I am FREEZING!!!!

 

Happy Memorial Day from the Cabildo Sisters

 

 

Hola mi familia!!!! como estas?¿?¿??¿?¿

Wow what a great week! Not a lot of new info but it was a good one spiritually!

This week we improved in all of our numbers/goals and we are improving a lot!!! I feel so happy!!!!

I will have to admit that at the beginning of the week I felt a bit down. not down as in sad or upset, more like I felt like I wasn't growing spiritually anymore and my spirit was hungry for some growin! haha. I took one day to study/ think about how I am doing spiritually! I'm not saying that I am struggling, it was just time for me to ponder. I wondered if I had done all that I was meant to do in Argentina or if I had let moments go by. Wondered if I should have had more baptism and wondered what I need to do be better help my investigators prepare to be baptized. As I studied, I came across a talk that I received in Georgia. It was actually a letter that my mission president got from some one. Its called the vision to baptize. It talks about the vision to baptize and what it means to have it.... It changed my life!!!! This week I have grown so much because I have come to know WHY I am a missionary!!! The talk talks a lot about the remission of sins and why that is so important. My eyes have been opened and I know want to baptize the WORLD! haha only because I understand now.

Yesterday I was studying a story in Acts. Its the 2 chapter and I came across something really cool that learned a ton!!! In this chapter Peter is testifying that Christ is resurrected and that the people need to repent and be baptized..... well doesn't that sound familiar! haha well I like what happens later in verse 37. It says that his testimony was so strong that the people where like..... oh um.... what do we do?¿?¿?¿?¿? and right after Peter says very directly REPENT AND BE BAPPTIZED. So direct! Then a few verses later says that 3000 people were baptized!!!!!! WOWOWOWOW!!!!!

I am not saying that I need to baptize 3000 people but I should try because I have come to realize that baptism is the ONLY way to receive a remission of our sins! The whole gospel of Christ revolves around it! U have been marking all of the scriptures that talk about a remission of sins/baptism/clean... DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY THERE ARE?¿?¿? The whole point of the gospel of Jesus Christ is for us to be CLEAN!!!!! The prophets teach us to be clean, so we need to follow the prophets. The scriptures tell us the need to be clean, so we need to read the scriptures. We take the sacrament so we can be clean, so we need to go to church. EVERY commandment or part of the gospel that the end result is for us to be CLEAN!!!!

CAN YOU TELL THAT MY MIND IS BLOWN?¿?¿? haha I feel like I am just of fire with this discovery!! Of course I knew this before but you know that moment when things just CLICK? yeah I basically got hit by a spiritual meteor!!!!! haha

Well investigators are going great!!!

V___________ is still going strong. She doesn't have permission still but she is going to fast (we are too) so that she can show the Lord that she really wants this. Of course she went to church yesterday.

O_________ WENT TO CHURCH TOO!!!! Oh it was amazing! We passed by his house but he wasn't there. So we went to church. In the middle of class he showed up!!!! He is getting baptized June 7th!! Please pray for him!!!

Well love you all so very much!!!

Wow what a week!!!

Lots happened this week but not anything really exciting.

Well I guess

I will just get right off telling you about V___________... her baptism date was Saturday but when we went over on Thursday we had a lesson with her and she told us that her mom said no to baptism.... and because that she is under age, she can't get baptized without her mom signing the baptismal form.... sad day. She almost began to cry!!! She wants to follow the savior so badly but she can't the way she wants to!!!! PLEASE keep her in your prayers!! She told us that she has already considered serving a mission!!! She is 16 and not even a member and wants to spread the gospel to the world!!!!S he is amazing!!! We were a little bummed when that happened... but she is still going strong. She didn't go to stake conference yesterday because she didn't have a way to get there. We hope to be able to talk to her mom this week and help her with questions and stuff like that! hopefully we can get this worked out!!!

and O___________,,,,, what a headach this guy! hahaha Well I am so happy that he has the desires to be baptized but he also didn't go to the conference so he can't be baptized this Saturday because he does not understand the Sabbath day and to keep it holy... we have an appointment with him this tomorrow so we are going to have him repent and get in line with the gospel!!!!

We are also teaching a less active family. The M________ family! I am not sure if I have talked about them yet... they are great! They have been inactive for 14 years but want to go back, but the are so afraid to do it! Saturday we felt like we needed to go to their house so we did. They were surprised to see us but we gave a very strong lesson! We talked about how in the pre mortal life, we were not in families. We were just one great big one! and when we came to earth, this is where we received bodies and FAMILIES! I had never thought about it before! but really our family is a blessing that we receive in THIS LIFE and its our choice if we strive to keep this blessing for eternity! We were promised in the pre mortal life that if we choose to come to earth, we will be resurrected BUT the blessing of an eternal family is only for those that live the gospel of Jesus Christ! It was a very powerful lesson and they began to cry!  It really was the best lesson that I have ever taught in my mission! The spirit witnessed to their hearts AND to mine that those words are true!! It was an experience I will never forget!!!!

Still no bishop yet but our ward is starting to work a little more!... a little.... haha! I really love Cabildo! It is a great area! My companion is GREAT!! We have so much in common! We are already best friends!!

This week I have been studying a lot about how to have a humble heart and trying to give up my natural man! It is so dang hard!!!! but I know that it is necessary!! I will study more this week and let you know how it went!!!! haha

I am glad to hear that you are all doing well!!!

