Como Estas? Hopefully everyone had a good week. Thank
you all for emailing me. I hardly get letters to it's good to get
emails. So just a recap of the last week:
Monday:
Today we played Zone sports, and did our usual preparation day things.
Later that night we found a guy named Antonio, he is from Honduras, and
doesn't speak a word of English. but we have been teaching him. He knows
a lot of stuff on the Bible, but doesn't believe that there is only one
true church.
Tuesday:
We had interviews with President Toone, and had a training on how to be
more Christ-like disciples. My interview went really good, and I also
had one with Sister Toone. She is awesome, she reminds me a lot of Mom.
Wednesday:
We had District Meeting and talked about the Christ-like attribute of
Charity. This week we are focusing on Hope. Each week we try to
implement a Christ-like attribute.
Thursday:
We drove out to Arizona City for the first time, as we were looking for
one of our investigators who recently moved. We found her mom. Her name
is Deanna. We began teaching her and it went awesome. She is legit, and
we are super excited to be able to teach her. Later we went to Eloy, and
had dinner with Hermana Bautista! We love her she reminds me of Grandma
Pat because she will feed you and feed you and feed you even when you
don't want anymore! After dinner we went to the Church. My companion,
me, and the trio of elders are teaching an English class. We had about 8
students show up, so we are teaching them all how to speak English.
It's super funny to hear how they pronounce words. I'm sure people feel
that way about me when I try to speak Spanish. The class was a success,
and we will continue every Thursday to teach.
Friday:
Today we had Weekly Planning, and got to go to INandOUT Burger! It was
super good, I love it! They have scriptures on the bottom of all the
cups and trays! We also got new updates on our Ipads, that now show us
when we get emails. It's super distracting because I get everyone's
emails! As if Facebook isn't a big enough distraction. Anyways later
that night we ate the Montelongos and they know Marde Rutt, one of the
nurses that works at Onesource! They wanted me to tell her Hi!
After we
got this weird phone call from Hermana Habana to come over to her house.
We have been working with her daughter Kelcey since I got to Casa
Grande. Missionaries have been working with her for over 3 years. She
has a strong desire to be baptized, but her dad won't let her. Anyways
we went over to their house and she made us dinner.. again! YAY..
Anyways she goes "do you want the bad news or the good news first?" I
said "hit me with the bad" she then preceded to tell us that Kelcey
couldn't get baptized... the goes JUST KIDDING KELCEY's getting
baptized! She is on date for the 9 of Agosto! We are so stoked, and
humbled to finally have this miracle brought to pass. Kelcey has been
waiting for a really long time. Many prayers have been in her behalf.
Saturday:
We had an awesome lesson with Deanna, and she is super excited to
continue learning more about the Gospel. Oh... so I ate cow stomach...
that was the nastiest thing ever. Don't ask me why I eat the weird stuff
I just kinda have to. The goat wasn't that bad, but still after
watching die.. yeah no fun.
Sunday: Today we had the Mission President's Fireside. It was really good, and super spiritual!
Today: We hiked CG Mountain and 5 this morning! It was so much fun, I
got jumping cactus caught in my foot! Woohoo. Next P-day we are going
golfing, and the next one after we are going to the TEMPLE! I'm so
excited. It's been forever seems like.
Well that's about all I got right now! PLEASE send me letters,
everyone in my house gets letters everyday except me.. And I never got
Melissa's letter that she sent a week ago.
Have a good week! Love you all
