our
week was pretty decent! our numbers didn't really show an excellent
week but we had a few really good experiences that made up for all of
it. We've found two new investigators, and i have some news about
patricio and teresa but i'll tell you about it at the end of the email. i
cant believe Brisa got her mission call! where am i gonna guess? uh....
i'm gonna guess Milwaukee, Wisconsin, spanish speaking! haha i don't
know.. speaking of guesses, mi 'ama todavia le deve unas tortillas al
Tim Sharp hahaha desde hace mucho.. There's no way i could've waited a
few days to open my mission call. remember how we planned on it, but we
ended up opening it on that same day? Brisa's more patient than i am..
yes, i got the package this morning! thank you so much! i'm going to be
studying the scriptures you sent me and i'll probly read the book as
well, as soon as i finish the one i'm reading now. man i wanna know
what's up with your interview.. i'm still crossin' my fingers for you!
give them my number so i can put in good word for you. as for the email,
we technically have as long as we want to email, it just depends on
where/how you access the computer. but the rule change that has been
made in regards to email is that we can email whoever we want! crazy
right? parents, cousins, siblings, friends, other missionaries. whoever
we want to contact, we can do it now. isn't that crazy? we all think
so.. haha we're all wondering why the missionary department made a huge
change like that.. who knows, but i'm not complaining! uhhh i think
we'll be able to walk around in just a white shirt after conference?
that's what i heard.. and we had zone conference yesterday and president
mentioned it, so i think it's coming soon. at least i hope so. i'm
tired of wearing a suit every day haha that's crazy that beto is gonna
be a priest.. so cool tho. i just wish i could be there for all that ya
know? i don't see why they wouldn't let you bless the sacrament with
him, i know i felt a lot more comfortable with you up there when i first
did it, i think it'll be fine! oh, also, yes we had to wear our suits
to the game! i'll send you guys a picture..
Mom
yessss i am doing great!
la
calle? no habla mucho. de hecho, no he escuchado que la calle ha dicho
nada. pero voy a poner mas atencion desde ahora! haha i bet you guys are
so tired! i can't believe school is starting the 4th quarter.. i've
been gone for almost an entire school year! crazy.. 8 months. it really
has flown by unbelievably fast.. but i love that it's that way. i wish i
coulda been there to celebrate all the march birthdays haha karla turns
21 tomorrow. she's so old! and i'm 20. that's weird to say. i still
feel like i'm 16. i'm glad the cards got there safely, i hope they both
liked them! what does sammy do? does he not hang out with people from
school? is he still running track? i'm jealous you guys get to go to
the easter pageant.. i was actually talking about it with my roommates
because one of the members in the english ward out here has been to it
and they were telling the elders about it. cool right? i'm always down
to brag about mesa. Man,
we've played volleyball twice out here recently and i just wanna go back
to high school and play again.. don't worry about the package mom, the
one you guys sent me was perfect, that's all i need! i'm super grateful
for you guys and everything you do, you don't need to do more, trust me!
as for my card. i took care of it! i went to the bank, they gave me a
temporary card and i changed the address on it because it was the 3rd
place address.. so i changed it to the Elm St address and they said
they'll send it there, to you guys! so it should be there within a few
days and then you guys can send it out here to me! i hope you don't
mind. uhmm, my shoes are starting to tear, but i think i can wear them
out a little bit more, so we're good for now. i think i'm good with
everything, but in like a month or so it'd be nice if i could get a few
short sleeved shirts.. everyone says summer out here is brutal and that
short sleeves would be a good idea. so yeah. in the future i'll let you
know what i need. oh by the way, the name of our ward is "concourse"
... el barrio Concourse! ya tu sabe!
Other things.
Yobanna
is still active! we've been working with her trying to get her to go to
seminary but it's too hard because her school is too far, and if she
goes to seminary she'll be late to school and that's not an option.. you
wanna know what she said to me tho? we were talking to her about having
good friends and surrounding herself with people who will help her stay
on track and stuff like that, and we got to talking about temple
marriage.
Patricio and Teresa. last you guys knew, they broke up. well, we
only expected patricio to come to church on sunday, but after we sang
the opening hymn in sacrament we looked back and they both walked in
together. i'm sure you could imagine how happy and excited we were. so
we talked to them after and they said that they're gonna try to work
things out after all. we're visiting them tonight so i'll be sure to let
you guys know how it goes! but this is super good news :)
new investigators. we knocked
into this lady named maria. i told her we were there to bless her and
her family and she started crying and let us in. we just got to know her
a little bit and found out she's very catholic and her husband is too.
but she's willing to talk about God so we're going back on saturday to
see how we can help her and her husband.. we also Have Jaime and Gladis.
they are columbian and they were a referral from another set of
missionaries in harlem. we've been over there twice and we love them
they are awesome! Jaime is really open to everything we have to say and
asks really good questions, but his wife Gladis is suuuuppppperrrr
catholic and the only questions she asks are questions to try and
disprove the things we believe in.. so it's going to be a little bit of a
challenge with her, but i can definitely see Jaime getting in the water
if you know what i mean! so we're excited to be teaching them.
Me and my companion still get
along really good and we're both trying really hard to always be in sync
and i think thats helped our companionship a lot! we never argue or
anything, we always seem to be on the same page, whether we're teaching
or planning or whatever. and i'm grateful because it's the first time
i've had a companion where we both think the same and share our ideas
and really we just have no problems with deciding what to do or where to
go or anything. so it's going great!
other than that, i don't really have any more news.
so let me know if there's anything you would like me to do for you guys,
okay? Los quiero mucho, cuidense por favor!
