I'm so happy to hear that all of you guys are all okay and safe. We had a good busy week. We worked really hard all week. I'm in a really happy place in my mission where I know what I'm doing and I love these people so much.
I'll start with Camila. Her baby was born with a muscular problem. He qualified for the teletòn (an organization that helps kids with disabilities) and has had exercises and examens almost everyday this past month. So it's sometimes hard to find her but as you can imagine she is stressed and exhausted with this constant worry. But we did have a couple really good lessons with her this week. She is actually better than most actual members because she reads the book of mormon every day and always keeps her commitments. But she never wants to go to church! She's the best living Christian but most anti church person you will ever meet. This might sound strange but I actually respect her for her deep desire to be a good person privately and develop a relationship with God without really wanting any show or praise for it in a church setting. I can't say it very well but her humility and integrity of character is really admirable. We've been visiting her for awhile and were like best friends with her and her kids now ha. They are a precious family to us and we help out whenever we can.
Juan and his family are doing well also. Juan is recovering from his heart problems but is doing a lot better now. They were worried he would have to go to the hospital again, but he has gotten a lot better. It's hard to find all of their family in the house together because they all work. Juan keeps telling us about these amazing experiences that he had while he was in the hospital. I guess being so close to death made him think a lot about god, and he prayed so much to find comfort and knowledge. He was able to comfort a lot of people in the hospital with his testimony and being a good listener. He is such a good example and I've learned a lot from him. He told me every man needs a near death experience where they have a high chance of dying. He said he was prideful and hard in his heart until his heart started failing and the doctor told him he might die. He found God in a very real way in that hospital and he is thankful for it every minute.
Luke 7 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
I love you guys have a great week! We all have work so no one shirk(sp?) Make this week your best one yet.
