Hey Mom,
That's pretty neat how you have been finding
relatives and other friends as you have been having fun up in Utah. And
to think your voice teacher was Ralynne's Great Aunt! Maybe you being a
2nd mother to her is a crazy way of saying thanks. I like how you said
how your teacher taught us to sing with emotion and not worry [only]
about the technicalities. Although they are necessary, I realize how
much of a better singer you are when you put your heart into it. It's
kinda like missionary work. Don't just do missionary things, be the
missionary that you want and the Lord wants you to be. What's funny is
that the Lord wants us to be ministers but to also be friends to those
we teach. It's quite hard to find the balance but in the end, Love
trumps all.
Missionary work has been going great. Violet is now
picking a day for baptism and Ivan is coming to church (we will be
challenging him to a date very soon...will be needing your prayers).
Also, tell Ralynne that I did get a miracle last p-day. I got a call
from Ricky and he told me that he will be getting baptized by the end of
this month. I AM PUMPED!!!! He asked me to do it. Of course I am
honored. Also, one of my investigators from Folsom gave me a call, as
well, telling me that he is getting baptized on the 22 of February!!!!
Quite a few miracles. To top it all off, we have just begun
re-activating 3 additional families. One of the kids is named Angel and
has had a rough upbringing (I swear every time I talk to him I think of
Dad having 'heart to hearts' with me when I was growing up), but has
been making strides to come back to church and turn life around. I was
able to connect with him very well, and he sits by me almost every Sunday.
Much has been happening. Y si madre. Mi espanol esta progresando
mucho. Al veces necesito usar un diccionario para buscar por algunas
palabras por frases, pero como yo dije cuando hable con tu al navidad,
puedo ensenar sin problema. Ahora necesito aprender como conversar en
actual conversaciones sobre desportes y otras cosas. But yeah, Spanish is
coming along just fine. I love the work mom and the branch is seeing
better days now.
Love you Mom,
Elder Sierra
