hola!
So, it has been a hard transfer. We have kids that want to get baptized, but we don´t have the permisson from the moms. The dads are fine with it, but the moms are soooo hard to talk to and won´t budge for anything. They don´t have problems if they come to church, activities, pray, or read the book of Mormon....but they can NOT get baptized. i haven´t found out why yet....It has been hard for other reasons....but remember these words and maybe I will tell you after: Jose Alico (Calle) and Rodriguez
They are the best! the villa is crazy...i want to take pictures, but it wouldn´t be too smart to take a camera and i don´t want to lose...i will go buy one the next pday...don´t have time today...sorry!
I can´t remember what I have already written,,, but We are going to marry a 75 year old grandpa! haha we baptized him....and he can´t read or write and barely hears. He loves to come to church! his señora came back and they wan tto get married and she wants to get baptized! We have a lot to teach her...but it is so great! They cry everytime we visit them! We have to wait a month to marry them off though ;( i don´t know if I will be here. we were able to give ANA (the señora) a skirt. haha she is funny! very catholic but sweet!
We had transfers again, I am kinda training, i´m an aunt now. My comp was a mini and only serves for a transfer, but they asked her to serve in another area. I am training a new sister, she has one transfer, but her mission call is for Venezuela. So, it is pretty crazy. This transfer with a new president has been a monton de cambios! Two sisters are with their original mothers...which is so so weird. So, two really experiences missionaries are together. It is insane! I had a feeling to call one of my original sisters (one of my hermanas in the mtc...) normally, we don´t call others without the permission, but i called anyways (you can edit this part...first our priority is to the Lord...so i don´t think i was disobedient :) but it was good to call her and she just started to cry and felt sooo alone. I could relate with her all too well with eveyrthing she is going through.
Also, the Elder that helped me out and talked to me when I was training is now Asistent to the President. I think he was pretty shocked and kind of reacted the same way I did when I found out I was training. I could relate with him all too well. I was able to try and return the favor and help him out. It is really great to try and help people!
All those experiences I have had, have helped me relate with the others. I can see them experiencing the same thing and my heart goes too them...it is hard! But there is nothing I can really do, because it is just something they kinda have to experience. I know that they understand how they feel. That is kinda vague, but those hard experiences are refining me...
and allowing me to help others and relate with them
I seriously don´t know what i would do without the Elders to help me out mom. They are great! I have traveled a lot with my mini comp because she is from Argentina. She has a lot of random thigns to do...like vote, fix her braces (not very many people have braces here)...and we need to travel. Not going to lie it has been fun to travel and see more of Argentina. When we were traveling, we saw 4 Elders and it was so fun to see Elders! I hope we give people hope when they see us sisters! We joke that we are the popular sisters because they always call us to invite us to do things with them. We work hard too! People help us all the time! we were sitting in a train traveling...not really knowing where to go, and almost every time someone kinda took us by the hand to show us where to go. One man randomly looked at us and said....this is Ramos...didn´t you want to get off at Ramos? If he hadn´t said it, we would have lost ourselves....
We had four dates for baptisms, but they fell through because we couldn´t get the permission from their mothers. We can baptize with only the permission from the dads..but I want permission from both because they have big families. i don´t want to get the mom´s mad right now. One of the girls is named Jennyfer and is the sister of our amazing baptism! haha she is 9 and was sitting by me in church. I was writing her notes and this was our conversation written<.
Are you Praying?......SI (Written big in block letters! enthusiastically)
Do you want to get baptized?.....SI
Why do you want to get baptized?....I want to enter into the kingdom of God
I want to help you, I will pray for you that you can get baptized......me too GRACIAS!
This little girl is so stinkin cute! so grateful and KNOWS that she needs to get baptized! She was grateful for me! that was the best!
sorry i am everywhere! working hard, i love you! I am so glad for so many things! our family rocks! you can share with dad too, i am running out of time...
love always,
hermana Schneider
