Another Crazy Week..

Hey Mom and Dad,

Wow sounds like a pretty intense week. I´m sorry to hear about Great-Grandpa Whiting. He was who we visited for those few hours when we went on the trip to Yellowstone and Glacier National Park who showed us the little guitar. I´m sure that´ll be especially tough for Grandma but as you said it´s comforting to know he´s in a better place and now with Great-Grandma Whiting again. That´s interesting because I just found in a drawer in our house a stack of Liahonas (Every house of missionaries has about a thousand old Liahonas hiding somewhere :) One of them had the memoriam to President Hinckley that came in the Ensign when he passed away. So I was looking at that again. One part it said that less than six months before his wife passed away he said in a conference that he knew that not too long one or the other may pass through the veil of death, and that he hoped that the other would follow soon, because he just wouldn´t know how to get along without her, on either side of the veil. It´s such a beautiful part of the Gospel to know that if we´re faithful here we´ll be forever together with our family.

This coming Saturday we should have a baptism for a couple that have been coming to church for over a year! Manuel and his almost-wife Patricia. They are going to get married on Thursday and then get baptized on Saturday! They´re awesome. It´s at the point where we don´t even know what more we can teach them, lol. Manuel is awesome he says he already considers himself Mormon. We´re now actually trying to focus more on the daughter of Patricia, Kimberly (yeah totally an English name).

Other than that there really isn´t too much news. Sorry I haven´t been sending many pictures back home. To tell the truth I almost never take my camera out because I´m afraid it´ll get stolen so I end up only using it to take pictures at baptisms. But I think here I´ll have to take it out more. I felt bad because in Quevedo I didn´t take many photos at all so here I´ll have to take more. Here´s a photo of Elder Cruz and you´ll have to direct your attention to his left shoe, lol. There are a lot of dirt roads here and thus many muddy parts with the rain and this day he accidentally stepped in a mud hole, lol. We had a good laugh at that. I´ll also try to attach a photo of a little pet turtle of Manuel that he showed us, lol.
But ok thanks for everything.

Love,

Elder David Frome

PS Oh and that´s great you had the missionaries over again! Yeah I personally love using that video of the mediador with investigators. It´s so powerful :)
