This is the only thing I got from Elder Harsh this
week. I totally forgot to write
him! I have never done that! Ever!!! I
felt so bad, but then I just laughed at his response. So I had to draw from Keven’s and Josilyn’s
letter for this week’s report!
My letter…
Hey remember you
have a kid on a mission......out here.....lonely........with an empty
inbox........missing you.........
Love,
Elder Harsh
The Chacon Family is doing good
but we are adjusting their baptism date. We had it for this Saturday but they
aren't ready yet, but they are progressing very well! They accepted the Word of
Wisdom like it was nothing and threw out all the alcohol from their fridge and
haven't drank any coffee since! The mom stopped taking care of children on Sundays
so she will be able to come to church and the dad is looking for another guy to
help him in his carpenter shop for the same reason! They aren't ready but they
are preparing very well! Did mom forget about me? or is she just mad because I
wrote on Tuesday a few weeks in a row. Haha!
Aruba is great! I told President
I want to finish my mission in Aruba and he said probably not. Well he actually
said "I am not in control of that" which means "no" so
bummer so I am probs going to Curacao or something which I am alright with I
guess, but Aruba is by far my favorite island.
Mom forgot about me this week so
that’s cool. #StillFavoriteChild
From Josilyn's letter:Wow the one week that you write me my mom decides to forget about me! At least I still get to say hi mom this week. Hi mom!
Looking back on my mission is
weird. Thinking back to when I was in the DR feels like forever and a half ago,
but when I was in Bonaire (first area in the islands) feels like last week! I
really feel like I have put my whole self into these Islands!! Like really
every area I have been to, I have had to start at 0 either because I
whitewashed, opened up a new area, or saved it from a bad missionary who wasn't
working. It has been so tough starting new every transfer like that and not
really seeing much success as far as baptisms go, but as a zone leader I see
all the numbers of the missionaries and I see all the areas that I opened and
saved and I see them flourishing and teaching tons of people and baptizing and
it honestly makes me feel so good. Even if I can't be there to see the products
I know that I was there to plow the ground and plant the seeds and it’s a
really great thing to see. I love these islands.
So even if his Mother forgot to
write- he sounds like he is doing great!
Thanks for everyone’s support!
Love,
Valerie
