Dear Family and Friends,
How are you guys? Are
you still all at g’mas house? How is everyone? Thank you for the pictures of
Everett!! He is the cutest! Jessica don’t
worry about sending too much! I love all of them and you can send me all you
want! This computer is being dumb and I can’t watch the video, but still send
me videos because usually I can watch!! He is so chubby and cute. I can’t wait
to meet him. Does he cry a lot? Does he have a lot of clothes? How is he with
everyone at g’mas house? Is Jess nervous about everyone holding him? Tell me
everything! How was the Easter egg hunt? Did Rae and Carter find anything with
money? Tell Aunt Leslie thank you for the email! I will try to email back this
week but I’m a little behind after all the birthday wishes from last week haha.
My Easter here was
great. A tradition here is to eat fish and things with coconut. At lunch the
family that we ate with made sooooo much fish and it looked so good. Well I
made the mistake of telling them that I am a little allergic to fish and they didn’t
even let me try a little bit!! I’m not even allergic anymore I don’t think. Ugh
so I didn’t get to try the fish salad or the fried coconut fish. And it looked
sooooooo good! I was sad. She made me chicken though. But I did get to try
coconut beans and it was really good. I’ve gotten a lot of chocolate eggs and
bunnies too. I think I’ve came to the conclusion that a diet is impossible
here. Only if you get sick haha.
Conference was
awesome!! I watched it in Portuguese again and wow it was so much easier this
time. I didn’t think that I improved that much, but for sure there was a big
difference from last time. I’m still looking forward to watching in English
again though and understanding everything easily haha. I loved the last session
the best. I really liked the talk about enduring to the end and the 6 things to
do to endure to the end. It was perfect for me. He answered a lot of my
questions and things I’ve been thinking about lately. I like when he said the
hanging in there isn’t a gospel principle. There is a big difference between
hanging in there and enduring to the end. When we are doing our part and really
living the gospel we won’t have to just hang in there, but we can live happily
and righteously. I liked the emphasis he gave on reading the Book of Mormon
everyday, everyday, everyday!! I can’t remember exactly or if this is just my
imagination but I think he even talked specifically to missionaries to not go
home and stop doing the things we learned here on the mission. He said true
followers of Christ search to have the company of the Spirit every single day.
I also like Elder Anderson and Pres Eyring in the Women´s session. Who were
your favorites?
The
family we are teaching is doing great. They came and watched all the sessions on Sunday. It
was so cute the daughters were taking notes during conference. I saw E looking over to see what I wrote and then she would write the same thing too.
:) It made me smile. They said that they learned a lot. One setback...they took
a while to get all the paperwork organized for the wedding and now are going to
get married on the 18th one week later. Which is fine, but we have transfers on
the 12th, so probably either me or Sister Vasquez won’t get to be there for the
wedding and baptism :(:( super sad! But as long as it happens that’s all that
matters. I would love to be there though. Who knows maybe we will stay together
another transfer. It could happen!
I can’t send pictures
this week because this computer is bad, but I’ll send more next week. Thank you
for all the pictures! I love all of them! I hope you have a great week out
west. Love you guys!!
Love,
Sister Bedke
