Hola
Family…
Sounds
like everyone is doing super good! I
still can’t believe school is all started up and going…wow!! Did you know that
in one year exactly from yesterday I will be at home with you guys! Isn’t it
just crazy how fast time flies when your in the work of the Lord?
This
last week was super good!! My companion
and I were really feeling the spirit….we had so many super strong spiritual
lessons. We put a date for baptism with one of our investigators that we have,
his name is Ricardo. I am so excited for him! I love seeing the progress that is happening
here. We can all really feel the work of the Lord. Our ward has been really
working well with us missionaries. We have every meeting possible and the
members are doing their home teaching now. The church was full on Sunday, but I would love to see it
more full! We are striving hard every
day to do our part, and to be the voice of the Lord.
This last week was also really awesome
because I got to go on divisions with Elder Rodas. Elder Rodas is my Zone Leader now. It was really
fun to get to teach and catch up with him again. He is the man haha!!
Here
is a story for you all… Elder Leon and I were sitting in the park the other day
and these people who were about our age were shooting hoops. One of them asked
us if we would like to play. We had a little bit of time, so we shot some hoops
with them for a little while and when we were leaving one of the girls that was
playing tried to kiss me haha. They didn’t know that missionaries don’t say
goodbye and hello like that. I was like ummm we don’t do that haha...but maybe
in 2 years hahahah it was super funny!!! This is the 2nd time that has happened…but
the other time it was an old lady and she snuck the kiss on me. I didn’t even
see it coming haha. But the thing is… these people have never talked to missionaries
before and I could just see the seed being planted. Who knows probably one day
they will end up being members of the church:)...
Well, I love all of you so much!!! I hope
you guys all have a good week!! Good luck in school, and work.

The ledge outside our front door
Oh my goodness... Justin had a horrible ledge outside of his door when he was on a mission, too! There was all this spikey rebar sticking up at the bottom. Scary!!! Why do they build places like that?
