What´s up everybody!
So this week was much better
for us! Started out last Tuesday when we had some of our most powerful members
from the branch leave with us for the afternoon and they took us to some of
their family and some less actives. It was awesome to see how excited they were
to go out and work with us and teach. They are amazing teachers, I was pretty
impressed with them. So that was good to get some new investigators with
them, we ended up with twelve new ones this week which is really good for us
especially in this area! Also I have some good news about baptisms that are
coming up. The familia we were teaching got whittled down to just the
oldest daughter, but she should get baptized this next Saturday. She is
super powerful too, she started going to seminary in the church, and they
changed the schedule so she could continue to come every day. We are excited
for her and then there is also Rene, and he can posibly get baptized this next
Saturday as well! We have a multi zone meeting with President tomorrow so we
are gonna bring him so President can interview him and hopefully pass him. So
we could break my companions 14 month cold streak on the baptisms. Also we have a
couple others that are super powerful that have a date for the first weekend in
March. Their names are Vanesa and David. Vanesa is the wife, we hope, of a less
active member who is 28, and she is pregnant right now (18 years old). Then
David is a friend of both of them. I love going to teach them because they
actually do what we ask them to do! We give them a chapter to read and they
read it and then have questions but then they answer their own questions, it´s
awesome!!!!
So we are starting our last
week in this change. This change was only five weeks because of the age change
we are getting a ton of new missionaries, about 40 when normally it´s like 15
to 20 max. But my comp is starting to pick it up again, just took forever it
kinda feels like and it makes me feel super baggy and feel like I´ll never
finish my mission haha. But it is getting better. I don´t think we will be together
for another change but we both might stay in the area and it will get split, so
we´re still waiting for that news. Um what else happened this week..I finished
3 Nephi in the Book of Mormon in Spanish so only a little bit more and I´ll
have ´er done! I really haven´t studied language at all, just reading the BOM
so my comp is pretty suprised about that, but I definitely need to study more
just to be able to talk more smoothly without thinking so much about sentence
structure and all that haha. I love studying the scriptures though,
really studying. It´s awesome to feel the spirit when you read but when you
actually study the scriptures and search for answers or things to help you out,
the spirit is so much more powerful and I actually feel enlightened and
inspired it´s awesome!! So I challenge you not to only read your scriptures but
study with a purpose, with a question, with something in mind you want to
understand better, and you will be so much more edified by your studying.
So pretty much besides that,
not much else to report on. I have started stretching though! I figure there is
no way I can really work out on my mish and see improvement or anything but
there is a posibility I could touch my toes! So we´ll see how that goes. Oh i
thought about another thing for a package, FIG NEWTONS i dono why but I have a
huge craving for those right now haha. Other than that though...I dono. But hey if you could tell Bro Cornelison and Bro
Neuerberg thank you for me for everything they did for me when I was there that
would be awesome. I´ve been thinking about that a lot lately, I never let them
know how much I appreciated them and everything they did. That´s too bad about Taylor
