Catherine's Monday Missive: "Lobo"
Querida Familia,
Today we took our laundry to be washed at the casa of Hermana Zabala. She lives about three miles from our house. We took a cab and I thought it would be fun to count every dog that I saw on the way. Would you believe... thirty five! Thirty five, un-nudured, mangiy stray dogs. Well bueno, some were staring out the windows of houses. But thirty five, sniffing, licking, running and playing! All looking for a home. A bite to eat. A sister Missionary to bark at...
Tonight we are having a noche de hogar or family home evening with the ward. Were going to play efy games and wear jeans! Were ready and I think the people will actually come! We´re exited and are hoping the members will bring lots of friends that need to be baptized.The couselor in the bishopric, Hermano Cansela, announced yesterday in RS and Priesthood that the ward has three goals to effect the Obra Misional or MIssionary work here in San Luis. They are goals that come from the Stake Presidency. They include for each family, 1-inviting a friend to sacrament meeting, 2-setting aside one hour a week to leave with the missionaries, and 3-to have a Family Home Evening with a less active famliy or recent convert.
Isnt that wonderful! I just smiled, because I know that we are being part of a great change here in San Luis. Mendoza stake, didnt think like this. Its a bigger city and there are a lot of stalwert members, but things move different. We are very excited and happy for this change. I extend the same goals to you all! Why not, jump on the Train San Louis! Hermano Cansela promised the ward many blessings and I send them to you all as well.
Well loved the pictures of Fourth of July. Admittedly, don´t know some of the toddlers. Im assuming they are from our family because they made it on the Casady virtual Shrine. And was that shirtless Dan or Ryan sleeping? Mysteries...
We are orking "a fool" and it feels good. I realize more every day how much I love you all, love Heavenly Father and the saints here in Argentina. It is just like the John Lennon Song,"Love is feeling...feeling love...Love is knowing...knowing love!"Well, maybe being a missionary has nothing to do with John Lennon or Yoko, but I think he had some truth in his words. Like the prayers of the Catholics...
con cariño,cath
