Que tal familia!
Hey guys it sounds like everything is going great at home and you guys are
getting a lot done! I love hearing about what you do during the week, cause I
can picture you guys doing these activities and for some reason it usually makes
me laugh. Just cause you guys are so funny. But speak of the devil I have a
funny story for you, but I think you might've had to be there. Anyways, so we
were eating dinner sometime during this last week and as we went to leave we all
started putting on our suit coats that hang on a big coat rack while we eat.
Then all of a sudden E. Stevenson, in my district starts yelling and getting all
mad. So we go over to him and he's holding this huge stack of cookies in his
hand and he says, "Hey who the heck put these cookies in my pocket, it's really
not funny?" We're all like, well we didn't do it. But he's getting really mad
about it for some reason so he marches over to the garbage and spitefully throws
the stack of cookies away. Then we all start cracking up, which makes him more
mad, because we look at his name tag and he is wearing the wrong suit coat
hahaha. It was sooo funny, and the best part is that some other pudgy Elder had
stashed a bunch of cookies in his pocket for a snack later haha.
Well anyways I had a really great week, I don't have much new to tell you.
I'm still working hard but I feel like my spanish has kind of plateued a little
bit. So we've planned two days this upcoming week where all we are going to
speak is spanish, so that should help me get out of this spanish rut. We're
picking up two new "investigators" tomorrow, so we'll be teaching four now. But
this time they are going to be another companionship in our district. We'll
teach one of them while the other Elder acts like a member, and then switch off.
It's helpful because we've all come up with an 'investigator' character, usually
someone in our own lives that we think could use the gospel. It will be good
because it will help us understand how an investigator must feel in order to be
converted. Also we'll understand better the role members play in the conversion
process. Also I have a bit of a favor to ask. I'll be studying and teaching the
Gospel of Jesus Christ this week (lesson 3, chap 3 in Predicad Mi Evangelio) and
I was wondering if you guys wanted to study it with me this week, then send me
your thoughts or teaching suggestions so I can get some different points of view
(other than E. Wirthlin) and use them next time I teach it? It would be awesome
and I think helpful to all of us. I'll keep telling you what I'll be focusing on
each week so then we can study and learn together and we'll all be on the same
page!
Well life is great on my end, I'm loving every minute! I'm sooooo excited
to get to Mexico and I already am feeling something for the people there. One of
the highlights of my week is after we attend the temple on P-day we have a few
extra minutes so we help out in the luandry. One of the hermanas that works
there is from Veracruz, and we love going and working and talking to her so we
can find out about Veracruz and practice our spanish on a native. As soon as I
found out that she was from where I am going, I automatically just genuinely
loved this woman. It was a weird experience kind of, I can't really explain it.
We are all can't wait to get to Mexico and we found out this week that they
don't send American hermana missionaries to our mission cause it's too dangerous
or terrible living conditions or whatever. Either way we were all feeling pretty
manly when we found that out haha. One of my good friends Elder Curt arrived
this week. It was really great to see him. He has this huge tongan companion
haha it's so funny cause he's just a quiet skinny white redneck. It's pretty
classic. I love the kid though.
I hope everyone has a fantastic week, I love you all so much and can't wait
to spend eternity with you! Joseph Smith is a prophet and the restoration is
real. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. I love Jesus Christ with all that I
have and everything I do is based off of that love. I can't wait to share His
gospel with people that have been needing it their whole lives. I love you guys
and pray for you! Peace out till next week!
