Hola!
This week Hermana Wurdel was sick so we stayed home for Wednesday and Thursday and I was so so BORED! It sucks staying in and not being able to work even though it was just for 2 days. I was able to write some letters though! I sent you guys some letters as my Christmas presents but I don't know if they will get to you in time for Christmas. I sure hope so!
Today we had a zone activity and we played volleyball in the morning! It was really fun! Also, it is like 1000 degrees here! So so hot! It's so weird that Christmas here is in the summer. I'm gonna be a sweaty mess when we Skype haha.
Thanksgiving sort of exists here. Some of the members know about it. Hermana Wurdel and I are going to visit a member in one of her old areas who is having a big dinner for all the missionaries. We got permission from the president and it should be really fun!!
But this week was so so so so so stressful because Marcela needs to work out some family matters with her previous husband. Its all very complicated, but we are hoping she can work things out and still be ready for her baptism in 2 weeks. Camila still doesn't want to be baptized so soon. She wants to believe so bad but still doesn't feel like she is converted. I told her that conversion is a process and that I'm not yet 100% converted and that we don't need to be 100% converted to be baptized. Basically, pray for a miracle because only with God's help can we make the baptism happen with Marcela and her daughters, Angie and Camila on November 30.
Basically, my stress level is at 500% You know me and how I handle stress. I have been a wreck this week. I'm trying to just relax and put more trust in the Lord but it's so hard! I like to have control of everything! haha! I'm such a hypocrite because I said in my last letter to put our trust in God and right now I'm having trouble with that. I have been praying really really hard this week and I know I won't see a miracle without faith!! Ether 12!
haha! Also, we have been eating a lot of empanadas because Marcela is selling them to earn money. We have bought a few and she also has some ready for us everytime we visit which is practically every day. It's really awesome because we have gotten a lot of the members to buy empanadas from her! The ward has totally welcomed this family and the leaders in the ward this past week have been working so hard to help us!
But I hope you guys have the best time in Utah! I miss you guys! Have a great Thanksgiving and say hi to Oma and Katie and everyone! I love them all so much and wish I could be with you guys this Thanksgiving!
Con muchisimo amor
Hermana Snyder
