oh my gosh that is so awesome that Elder Howell is already on the mission!!! haha for real i am so happy for him. and what about ammon and john bahr? oh so this week im gonna do something a little different im gonna send the letter that i send to the President to you guys too. He told us that we should update our families on all the work here just as much as we update him. so im gonna write you my normal letter and then afterwards i`ll paste it to the end of this letter. oh im gonna send some fotos today too from the baptism that we had.
so on thursday the bishop called me and asked me to speak on sunday and i was super pumped because our bishop isnt all to enthusiastic about the missionaries. i think there was a missionary who was here before me and they butted heads haha but yeah ever since i got here we`ve been trying to animate (the verb animar in spanish is what i want to say and its different from animate haha but because my spanish is better than my english now im just gonna use animate, but it means like get excited...kinda haha i dunno how to explain it but yeah) so yeah we`ve been trying to animate him a bunch and so the other sunday i asked him if we could have just one minute in sacrament meeting to announce something and he was like sure go for it. and so we told the ward that we appreciate all their help and the food especially haha and how truely truely we want to serve them. so we told them if they need help with any little thing they should call us. and the bishop lightened up a bit... just a bit haha. and so we have done some way cool service projects for members this week and so when he asked me to speak i was super stoked. he asked me to talk about obedience and i talked about the 2000 strippling warriors and alma 57:20 y 21 and how their moms taught them about obedience and having faith that the Lord will ALWAYS follow through in His promises. then i shared about how small and safe north dakota is and how when i opened my call to Chihuahua we were all super stoked and then how mom found out about how dangerous it is here haha. i told them about how mommy told me to be obedient and how Her faith in My obediece really helped me. Thank you so much mom and dad for your examples all throughout my entire life. it was honestly the best talk i`d ever given because i testified and i could feel the spirit testify of much of what i said. the life of a missionary is absoulutely the best life ever. i have never felt so much guidance from Heavenly Father Himself in my life and the mission has helped me so much to humble myself to recognize it.
that is so cool about how the berogans went to the temple!!! i havent gone to the temple since the mtc and i bet i will maybe go 2 ò 3 times on the mission. i miss it so much. thank you mom for sharing that advice and when i go i will for sure do that. dad that is way cool that you are turning green chile around. if you want when i get back id be more than happy to help you out with all that stuff and help you learn some espanish haha haha that is way funny what they all call you haha i laughed pretty hard.... oh so the video im sending is a re-enactment of something that i used to do haha let me know next week what you think haha
ok so her is the letter to the president
Hola Presidente,
muy buenos dìas. Me gustò mucho esta semana. mi compañero y yo hemos mejorado mucho con nuestro unidad. Estamos buscando las cosas que tenemos que mejorar para poder lograr la unidad que se trata en Predicad Mi Evangelio. Algo que me encanta de mi compañero es que èl es muy humilde. Elder Hernandez està aquì para ser un misionero y està dispuesto para obedecer todo para poder ser digno de la ayuda del Señor en todo momento. Me alegra mucho. Esta semana he estudiado mucho en Predicad de la secciòn que se encuentra en Capìtulo 9 que se llama "Hable con Todos" algo que el Elder de Hoyos dijo cuando estaba aquì es que no sabemos por què no hablamos con todas las personas en la calle. Quien sabe si sea miedo o vergüenza o que pero no lo hacemos como misioneros. Yo sè que yo puedo hablar con màs personas y sè que Dios les està poniendo en mi camino para poder enseñarles de èste evangelio que Necesitan....y ¿¿Por què NO lo hago?? hay una escritura que està en 2 Timoteo 1:7 que dice "Porque no nos ha dado Dios espìritu de COBARDÌA, sino de PODER,de AMOR, y de DOMINIO PROPIO." Un misionero debe ser alguien que tiene ese poder, amor, y dominio propio...no de cobardìa. Me ayuda mucho esta escritura y cada dìa estoy hablando con màs y màs personas. Muchos dicen que no quieren nada pero como dice en Predicad yo nunce debo desanimarme y siempre debo seguir adelante con el conocimiento de lo que Yo Soy y el Porque yo estoy aquì.
Esta semana tuvimos solomente 2 en la capilla pero Elder Hernandez y yo sabemos que esta semana vamos a tener tres. No vamos a aceptar menos que 3 en la capilla. vamos a echarle màs ganas cada dìa. Estamos viendo los frutos de nuestro ànimo aquì. El obispo està animàndose poco a poco y nos està confiando màs y màs. Esta semana me pidiò a dar un discurso de la obediencia y despues me dio gracias y espero ahora que èl sienta màs confianza a pedir cosas de nosotros.
Esta semana en mi distrito vimos cambios. Pero los elderes en villa Juarez estàn muy muy animados y nosotros tambièn. Presidente estoy muy agradecido por la oportunidad que tengo para estar aquì en Chihuahua y poder escuchar sus consejos cada semana. Muchas Gracias por todo lo que hace. Yo sè que Usted es llamado por Dios para dirigir esta mision y seguir aceleràndola. Cuìdese mucho.
Elder Nunley
