Hola familia,
This week was great.
Monday we were playing soccer with a huge exercise ball and I kicked it and
accidentally hit my companion in the face. She was wearing her sunglasses so
there was a bruise across her forehead where her sunglasses were. It's almost
gone now though. I felt so bad!!! Then I accidentally hit two elders in the
face too. Oops. Then one of the Elders hit me in the face, and it was just really funny. Besides my companion, no one got hurt
cause the ball was really soft. I'm just glad that presidents interviews are
next week instead of last week. He would have wondered what I was doing to my
companion.
My companion is doing great! I am hoping we will be together again
next transfer in this area. We will see what happens though. It is her birthday
on Thursday!
Our investigators are doing great. The guy who had a problem with
the Word of Wisdom is doing so well. We had another appointment with him this
week and he went from drinking two cups of coffee a day to just one. He says he
feels a lot better too. He also talked to his wife in Mexico and she is going
to stop drinking coffee too. We are trying to see if we can send missionaries
to his wife so that they can be learning at the same time.
He loves reading in
the Book of Mormon and read all the way through Alma the first time, but then
wanted to start over so that he could understand it better. He is already
almost through 2 Nefi. He is so great! He asked us if it is okay that he is
reading the Book of Mormon with his friends and telling them about what we
teach. Of course it's okay!! Haha! He such a good missionary and has a very
strong testimony. He is the one that can't come to church until he finds
another job.
We didn't have anyone come to church this week which was really
sad because we had a group of people say that they were going to. Hopefully
next week. Mom, to answer your question, there are two companionship's of
elders in our ward and then my companion and I. It is our whole district. They
are all so awesome!
Today we are having a BBQ for the zone activity.
Something a little less dangerous. :) And for your question about the Spanish,
I can understand almost everything when we are teaching the lessons or when we
are talking about church topics, but when people start talking about other
things it is hard for me to understand. I can speak but I have to say
everything very simply and it is still hard because I don't always feel like I
can say everything I want to. I am so grateful to be learning another language
though even when it's hard. I definitely
wouldn't know what I do without the help of my Heavenly Father.
I don't
have much time left. Thanks to everyone for the letters it means a lot as a
missionary. I love being out here. I love the people. I love my companion. I
LOVE being a missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Please give the Vegas family
hugs for me. :) Dad I wrote you a letter in Spanish. It's on its way to you! :)
Anyways love you fam
muchisimo!
