como estan? i hope everything is good with you guys!
soooo as you can see... KAREN GOT BAPTIZED!!!!! it was the best!!! ive
waited 4 months for this!! and it was all worth it! it was kinda of a
fiasco the day of and before... but it all turned out super amazing! the
day before there was a tiny little hiccup with karen, and i wasnt there
because we had intercambios... so the other hermana was kind enough to
suggest that karen could WAIT another week.... what kind of an INSANE
idea was that?? i had to do the little calm down exercise that chin po
does in mulan!!!! ;) karen also called the hermanas that night to talk
to me because she wanted to be sure that "her hermana" didnt abandon
her. but it was an awesome experience, she had to get baptized in a
temple dress because non of the baptismal clothes that the ward had
would fit. and her mom and grandma and uncle and cousin were all there
to support her along with alot of people from the ward!! i of course
cried from the joy of it all.. you know me! she was sooo happy!! i have
every hope in the world for her!! and wanna know what is even more
awesome in this story.. her mom who was never really open to us and
didnt want anything to do with the church, wants to be baptized too! and
her grandma cried at the baptism and wants the lessons as well!! :) the
TRAGIC part of it all is that we have cambios this wednesday and theres
a 99.9 % chance that im leaving this area. im super sad about it
actually! but im so grateful for the experiences that ive had here. we
had an awesome sunday as well, conformation of karen and we had andrea
in the church and her adorable kids and diana and it was great! mirian
who is goin to be baptized mirian didnt come to church.. we found out
why.. she actually is really really scared of baptism because her other
baptism was a horrible experience. but we helped her with that and i
pray that she will be baptized in 2 weeks! so the last 6 weeks have
flown by and i cant believe it. but i love the mission so much and all
the things that im learning. i realized that the success of your
mission, or your life basically, depends on your relationship with your
heavenly father and jesus christ.. duh right?? but really... if your
relationship is really good with them, everything else in your life, may
not be easy.. but it will be so much better! i love you all so much and
hope all is well! always keep the faith! :)
love, Hermana McDougal
