Dear Mom, Dad, Lauren, and Ian,
This week has been a little weird. For some reason, a
good chunk of our citas fell through. Luckily, one day of this week we were
able to visit everyone we planned for, which saved us from a low lesson number
this week, haha! But it was tough! Not all in vain though. Our back up plans
helped us to find people that are pretty excited to learn more. Hopefully, they
can progress well! One of them comes to church on his own, so we have a good
feeling about that guy. But anyways, we're continuing in trying to get this
area to progress. It is certainly much more than what we started with!
Hermana Santos, a rather sick sister in my district had
to spend the whole week in the hospital for treatments on her lungs. They worked
and she's able to work again but she can't push herself very hard. We're going
to keep a good eye on her. ^_^ Also, we have two new sisters that are going to
whitewash one of the areas in my District, Hermanas Peacock and Bocanegra. It
will be their first time whitewashing, so it will be quite the adventure for
them!
As for us, we're still looking diligently for more people
to teach, and we are finding! They have yet to progress, but we will continue
doing what we should. One of them is a family, a dad, mom, and their son. How
we contacted them was funny! We were walking along and started talking to this
woman we contacted the day before. When we were trying to put in another day
with her, her husband, who's a pretty scary looking guy (but the nicest guy
ever), walks out of his house and asks us who we are. We explained that we were
missionaries that contacted his wife and wanted to make an appointment with the
both of them to share the gospel. He said to come back on Saturday and we wrote
it down and asked his name. In a deep voice, he said in English, "They
Call Me King." And we were like "Yes sir! See you later!" And we
went off. I was trying hard not to laugh in front of him not because his name didn't
fit him, because it did. I just didn't expect that at all! But when we came
back for the appointment, he turned out to be the nicest guy ever and is super
interested in the gospel. He said he wants to become closer with God and would
like to do that with his family. We have bright hopes for this guy!
Hopefully, we'll have more progress on these new
investigators and help our old ones to church as well. It's hard, but it's
worth it!
Times almost up, so I'll just write you all next week,
ok? And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW, MOMMY! Miss you and love you guys so much! Have
a good Thanksgiving!
