THIS WEEKS EMAILS

Como les va!? YOUR NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS… I sang TWICE this week, a SOLO! Yea, a solo. My comp and I got asked to sing for a special conference that they had here for just Argentina. It was a broadcast for the whole country, President Eyring and Elder Perry spoke. It was so great, well needed for the people here, as for me the parts that I understood were well needed . And it was so personal for them. We got 10 investigators there which was AWESOME for us. Everyone here has to walk so getting people to church is difficult, especially since it is cold. The night before they had an adult session and asked us to sing. Hna burns suggested we each sing a verse BY OURSELVES. I was like heck NO. But I gave in and we did it. And I actually stayed on the key the whole time. We have it on tape for evidence. Then our elders asked us if we would sing at Zone Conference and my comp said yes! I was so nervous. I was seriously freaking out. But the Lord calls us in our weakness…I started to cry during my solo at the end. Partly because the spirit was strong and partly because I was more nervous then I have ever been. And then I realized something…we put limits on ourselves and others WAY too much. The Lords doesn’t put limits on us, in fact he asks us to become perfect like him. We have the ability to do and achieve anything we want. I balled once it was all over and we were sitting again. That was really hard for me to do, but I did it. Don´t ever let yourself or other people limit you to doing ANYTHING. We have the capacity to move mountains. Where is our faith? I def need more!Things are going well in our area. We still haven´t had a baptism but we have really great investigators who are already doing missionary work. They are the best. The problem is Satan is doing his job and working really hard on them right now. The women are strong but their husbands/boyfriends are lacking (I feel for them, I was there not too long ago…why do us women settle? UGH!) I have realized though how HARD Satan works on the men, they are the ones who hold the power to get us back to our Father in Heaven so he knows that if can break them he can break families, wards, stakes, ect. The men need to take extra precautions and us women need to support our spouses. Stop being so naggy! Haha I am totally ranting right now. I have really learned though how important companionship study and inventory is. Those that are married study with your spouse. Learn from each other. It will strengthen your relationship and your relationship with God. The work is moving forward even if we aren´t baptizing yet. Life is good. It has been hard at times and I have realized how completely selfish I can be. My comp shared with me “he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” This is so true and I am right now trying to loose mine. I hope all is well with everyone, thank you so much for your love and support. I am only suppose to receive emails from family, but please write letters! Those are more fun anyways!

Love Hna

The perils of living in Mexico

So this was an up and down week. First down. My camera broke. First up. Resurrected the next day. Who knows how or what but oh yea,shes alive. The next down was kinda rough. On Tuesday i got a really bad headache, which ended up being a migraine. Which ended up keeping me in my bed and in the house from Tuesday afternoon til Friday. It was terrible, for the firs time we weren't working and it was my fault. When i got it on Tuesday we had district meeting, and he was like lets go back to the house, you look bad, but i said no lets work I'm fine. I realized the difference of diligence and stupidity when i near fainted at the lunch meal, luckily we where 7 mins from the house. I talked to Hna Moss the presidents wife, who's like the pèrson you call if your sick. She suggested a couple things we tried a couple things, and well nothing really worked til i took some Bio Electro for migraines, and by Friday morning i was out working again. It was bad. But we all move in the work of the lord. And i than came an up. On Sunday, we had 6 investigators at church! it was awesome! We have five baptisms placed and ready to go, just have a couple more things to teach them all and they'll be ready. One will be the 26th, and four actually should be the next day. So this is our week to close everything for sure. But it was such a blessing to see them all at church, really investigating the Lords church, really trying to find out if its true. Its such an amazing feeling, you gotta love it. Besides that no much is gonna on, still ridiculously hot,but whatever. I hope everybody has a great week!

I love you all..Elder Redfern
