How's everybody doing? How was the 4th of July? My 4th was pretty
eventful except Los Mexicanos don't celebrate much, but it was still
fun! We decorated my apartment with decorations for the holiday, and
then Sister Jensen and I threw together a mini BBQ with Eduardo (my
grandpa), Olider, the Elders, and the Rodriguez family! We bought
hamburgers, hotdogs, and also ate s'mores! The Rodriguez brought
horchata, and tamarindo, and we played with bubbles, glow sticks and
with the football. It was quite the makeshift party! I watched a little
bit of fireworks by my apartment on the 3rd, but they were nothing
compared to Idaho Falls! All in all it was a good weekend!
Miracle time!! So lately our teaching pool has been getting smaller
and smaller because people aren't willing to keep commitments so we have
to move on without them. Anyways Sister Jensen and I have been praying
all week to find new people before transfers come. Well, Friday
morning we went to each companionship in our zone and asked if they had
some fun finding ideas. One of the companionships said to talk with the
Eloteros, they are the people that ride around on Nacho Libre bikes and
sell corn. We thought, why not? Let's do it! So Friday
afternoon we were walking around in this apartment complex and its 111
degrees outside, no one is outside for very good reason. So we keep
walking and we see this little Elotero, I'm talking little like 4 ft
little, selling drinks to two guys. We ran over there and started
talking with them. Well, as you see, the Elotero had been talking to these
two guys about God, then guess who walks up... Yep the missionaries!
BAM! They were so flabbergasted by us because they had just been talking
about God. We ended up having an awesome street contact, and set up a
return appointment with them! We are stoked! Also, that same night we
found 6 new investigators! Coincidence? I think not, God answers
prayers!
This week was super good! I had my final doctors appointment for my
arm, and everything is healed! Also, we went hiking this morning at
Montaña del Sur it was super fun!! I love the outdoors, especially in
beautiful Arizona! I hope everyone has a good week! Keep in touch!
Con Amor,
