Dear people at home,
That's great to
hear that Joe got his mission call to go to Rome! Congrats to him. Also glad to
hear that Tanner is turning in his papers and all that good jazz. It's weird to
think that our whole priest quorum is splitting up to all these places and in a
few years we're all gonna be back together. But for now, off to missionary work!
The weather here is cooling off a bit too, according to all the hispanics here,
it is freezing. But it's perfect weather haha. My companion is doing great, we
are being a lot more productive than I had been a few weeks ago. I am also
coming home a lot more tired than I had been before, but that's the way I like
it haha.
Yesterday was a pretty cool day. We had a young family that we're
teaching come and also Lydia, one of our members' best friends who she lives
with. Elder Ramos and Elder Mancia spoke in church and both gave great Spirit
filled talks. That night, we had a great lesson with Lydia and Maria about the
plan of Salvation and we gave her a baptismal date for the 8th of December which
we are very excited for! Her response to our invitation was: "who would
deny these feelings?" Which was just the response we wanted to hear!
Rosa,
well she is doing really poorly. As I said before she had to get her other leg
amputated, and this Saturday she had a heart attack. Everytime we talk to Oscar
over the phone he just sounds completely defeated. Which is very rough to
witness. I feel like there is something I should be doing and have to be doing
to fix it all but I just can't. So it's been a bit rough with them
recently.
This month, we are working hard to
prepare people for baptism for December. December will be a big month for our
mission! And my companion and I will just be a small part of it. I feel like I
have been progressing a lot as a person. I keep getting comments that I
look/act older than 18. There was actually a persian guy we were talking to who
thought I was persian too! And everytime I look in the mirror and see that I
have a missionary name-tag on I still can't believe it, but it's cool. Makes me
wonder how I'll be a year from now.
Dinners and stuff recently have
been a bit spotty cuz none of the hermanas really get how our list work, but
when we do have dinners, they are fantastic haha. Laundry we either do it down
the street or in our apartment complex. You don't have to send me the backpack
by the way, just the razor, I got a backpack so it's all good! My companion and
I have been assigned to work with the young men in the ward as well. So if you
have done anything cool or fun that you think would be good to do, please share
haha. But other than that things have been going well. Sorry this letter is a
little short. Love you all!
