Dear Everyone,
Happy Easter first off! We didn't have anything too out of the ordinary happen. We did eat dinner with the English elders with a white older couple who's workers were investigators at one point. We had lasagna for the first time in forever! Kind of weird haha. But it was cool, the guy is a prospector so he was talking about gold and prospecting the whole time. Oh how I love being in Spanish work.
We had a ton of people go to church yesterday too! One family in particular that a lot of missionaries have struggled to get to progress in the past came! It was awesome. They are the Alvarez family. The dad is an inactive member, but his mom is really active and his younger sister was the one who we baptized last. They are an awesome family of four, one 14 year old boy and a 9 year old girl. So it was awesome to see them come. But they have another brother that we started visiting that is inactive, but he is a bit more stubborn. It's crazy because this family all lives on the same street. But the two brothers haven't seen each other in years! Hno. Alvarez (the one that came to church) said it's because they just don't get along and they get into big fights. Pretty crazy, they won't even talk to each other. Hopefully that will change one day.
This upcoming weekend, we are going to have a baptism! Jose M. will be getting baptized this week. He is doing awesome, just working on giving up coffee, which he is doing better and better at. He has to move out this week so we have been trying to find him a room or some sort of studio/apartment thing. We've spent a lot of time just talking to people and asking around and calling. But trying to find housing in Los Angeles is ridiculous. So we are still working on that.
Something cool that happened yesterday as well was that Pasadena (there is Spanish branch there which is in our zone) had 3 baptisms! And we invited Vilma to them and she took us, and Jose M. to go see them. It was awesome! Vilma has been doing awesome! She told us she wants to get baptized, but wants to wait a bit now to resolve some money situations so she doesn't fail on paying tithing. Which I am fine with haha,
This week, we also had exchanges with the Arroyo district leader: Elder Giles. Elder Giles is a bit older in the mission and is from Nebraska. He's a super cool guy. He has an awesome attitude which was good to be around and learn from. And we had some funny things happen hahah...
Well that is our week in a nutshell. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Love you all!
