First off...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! I
hope you have the very best birthday everrr! You're the best dad in the
whooole wide world! :) I hope you have some good plans to spend the day
with the family laughing and eating cake and lets not forget a "scoop a
banilla ice cream!" :) Thanks for loving me and supporting me always! I
loove you sooooo much!
Welp...can you believe Matthew's a MISSIONARY!
Woooooah. That's soo insane. I've been thinking about him non-stop ALL
WEEK. No joke. I keep wondering what time it is there...trying to
remember what he would be doing...I'll be honest...the MTC is a lil
blurry. Haha...it feels like it's been forever...but at the same time
just a few weeks back.
This week in Caleta Olivia was AWESOME! Maxi got baptized on Saturday!
Yahooo:) The Elders helped us soo much with him. Elder Murua baptized
him and it was an awesome day! The only down side? The water was really
cold. Poor Maxi was shivering. Oh well..ya fue! Maxi wanted me to speak
about the Holy Ghost so I did that and then we had made some brownies
for after to share...the members were awesome and brought some cakes and
desserts so we had quite a bit of food after! It's been super fun
working with Maxi. I don't know how much I've told you about
Maxi...probably not a lot. He's 19 years old. Hermana Hundley and
Hermana Rasmussen contacted him one day on the street and he showed up
to church the last sunday of last transfer...from there Hermana
Rasmussen and I started to teach him...he got baptized in just four
weeks! I think this week he's gonna get the priesthood and on Sunday he's gonna bless the sacrament! I think :) Anyway...Saturday
was a great spiritual boost and Hermana Rasmussen's first baptism so
she was super happy:) Thanks for your prayers on his behalf! :)
On Sunday...Maxi
got confirmed a member of the church by Elder Tyler. Then I got roped
into singing with Elder Murua. What a joke. Elder Murua sings like a
freaking angel. I've honestly never heard a 22 year old guy that sings
better in my life. That makes it fun to sing with him...but also super
intimidating. Elder Murua doesn't know anything about reading music...so
he sings it his own way..in other words...he improvises. He told me
while we were practicing during the week..."Hermana don't worry...I'm
not sure how I'm gonna sing it yet..but it will sound good on Sunday
I promise. Just trust me!" Alright...trust Elder Murua, Hermana Heath.
We sang the EFY medley...it was good times. Okay...I was like dying of
fear. I still don't like being the center of attention in that way...he
sang great though and everyone afterward told us it sounded really
pretty. The things I do in the mission.
On Tuesday
we had our district meeting...we ate pancakes before to celebrate Elder
Tingey's birthday...poor kid is stuck in Puerto Deseado...three hours
away. Bummer. Anyway...I had finished eating and Elder Alvarez who was
sitting next to me was still going. He was down to one BIG bite left and
he was full so he picked it up on a fork and asked if I wanted it...I
was also full but opened my mouth as a joke..as my companion and I
laughed at the look on his face he quickly shoved the pancake into my
mouth...it was a huge bite and I was laughing so hard that I couldn't
chew or swallow. Good times. That's my zone leader for ya. Reeeeal
mature. The district meeting was awesome though. We had a party. Elder
Tingey gave me two alfajors for my birthday and I gave him..you'll never
guess...a pack of Mac n cheese! What a nice person I am...seriously. I
don't just give away mac n cheese to just cualquier persona...but he
came in my group to argentina from the mtc and we're friends so I was
super nice and shared with him. He was super happy.
Ummm...I can't really think of anything else that
happened this week. We were just a full with the baptism preparation. I
love love love being a missionary. It's seriously the best! I hope you
all have a fantastic week! Everyone give dad great big hugs for me! I
hope you had a good week at camp Kim. So many good memories haha.
I love you all soo much! Keep being excellent people and remember to say your prayers! Have a fantastic week!
Hugs and kisses from the bottom of the worlddd!
