Dear Home,
This week was another good
one. I can't really tell if it's going fast
or slow anymore, but either
way, it's going!
We started off by going on
exchanges again. I went with Elder Bishop
again, but this time in his
area, El Sereno. Not too much different
than the first exchange I
had with him. Still thinks Americans are
dumb. Oh well! He's going to
have to live with it whether he likes it or
not haha. But overall, it
was good. He is a pretty good missionary.
Later in the week, we had a
lesson with Rudy and his girlfriend Fatima
with the help of Antonio and
Angie. We had a plan to briefly
teach the restoration, and
we only had like 15-20 minutes. Angie
invited her dad, which
didn't really turn out too well... Anytime we'd
try to ask Rudy or Fatima
anything, he'd butt in and go on a tangent
about what he thought and
all this random stuff. It was getting a bit
out of hand, to say the
least. Even though the lesson didn't turn out
how we wanted it, it was
cool because Rudy was standing up for the
church to his dad. We had to
leave but Rudy and Antonio gave us a ride
home. Turns out that the dad
is kind of out there when it comes to
religion because he'll read
one thing from one religion and then
another from a different one
and he just ends up mixing it all
together into confusion. The
cool thing too, is that Rudy and his
girlfriend have plans to get
married in the upcoming month or so, so
that was cool to hear. And
on top of that, they both came to church!
It seems like Fatima's heart
is slowly but surely being opened to the
gospel.
I keep forgetting to take a
picture with Jose Romero to send to you,
but he is doing really
awesome. He is set on going on a mission! It's
crazy to think just about
4-5 weeks ago he was homeless and aimless
and now he has been going to
church without fail and wants to go on a
mission. He has been leaving
smoking behind (a problem he's had for a
while) and our branch
president talked with him and helped him start
with a plan so that he can
get progressing towards his mission. So far
so good! He's been helping
us with lessons and rides and such, as
well.
Mateo is also doing pretty
well. He has a date for the beginning of
March so that he can have
time to completely overcome alcohol. But
he's doing awesome. We have
been able to find some cool p, new people
as well. Even though our
teaching pool isn't huge, it has been getting
better thanks to the lords
help in putting miracles along our path.
Love you!
