Queridos Amigos,
Okay, I would like to appologize in advance. This email is
going to be short.
Today has been all sorts of crazy and it´s only 1:30pm.....
We had personal study and then companionship study and then
we headed to the cybernet café to email all of you wonderful folks. Guess
what.... it was closed! Have no fear, Hermana Chaffin is not so easily
discouraged. Yes, there is only one option in this small town for computers,
but I rubbed a few brain cells together and called the Branch President to use
the computers in the chapel. He answered right away and said come on over.
Sweet! Problem solved right? False.
We arrive at his house and he´s not home.... But, some
friendly construction men are and we talk about missionary work with them while
we wait for presidente to return. After 20 minutes he arrives. At last we
receive the key and head to the church. Unfortunately, there must be oposición
in ALL things in this life.
We get to the chapel and unlock the 6 locks to the computer
and discover that two of the outlets aren´t working.... So, after jiggling
cords, stretching extention cords to their max and several very heartfelt
prayers we connected the computer to another outlet-only to discover that the
internet wasn´t connected. At this point I was laughing hysterically at our
situation and my companion was giving me concerned looks....
So, if you received this email today please now that I
suffered a lot to send this to you. I hope that it made you smile and I hope
that you forgive me for not being as frequent in my emails. Things happen (see
example above)
This week was amazing. We had many lessons with many
investigators. I love this área with all of my heart. It is amazing. Hermana
Chappell is the greatest and we are having a blast sharing the góspel with
others.
I hope you all had a wonderful 2016 and that 2017 is even
better. I probably won´t see most of you until 2018, but through cords stretched
across church hallways and keyboards across the world we can keep in contact. I
hope you all see this year as an opportunity to strive a little harder to reach
your true potential. Set goals and make plans to achieve them. You can do
anything you set your mind to. The wise Dr. Seuss said, "You have brains
in your head,you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself in any
direction you choose"
Lots of love,
Hermana Chaffin
