Hello friends and family!!! Wow what a week it has been!!! We have seen so many miracles and tender mercies this week. Today was actually the best Pday ever!!! Today we went to Piriapolis which is one of the prettiest and most touristy parts of Uruguay, We rode a ski lift up a mountain and hung out at the beach and just had the best day. We met a few Americans because there were lots of cruise ships docked here today!!! We literally had the best time. Definitely relieved a lot of stress and we are ready for this week!!!
Best news from the week is that my invesitgator Fernanda has a baptism date!!!! She will be getting baptized the 15 of October. I ca not explain the happiness I am feeling. I cried (actually bawled) when she committed to being baptized. Since we planned her date she has been inviting everyone to her baptism, haha she is super excited and I am so so happy for her. My first convert is on the way!!!!!! The other best part. We had a couple of charlas with just her husband Alfonoso this week and he came with us to a noche de hogar(family home evening) and he is really starting to love the church and what it has to offer. We are planning on a baptism there in the next cambio and then they are planning to work on getting to the temple. I love my mission!
This week we have a new investigator! His name is Antonio and his girlfriend and mother in law are members. They just moved here so we are getting them accustomed to Maldonado. He has never had an interest in the church before but all of a sudden he wants to give it a try so we are starting the discussions and doing lots of noche de hogars with him.
This week with Marcela was really rough. We found her one day with a new broken arm and just super messed up because she fell drunk in the street again. Well we stayed with her for a while and then she said she was leaving to buy alcohol and we left and then found her down in the street again bleeding. We took her home and stayed with her on and off for about 4 hours just trying to make her stay in because she just runs through the streets if we leave her. Well we finally could not do anything else so we had to leave and I just cried. It was the worst feeling to know I could not do anything to help. But good news. She is probably heading for a facility this week for three months to help her quit drinking and so we are hoping for the best with that.
Conference was awesome!!!!!!! We had to watch them all in Spanish but it was great. Fernanda came to a session and also Antonio. The theme of this conference really was just about how important it is to have a good relationship with our savior and to use the Atonement in our lives. I am so grateful to have a prophet on the earth today and for the opportunity to watch conference. I love you all and hope you have an amazing week. Thank you for the prayers and support. I can feel them.
Le quiero,
Hermana Labrum
