Hello family!
How art thou? this week has flown by and it was a pretty
good week haha. It went by really fast I will start with your questions:
1. When is John’s baptism date? John’s baptism is on may 7th
at least that is the goal that we set for him so it should be really good. he
is progressing a lot.
2. Any additional thoughts from conference? Any additional
thoughts umm I loved Elder Holland's talk at the end of conference about never
giving up and to rise when you fall and to know that heavenly father loves us
so much but also how much they love us it was a really good talk. I loved the
talk about the priesthood/ and also the talk about forgiveness, I
thought it was super powerful especially if you read the scriptures that
go along with it. I loved all of conference haha. It was an amazing
conference.
3. Best experience this week? The best experience
this week would probably be on Tuesday because we went to the Chinese
buffet of course us missionaries go there cause its a buffet and its so
freaking good! and cheap but anyways a person came up tome and said how
grateful she was for us and said she is really sorry for the missionaries that
were in the bombing at the airport and that she loves us and this girls wasn't
even a member it was really cool to see that. But also right after
that someone guy came up to the table and paid for our lunch for
us which was so nice of him and I am grateful for that person. I didn't
even get to say thank you cause he ran out. But after 2 of our
investigators dropped us which was really sad and it made me mad
haha. Cause they didn't even give us another chance. But obviously
they weren't ready to hear the gospel yet. But after that all of our
lessons canceled which was really sad. So then we just went contacting in
90 degree heat and a ton of random people were stopping in there car and saying
that we were awesome. And they were grateful for what we were
doing. So that was really weird cause that never happens haha.
4. Any new investigators? So since our to investigators
shanea and Jeffery dropped us. We have been praying to find new
investigators and we found one on Saturday! His name is
courtise and when he opened the door we thought we were going to die cause he
looked like he was going to kill us but it turned out that he was really nice
haha and he wants to learn more! And we also found this other girl but I don't
remember her name but she has 2 kids and there are really cool.
5. Craziest food you ate this week? Best food? The craziest
food.. umm nothing crazy this week but we last night we ate Mexican
food. Its called something haha you would probably know mom haha. But is
was really good and I love spicy food now haha. I am becoming immune to it.
There was this amazing salsa to it was homemade it was de best!
So elder Kimber left our apartment the Spanish elder and we
got a new one his name is elder Angulo he is from Ecuador he was living in
Columbia. He is the funniest guy ever haha. I got a handmade tie from his mom.
I will send pictures of it haha. Its pretty awesome haha. But yeah we did
service at the food bank and at plowshares this week was served people food and
we went to this native woman’s house and she was a hoarder which was so gross!
There was rat poop everywhere all over the carpets it was nasty hopefully I
don't have any diseases now, But after she gave me a hug which was really
awkward cause people aren't supposed hug us missionaries. But
yeah. Sorry I am hurrying through this cause we don't have a p-day
today cause we are going to the Oakland temple on Saturday and I guess that
counts as our p-day. But yeah this week was super cool a lot of good
experiences.
We walked dogs on Saturday which was really fun and got
tackled by a ton of puppies. We got this workout app and its the best. I
am making some gains! ;) We taught a lot of less active members this week
it was sweet we taught one his name is Gerardo and he took us up
to where he does his workouts and we shot a bow with him
super cool. Just let me know if you have any more questions! I get to
Skype home May 8th!! So I am pretty excited. I love you guys!
Love,
