Buenas tardes a todos!
Esta semana fue genial!
We had transfers this week so we did the classic train the
new missionaries thing. This group is a super awesome one! Definitely a good
future for the mission. On Tuesday we took out elder Williams from Snowflake
Arizona and sadly everything we had planned fell through. Buuut we visited our
branch mission leader so he would at least be able to talk to a native speaker
jaja.
On Wednesday we were supposed to meet up with the new senior
missionaries that were going to replace us but they didn't show up so we were
kinda frustrated at first. We found out the next day that they aren't actually
going to do be able to serve so the whole thing got called off. Soooo our transfer
is normal now haha we were expecting it to be way weird but now it's not. We
met E. Carr and he is being trained by E. Escandon which is super cool because
I haven't been around a new missionary since I was trained. He is pretty sweet,
from Provo UT and he has acted for Hale Center Theater for a few years. I'm
pretty sure I saw him in newsies right before I left.
Thursday night we contacted some people about getting some
new computers for the mission office and so we went and got 5 computers. It was
super funny cuz we were just tangled in cords and stuff like that and everyone
in the office was commenting on how 'techy' we looked. It was good though, we
spend a good amount of time wiping them and getting them set up for the office
missionaries.
Friday and Saturday we got to work a lot which was cool. We
met two new people to teach named Alfonso and Silvia and they asked a lot of
the textbook ''questions of the soul''. We have another lesson with them tonght
and we are super exited for that.
We also had a lesson with Tom and Grace and they, as usual,
fed us some super good food. During the week Tom sent us some articles that he
had read and they were just straight anti (it was like super low quality anti
tho it was all easy stuff) so we spent a long chunch of our lesson talking
about that. Buuut it was overall pretty good and we committed them to read and
pray every day since they only had been doing it occasionally.
Today we had a cool miracle, a super awesome member, Sister
Garcia from the Park Hills English ward here, paid for our groceries! I was
about to drop like 60 bucks too and so it was a super bendición.
Anyways thats pretty much it!! Los quiero, gracias por sus
oraciones y apoyo. Se que la iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los
Últimos días es el reino de dios en la tierra. Mi testimonio ha sido
fortalecido bastante en la misión. Yo sé que dios nos ama y nos conoce
perfectamente. Agradezco la oportunidad ser Misionero y representar
Jesucristo.
