No whining on the Bridge train. March 12, 2012

Dear Family,
     Weve had a really great week, just getting everyone ready for
conferance and reading old conferance talks and anything else that can
get us excited. Stake conferance went wonderfully, much better than i
let myself expect. our little branch (the town really) can be so much
like a season of the O.C. we just have to keep telling people, we dont
take sides, we dont take sides, thats tough hermana but i really dont
want to hear things like that. yes, yes, thats not fair, im sorry, all
we can do is pray. and on. and on.
       ITs good though, theyre getting better, and were trying to
keep them busy so they fight amongst themselves less. ands its
working. So we have this investigator that we found my first week here
right? graciella is her name. she keeps having just the craziest
problems and has such a life, it would make you greatful for
everything you have after talking to her for 5 minutes, but i guess
thats common here. anyway, without our even suggesting, a couple of
the hermanas in the ward have set up a "date" with her, this
wednesday, theyre all just gonna show up to her house to make her feel
loved and drink mate. graciella has ZERO of that in her life. she has
been thrown around and robbed of love for so long, and i feel like
this will be so important for her. she has alot of doctrinal questions
still but our hermanas are solid, theyre gonna help her a ton, and
then i guess we´ll just drop by thursday and see how it went eh? im
very proud of a few of our hermanas who have really decided that they
finally want to help this branch grow. consecration brings miracles,
tell you what.
   I hope everyone is so excited for conferance. id love to hear from
everyone afterward and have everyone tell me what their favorite talk
was. i love different perspectieves, and that will help us get excited
for when the magazines come out and we can read them all!
     I have alot to be thankful for. and im going to spen the next 6
weeks in almafuerte, with elder hruska, counting my blessings.
           Love yall.
                    Elder Bridge
