Hey Family!!!
Ok, sorry that I didn´t
get to e-mail you guys last week, it was kind of crazy. So we had p-day on
Wednesday, because we got to visit the Temple!! Wow, my testimony was
reinforced once again that the Temple is the Lord´s house. This time around, I paid
especially close attention to the specific covenants that we make with the
Lord, and now I have the goal to keep all the covenants I made to the best of
my abilities.
But anyway, after the
Temple, we got back to our area, and went to send our e-mails, and the internet
was down! And it wasn´t just down in that one Lan house, but it was down in all
of Paraná! (Paraná is a state) So, we didn´t get to send e-mail. Sorry!
So, big news! I still
don´t know if I’m going to be transferred or not, but I do know one thing--this
next transfer I’m going to be training a new missionary!!! I still don´t know
much about it, but I’ll be going to a training conference today that will train
me on being a trainer. Also, I do know that my companion will be an American,
so I should be getting one of those missionaries that are only at the MTC for a
month. It´ll be interesting. I´m suuuuper humbled by this--I only have 7 months
on the mission! But I had an interview with President Cordon today, and he said
that the Lord called me specifically for this calling, so I just need to trust
in Him!
Tell London
Congratulations! That’s so amazing to hear, I’m really happy for her. Send her
a message saying that I’m happy for her and that the Lord will surely bless her
for this decision! It´s just blessings from here on out :) (London is a friend of Avram’s from HS, who
got baptized 4/29)
I hope Bentley is doing
better. I can´t believe that when I actually get to meet him, he´ll already be
two years old! That’s crazy. I can´t wait to meet the little guy. Oh, and congrats
to Amber for the new little baby coming. Wow, I’m going to have lots of nieces
and nephews to greet when I get back! haha.
So with Skype, it´s kind
of hard to plan, because I have no idea where I’ll be in two weeks’ time, or if
I’ll even have access to Skype!? However, you guys could help me out by trying
to find out what my Skype account name is!? I forgot!
Please try to find out,
and tell me in the next letter, so that I can be prepared come Mother’s Day! If
anything, I can probably use the account of my gringo companion (he´ll be my
first American Companion!) but I don´t have a certainty.
Ok, so we have had TWO
BAPTISMS since I last e-mailed you guys. The first was João, this teenager that
we had been teaching for like two months. Wow, he´s amazing! He´s been going to
seminary every day, also, so he´s in good hands, and is continuing firm!
And yeah, Zeneida was
baptized yesterday! wooohhooo!! It was great! I think this baptism had more
people attending than all of the other baptisms that I’ve had until now. She
had a lot of family supporting her. It was really cool to see this.
I´ll try to send some
photos of the baptisms I’ve had, and also of my house here. However, it´s kind
of hard because I need to use home funds for revealing photos.
Well, I’ve got to run,
but I loooove you all sooo much. Sorry that I didn´t get to write you last
week!
LOVE
Elder Twitchell
