Hello Mom Dad and everyone,
Well this week was just another in the mish. It had been
really interesting to be with a gringo 24/7. He has 5 months and is really big
time worried about everything. The big thing is his Spanish. He speaks great
for his time, he just gets down cuz everyone’s says that I speak like a Latin
and that he still sounds like a gringo. I try to tell him that he speaks fine,
but he doesn’t fell like it’s that great. But he will soon learn that he does
fine. I love him though. I have a great time with him. It’s so much fun
speaking English, but sometimes I miss speaking Spanish.
So on Thursday I went on Divisions in my area and we had
just a kind of bad time. The big part of the time we go to houses just to have
citas fall. It’s awful. So the same thing happened that day. But we did eat
some great food out of this little garage eatery. But before all of that, we
went to a sister in my wards moms’ house to go to talk with her. So we got
talking just small talk with her for like 15 minutes. Then it went a little quiet, so I started the
lesson. And right as we were going to start she started to talk about that she
was married. I got really excited, but then she said he was dead and said that
they had been married civilly and I had to explain to her that I was so excite
about that she had been married civilly is because no one in the south gets
married. And that by being married civilly she could be sealed to him even
though he was dead. So the plan when we got there was to teach the restoration
but when she started talking about that, we decide to teach the plan of
salvation. It was so awesome. We explained all about the temple and what not
and she really liked that. I have never been very good at teaching that lesson
but man that lesson went so well. So the missionary I was with at this time he
asked this sister whose name is Rosa what she is willing to do to be able to
make it to the celestial kingdom. And I had previously in the lesson explained
to get in to paradise you had to be baptized. And she said that she was willing
to get baptized and asked how she could do that. It was sooooo freaking
awesome. The spirit was super strong so we challenged her for the 17th of this
month. We have our next visit with her tomorrow, and so we will see how she is
doing.
WE have gotten a lot of references since I got here and they
had me give a talk in sacrament meeting and talked about missionary work with
the members. So we started working with them. It’s kind of hard cuz people
aren’t always there or they don’t want anything. But we are working hard. I’m
getting really excited for this area I wish I had just a little bit more time
then 2 changes here but we will see. I can’t wait till things get really good.
I love you all
