Dear Mom,
Things have actually been going REALLY well!!!
Nedín is just the biggest "regalón"!!! She came to church for the 4th time and was finally able to stay for 2nd hour so she attended gospel principles and loved it! There was one little part that went array. The teacher is really good, but messed up a little because she said "no se puede lograr la exaltación y regresar a vivir con Dios sí no es casado!" Needless to say she was a bit rustled up, but she stayed calm and quiet and when we went to visit her in the afternoon we talked to her about it and explained the millenium a bit and cleared everything up! We also taught her the Word of Wisdom and in the middle of teaching it, she committed to letting go of tea! She ALWAYS follows through on her readings and some she reads multiple times if she feels like it! She's going strong on her date for the 18th of July!
We also have Arnoud Delmont and Gracien Delmont, the Haitian brothers! Elder Leles and I decided it was critical we get some missionaries that speak French to help teach them because they just couldn't progress anymore. We called an American missionary who had supposedly taught himself French on the mission. We planned a lesson with him and our Haitian bros in the church and it turned out to be amazing! The Elder that helped us spoke very good french and we set up a schedule to meet up twice a week to teach them! Arnoud has his date for the 1st of July and Gracien will have the same date if he commits to keeping the law of chasity and works towards marrying his not-wife when she arrives to Chile. They explained that they weren't sure about getting baptized beforehand because they didn't understand things too well, however, now they are comfortable with the idea.
It's pretty exciting to see things falling into place even though I have probably only 4 more weeks in this area. I kinda hope I don't leave but that would be very unlikely. But yeah... allí estamos(there we are)...
2-3 baptisms lined up as I leave here and I'm really interested to see how things will be when their families of 6 each get here later this year. I'll see if I can get some pictures with them too! That's what's happening over here!
-Elder Sierra
