14 November 2009--Last weeks missing letter!

Well I can't believe it, but somehow I forgot to send the letter from last week. My bad. Ha Ha, a week late, its all good. I was suprised when you said you didn't get it.


It was another good week, I just can’t believe how fast time is flying. It seems like just yesterday when I was writing. As always things in the office have been pretty busy, we have a group of 24 going home this Tuesday, and it is always a lot harder when big groups leave. I have a pretty good system down to get all of their credit cards and emergency funds, so it isn’t too bad. We have a group of 16 coming in too, so it is going to be a fun week. It looks like my companion Elder Mera is going to be heading for home in about 2 weeks. They usually don’t let people with chrom serve missions, but he is going to complete a year the 18 of this month. The doctor just doesn´t think that he can handle the stress and work of the mission. He really gets tired a lot. He seems pretty excited to go home though. Its sad to see him leave a year early, but he will be able to recover better in his house. So I am going to have a new companion in the next couple weeks. So we will see how that turns out.

We have been working hard with the familia Delgado. Always when someone gains a testimony satan works hard to try to distract them from the correct decision they have made. The hna Jenny has had a couple of doubts that a few people have put into her head about the church, and we have been trying to animate her all week. It really is amazing how that works, but I have seen it my whole mission. That a person or family is way excited for their baptism, and then satan starts working on them. Then we have to fight it out until the very end, and they end up making the right decision. Its always a fight, but we got this. We have the lord on our side. The whole family are going to come to church Sunday, and hopefully to the baptism of the hna Erica tomorrow too. To feel that spirit strongly in the church again is going to help them a ton. They weren’t able to make it to church last week too, and I think that might be a little bit of the problem. We are still planning on the 15th for Hna Jeannette, Jenny, and Anthony though. I know with our prayers they will be baptized, and the rest of the family is going to follow after.

I ran into Pablo Pando last Sunday too. How small the world is, to run into one of my friends from back home. He lived out in Vernon, and was always coming to school with Colin. I haven’t seen him in like 6 years, how crazy it ways to find out he live in our ward! It was good to talk with him, and we were trying hard to animate him for the mission too. He said just seeing me down here made him want to go. So we´ll see what happens, but it was really an awesome experience.

Its great to hear everyone is doing so well back home, and I am always praying for your guys. Thanks for being such an awesome family. Don’t know what I would do without you. Talk to you next week!

Love, Elder Lee
