HOLA Y'ALL

haha the subject of my letter cracks me up!!! 

Hola (spanish)

Y'all (southern)

HAHAHAHAHAHA

ok actually it's kinda dumb...

OK lots to tell you this week!!

First off just want to let you know that when the Lord humbles you..... it's like getting hit with a spiritual brick.... it hurts, but then he puts a band aid on it and sends you back to work. Basically that happened to me this week. Last week end was SO rough! But I guess that comes with missionary work. I was in a foreign area and feeling completely and utterly hopeless. And then on top of that we have not been able to see ANY of our investigators this week. They are all out of town! How do 4 people just happen to be out of town for a week and how do those 4 people end up being our investigators?!?! it's NUTS ;) Well all me and my Companion do is laugh about it :) Almost ALL of our plans have fallen through this week but it has been a neat experience to be guided by the spirit because I can testify that we have been lead to people that need us at that moment. My companion and I have recognized the spirit guiding and directing our path as missionaries. We have been having more success with less actives, which is GREAT!! we visit with them and teach them, and I am getting addicted seeing their spark of the gospel being rekindled. 4 of them came back to Church yesterday!!! ITS INCREDIBLE!!!

So the investigator that we have really been trying to work with is ____________. She was found before I got here but she is ready to be baptized. But she is having a hard time. She has said that she knows that the Church is true but when she prays to know, she blocks out the answer because she knows that she will have to act on it. She loves the spirit and recognizes it. She has been out of town all week so we have not been able to see her yet. When she gets back, we are going to talk to her about Faith and acting by faith brings blessings. Hopefully she will open her heart to the Lord and let the Spirit Testify the truth! Keep your fingers crossed!

The ward that we work in is so hilarious. There are 3 families... everyone is related! When we go and visit they will say "oh you know my 3rd cousins nephew, yeah he is the young men's president." haha it's funny, but it makes it hard because everyone is related.  So me and my companion are thinking of ways that we can help the ward get involved in Missionary work. They take such good care of us though! Not a day goes by that we are fed southern food! We have had to keep our other meals basic and less fatty because these guys love their food! haha One family in particular help us out a lot!! The ____________.  The parents LOVE missionary work. The mom served in Argentina and the Dad served somewhere in the states (I think).  In fact we were at their house last night. IT WAS GREAT! So they live out in the "county" (to me the whole city if Cochran in country but they call it down town...) and on their property hatched THOUSANDS of baby frogs! They were everywhere! We were joking that Moses must be sending a famine to Cochran! We were picking them up and they were no bigger than a dime! so CUTE!!!

No news on Visa. But I guess reassignments usually take 1-2 transfers.

Yes I got the Letters with the money! and Conner's Drawings!! I miss that! Send more when you can bud! I actually have it hanging up in the study room! OOOOO draw a dragon and send it to me!!! I miss those pictures!!!

MOTHERS DAY IS COMING!!! And yes it is much longer than 9 minuets! IT's a whole HOUR!!! YAY!!! hahaha we know that we are able to skype but we first have to find a member that has the internet, then see if they have the skyping ability on their computer. I forgot about the time difference.  Ummm what might just happen is that I call you before we skype then actually get on skype :) but plan on it being after Church 12 or 1 for you (so 2 or 3 for me) not sure yet. Our mission president will let us know this week :)

OOO space derby.... sounds like fun.... haha I am sure that it will be great!!!

I'm sad that Conner isn't having a good baseball year. That stinks!! Well keep a positive attitude bud! I know that its hard right know but it will get better! If one thing that I have experienced here on my mission is that you can be put in situations that can be really hard and not enjoyable. Like for example me being here in Georgia. I am having a very hard time here and its hardly EVER the way that I have planned but I have been able to see the reason of why I am here. I have grown a lot and experienced a lot that make me feel better prepared for Argentina. Maybe you are on this team to help bring you teams spirits up? I don't know but I challenge you to find your purpose! As a missionary we have a purpose that we say every morning. Find your purpose for you being on this team! I promise that if you do, you will have a greater joy in the game and in your love for playing the sport!! Your a smart kid, and I know that you can figure it out! Know that I love you and that I am cheering for you! Hey you can brag and say, "Yeah I have a fan that lives clear out in Georgia! yeah I'm that popular!" hahaha no don't say that (even though its true!) Luv you buddy!!

Oh one more thing... I feel extremely bad but I broke the bishops GPS that we use and I am going to replace it so if you see a purchase from Walmart and wonder what the heck I am buying, that's it. I'm so sorry! But I kinday think that the money grandma gave was inspired. She listened to an angel that knew Sister Creason as butter fingers and is charge of the GPS..... nightmare waiting to happen.... :)

Love you all!! and talk to you on Sunday!

Hermama Creason!
