Elder Bergquist
hey mom.
how are you? absolutely wonderful
Are you still in pain from
the abscess? no....not really....once in a while it bothers
me...but its not like a huge pain just a little discomfort...its not bad at all
Can you get antibiotics over the
counter there like you can in Mexico
So, were there as many in church as you
had hoped? there were about 25...but some of them we didnt even get to talk to before
they got out..theres like 6 exits and we couldnt cover them all...:/
How did the open house go? really good.
there were about 300 that visited in the 3 days...(thursday was cancelled for a
funeral and we kinda fought with the leaders that they couldnt do that,
president came down and everything but they already had the body there and a
bunch of the family, so they just did it and we talked to the non members about
the plan of salvation and the family.... and we hadnt planned to, but the
spirit was so strong as we talked to the people about our beliefs and we
started inviting some to be baptized....like 40 groups of people accepted
baptism! its was really cool
How was it set up? What did you guys
do? ill send some pics, but they had each organization set up their classroom
and do a 1-3 minute presentation about the organization and then we took them
in the cultural hall where we had a bunch of banners set up with our beliefs
(basically the 1st lesson in Preach My Gospel) and we taught them and then when they left we
had a table set up with the materials from the pass along cards and let them
choose which one they wanted and put down their address and phone number for us
to take it to them afterward. it was really cool. we´ll have to set on up in
our chapel. you could even do it with the nativity thing...just put a table
with a notebook and the joy to the world dvd and let the people put down their
info for the missionaries to take them a free dvd afterward...
Did you get to teach a lot? yeah a ton...we
taught like 30 good lessons a day
Did you get a lot of referrals? i
dont know if youd call them referrals but we have a ton of people to visit.
Did you get to meet Elder Mazzagardi? i
shook his hand a few times...but i didnt really get to converse with him...
Did he do any training? If so,
what did you learn? with the missionaries no. just with the members...but he
talked a ton about the family and how we need to MULTIPLY and replenish the
earth not just have two kids and call it good, because thats not
"multiplying" haha he was pretty funny
Did you have the 4 baptisms?
( Marli and Gabriel and tais and tainã) Gabriel Tais and Tainá
were baptised, but Marli is still having trouble with her cigarettes...
but shell be baptized this week. pray for her.
Who are you guys teaching now? we have
a ton from the open house and washingtons mom went to church were gonna see if
we can help her, she lost her mom son and brother all in the last 2 years and
we talked about eternal families yesterday, it was really good, she started
crying in the lesson, she'll be baptised we just gotta help her take the step ,
shes kinda prideful in that she doesnt like to do what other people want her
to, she wants to do it because she decided to...and her brother's (that died) wife went with her too...were working with her...and a few other people too
When did you feel the Spirit the
strongest this week? in the conference the spirit was really strong at various
points. the choir was really good, when they sang oh how lovely was the morning
and when we sustained the new stake presidency and the first presidency it was
really strong. and when Elder Mazzagardi and President Fortunato talked
to us it was really good. they are really spiritual. they both
talked about the family and establishing zion
tell aimee parabens for the mission
call. and that i wrote her a letter like 3 months ago, but then i realized last
week that i never sent it...so shell just have to wait now hahaha. And que bencao
that weston said my name. hes already realizing who his best uncle
is! haha love ya mom. sorry that i cant send pics today. were in a different
house and they dont let you upload pics here, but next week ill send a ton!
love ya!
Elder BerGQuist!