Well ran out of time!!

Love you all soooooooo very much and pray for you every day!!

LOVE YOU

 

Wow what a week and what a great opportunity it was yesterday to talk to you guys!!! It was such an up boost!!

Ok well what a week! As I told you last week I am now a trainer! My companion is Hermana Hammond! She is from Alpine Utah and is AMAZING!!!! I was really nervous to train but she is so ready to work and is really trying to do her best!!! We are going to have a great time together!!! We just click and we have already become real friends! haha She knows a lot of Spanish! A lot more than I did when I got here!  We were tracting in an area that I had never been in before and we decided to knock some doors. I told her to pick one and invited her to do a door approach. Her answer was... Alright! She is great! The woman that she talked to warmly welcomed us into her home and we shared a Book of Mormon with her and said that we can return! It was an experience that I think Hermana Hammond will remember!

OK FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY!! After it happened I have been dying to tell you!!! Yesterday after I talked with you guys, we went and studied and then we left to work. The whole time during my studies I was thinking about when dad asked how O_________ was doing. Well I had thought about it so much that we decided to go find him!.............. WE DID!!!! Him and M__________ (his girlfriend) where there!!!!! We talked with them about desires and that we need to put them in practice. My sweet companion in the middle of the lesson asked if they had a baptismal date and O__________ explained that he had one but things happened. A little bit latter my companion spoke again and she invited them to be baptized for the 24 of May. They kind of looked stunned but O__________ took a second and thought... he then said yes!!! M__________ declined but still wants to learn more but what an experience for her!!!! So O_______ is now preparing for baptism the next week!!!!!

I can feel that miracles are going to happen this transfer!!!!!!!

Ok I feel better that I got to tell you this!! haha

Oh mom I am not trunky........ ok not that trucky... haha no I really am fine! I am actually feeling trunky for the mission! Like I already miss it! haha!

Training is going good! For the new missionaries there is a 12 program that we do every day for 12 weeks that helps the new missionaries and they get to study more. So we are doing that. I really like doing it to. Its reminding me the basics and the best ways to teach. Really every day I tell myself that I want to be the trainer that I want Kenzee to have. I want her to have success in the mission so I am going to help Hermana Hammond have success in hers! I really don't feel like I am training, she came pre trained and ready to learn more!

This week is going to be a good one! We are getting V__________ ready for baptism. She is nervous but I am PRAYING that she gets baptized this week! We still don't have a bishop but we have stake conference this Saturday and Sunday. Hoping that we get one soon! This Saturday we also have Zone conference and its our last one with the Levrinos..... so sad!!!! I can't picture this mission without them!! but I will only have a few months with the new one so I guess we will see what happens.

I just wan to say one thing!!

I want to wish a very very happy mothers day to Sheila Creason!! My mom is the reason that I am here! Well yeah I guess my dad is too but my mom is my best friend, my sister! Hermana Hammond has a lot of quotes and my favorite is "Life doesn't come with a manual, it comes with a Mother!"

LOVE YOU MOMMY!!!!!!!

Came across a chapter that I am absolutely in love with! I just opened my scriptures this morning and I want you guys as a family to study tonight for scripture reading. Romans 5.

LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!!!!

All my love and more

Hermana Creason

Ok what a week! I really don't have a lot of time so first I will tell you the important things and then I can tell you details!

Transfers!!!! And once again there is a change.... Hermana Garibay left and went to Salta and that leaves me here in Cabildo but I don't have my companion yet..... I will be receiving my companion Wednesday fresh from the MTC.... yup I have been called to be a trainer!! I am really excited that I have this opportunity but I am also really nervous... a lot of my companions in the past had trainers that were not  very good and I really don't want to be one of them.... I know that if I do my best and apply everything that I have learned, I won't fail.... but still its a little nerve racking! haha

Well something tragic happened this week. Our Bishop here in Cabildo passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. He passed away Wednesday in the afternoon. It was really sad because we had a little reunion with him Sunday and he was so worried about the members and talked about them individually about their needs. Please keep the P________ family in your prayers!!!

Well because this happened this week our week has been nuts! We have been doing a lot of errands for the ward. Visiting a lot of less actives and telling them the news so our teaching of investigators is muy poco. BUT we finally taught O__________!!!!! It really was a milagro!!!! He is going through a lot of drama right now and doesn't have time but he said that in a few weeks we can come back but for right now its not a good time.... so I guess we will see....

V__________ is going strong! She wants to be baptized on the 17th this month and she is loving learning!!! She really has been prepared and is ready to learn more! I really hope that she makes it to baptism!

Yes we get to Skype for 40 min on Sunday! The problem is that the member that has skype can only let us use her computer at 2 and 3 o clock my time.... not sure if I will go first of last it will depend when is best for my companion..... oh I am so nervous to train!! haha but its all good! haha

Wow the mission is moving fast!! I have 4 months left!! 3 transfers left!!!! I feel like crying!!!! I love the mission and it has changed my life for ever!!! My life will never be the same!!! I can't believe that such short time in the Lords work!!!

Fell short on time because I am about to leave to find my companion!!!

Love you all can't wait to talk to you on Sunday!!!!!

 

LOVE YOU ALL!!!! 

Hermana Creason!!!!
