting trunky…I think this is something that runs in the family. We don’t
have this weakness.
One thing that happened which was
cool was our lesson with Ludwig and Tatiana. We shared a lesson about the Book
of Mormon and how God works through plain and simple things. The family liked
the message a lot and Ludwig bore his testimony of how he came to recognize God
in his life. He understands that we don’t need to be scared in this life because
there is a life after death. He said we can be sad about this life, but
we shouldn´t be scared. His testimony was very strong and really touched me. He
is a great man!
Mom, are you counting the days until I
get home? Ha-ha! I am super excited to come home! But I will miss the people
here…and I will miss the mission life. I am reading a book the President
Parrela sent us about maintaining the Sprit after the mission. It is helping me
and will help me a lot after I get home. I like how you explained coming home,
Mom. I do need to come home. My mission will be there after my mission here is
done. And mom don´t worry I will be patient with you guys. You will have to be patient
with my English. Ha-ha! Thank you for the information about our family, Mom.
You are awesome!
Dad, my companion and I were having
some problems but we resolved the problems. Now we are doing great! I am glad
the ward is doing so well. I am excited to see everyone there! Ya, I think I
will stay in St. George until August. We will see how everything goes. I have
so many stories to tell you guys! It’s awesome to hear about Kurtis´ homecoming.
Let’s go up to it!
I love all of you so much! Only 3
weeks and I will give you all a big hug! : ) Ha-ha!
Love,
Elder Hauck
