Hey this week there
are changes in the mission... but I’m not going anywhere! Ahhhhhhhhh I’m going
to kill Hna Salguero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is going to be our
4th change together!!! I was actually packing my stuff last night because I was
sure that they were going to separate us!
But today they called
us while we were cleaning the house and told us that neither of us would be
leaving the area! I’m probs going to be in Chaparrastique a total of 4 changes
because after this change, Hna Salguero goes home and I will have to teach the
other Hna that comes to our area.
If someone wants to
translate this, it is part of the letter to president:
yancy esta
progresando. ella va a cumplir 9 años esta semana y nos enseño su libro de
mormon donde habia leido de la introduccion hasta la mitad del testimonio de
jose smith. ella esta poniendo todo su esfuerzo en leer. llego a la iglesia con
su libro de mormon y tiene mucho apoyo de su tia y tio. solo su abuela esta
haciendo comentarios que ella no debe bautizarse hasta que tiene 13 años como
su hermano david pero ella tiene mucho deseo de poder bautizarse.
ayer fuimos a una
colonia en busca de una familia menos activa la abuela se llama dinora. y
cuando estabamos preguntando por ellos, las personas nos dijeron que vivieron
en una casa de la colonia. tocamos alli y entramos solo para encontrarnos en la
casa de la persona equivocada que se llama nora. hablamos y descubrimos que son
antiguos investigadores super positivos y sacaron su libro de mormon. solo nos
dijeron sus preguntas y que la razon que no se bautizaron es que creen en su
bautismo. presentamos la restauracion y ellos entendieron la apostasia muy
bien, y explicamos el sacerdocio pero no acepto una fecha. pero va a
acompañarnos a la iglesia el domingo
(This is Google
Translate’s version):
Yancy is making
progress. She will turn 9 this week and showed us her book of Mormo
Yesterday we went to a
colony in search of a less active family. The grandmother is called Dinora. And
when we were asking about them, people told us they lived in a house in the
colony. We walked there and went inside only to find ourselves in the house of
the wrong person called Nora. We talked and found out that they were formerly
super-positive investigators and took out their Book of Mormon. They only told
us their questions and that the reason they were not baptized is that they
believe in their baptism. We presented the restoration and they understood the
apostasy very well, and explained the priesthood but they do not accept a baptismal
date. But he is going to accompany us to the church on Sunday.
You won’t be able to
put it in google translate because it lacks a lot of tildes but someone who
speaks will be able to understand.
Today we went to a
place a little bit like Yellowstone where the hot air from the volcano gets
released and it is like a sauna and it was really funny because the Elders from
Jucuapa were there too and they were trying to cook eggs. Haha it was pretty
funny.
We really are sooo
happy to still be here in Chaparrastic, but it has been hard to find new
investigators in these days. We hope that there are more that will be ready to
accept the gospel in their lives. We know that they are out there.
This week I was
reading in Helaman at the end when Samuel the Lamanite is teaching from the
wall and how the people who listened and believed went to Nefi who had
already taught them. But these people remembered that he had the truth and got
baptized. Also when Alma the Younger was called to repentance and that he was
in the gall of bitterness but remembered the words of his father when he
taught of Jesus Christ. The people that we teach right now might not
accept the gospel but there will come a time when they will remember what we
taught them and know that it is true and will have a change of heart and will be
ready to really accept the gospel in their lives
I love you all so
much! Hna Ashton
