April 11, 2011

Hi family!  About summer term at BYU, I will trust you on that.  If you feel good about it, it sounds good to me.  Maybe I could take Spanish 102 while living there. Or another Spanish class. I would like to take some sort of Spanish class. That would definitely help.  I would like to take an outdoor PE class, maybe something related to wilderness survival/camping/hiking.  I would love that.  Religion classes don't hurt either. I really enjoyed my New Testament class last time. It included the first half of the New Testament- the 4 gospels. Maybe there's a class that covers the rest of the New Testament.  It would be interesting to know more about how the Great Apostasy was started.    Something I'm discovering about myself lately is I do NOT like transitions.  It will be hard regardless.  At least after the mission I have more options to relieve stress. And BYU is a pretty soft setting to crash land into reality.  I'll be fine.  I am very excited to see you all.  It would be great if we could take a trip up here as a family sometime.  I will keep writing the people that really want to stay in contact. 
I love you all!!!!!  I kind of skimmed your letter so if there's anything I missed, I'll write a letter later.


Hi everyone!  I don't have very much time so this will be just basic.  Sister Alvarez leaves in 2 days.  A few days after that Sister Rivera will be transferred to Leemore because another sister is also leaving mid-transfer and would be without a companion. So it will be me and Sister Harris.  She's very positive and hard-working. I'm excited to work with her. 
This week I taught all the Relief Society sisters how to make pizza from scratch.  A few days later a sister told me she had done it on her own and her husband had 6 slices.  Everyone really enjoyed it.  We had a few investigators there too.
We didn't have a baptism this past weekend but we have 2 investigators who will be baptized next Saturday.  They both have been taught for a very long time and FINALLY have decided to be baptized.  We are so excited!  The only sad part is Sister Alvarez will not be here for the baptisms.  We tried to get them to work before but it just worked out better next weekend.  On Sunday a few of the sisters from Atwater surprised us by coming down to say goodbye to Sister Alvarez on her last Sunday here.  It was so good to see them!  One of the sisters had quit coming to church but she said she recently started going again.  Sister Alvarez needed that surprise. She's been through a lot the past few weeks. 
Press forward with faith!  Remember Faith is the opposite of Fear!  Don't waste a minute worrying about what will come the next minute.
