from the coldest place in the world

Jun 22 2015

m writing this email from the coldest place in the world.  Everything froze last night and when i left the house so did my hands.  So we will see how much i can get out before my fingers snap off.  

Its getting dang cold here.  Each night it leaves a killer frost that turns our house into a refrigerator.  We wake up early so that we can make a fire and iron our shirts ( the two warmest things you can do) and then once we get a little warm we start to work out.  

This week has been a big success.  Well on paper... a real disaster, but we feel good about it.  This week we got up at 5:45 to go do surprise exercises with RíoBueno.  That was Thursday.  And then we did divisions in Lago Ranco.  Lago Ranco is beautiful.  You guys should look it up. Being a Zone Leader.... It is a huge pain in the booty,  I like it, but there are so many things that you need to be worried about that you can have a really hard time balancing time in your sector and time with the zone.  I have to admit, by Sunday i was feeling really stressed.  But i said a prayer and i felt amazing after.  Then i took the sacrament and i felt completely healed.  Its not that the stress went away, but its that i felt totally calm about all of the things.  

We have a sick new investigator that is going to be baptized.  when?  no idea.  But she will be baptized.  We had a killer lesson with her this Tuesday.  Her name is Carmen and she is a pastry Chef.  Awesome.  But we showed her the video of gracias a que El vive, and it blew their socks off.  She was saying that she has been looking for a church to go to for years, because her kids have been wanting to go. She is stoked and we are going to teach her the restoration tomorrow. 

this week i really want work hard and not think about next week.  It is the weirdest experience.  I don't know if i should be excited or sad.  So one hour im really excited and then the next im sad.  Its weird.  I set the goal to think about the now and not the future for this whole week.  So we will see how that goes.  

I am so grateful for you guys. I love you bunches.

Tu Bello hijo, hermano, amigo,

Elder Borup
