Hola
mi familia!
This
week has been stock full! I'm absolutely loving it here.
So
I'm surrounded by a bunch of spiritual giants. One has this transfer left and
then the other 2 go home in June. And one of them is actually a giant, he's
6'7". And it turns out that the other two elders here are the zl's, so I
don't have to worry about having a bunch of exchanges. Which I'm excited about
because elder bradshaw is super awesome.
The
first day we had a trio because one of the other elders was still technically
ap and was helping with incoming and outgoing missionaries. So after the three
of us dropped off our stuff we went out to tract and eventually we found a
bunch of Hispanic kids getting ready to play some fútbol. So we decided to play
with them and see how it went. Afterwards we got basically all their addresses
and they told us to come by whenever. Lot of fun and pretty cool experience.
(I'm not good at soccer but I started picking it up)
Then
that night we went to the hospital to give a blessing to a less active member
that got in a really bad car accident. That was a very spiritual experience,
and after we finished the blessing he was out like a rock.
Wednesday
we had district meeting which was a blast because my district is all Spanish
missionaries, so we can do most of it in Spanish. The rest of that day was
really just tracting, not much excitement there.
Thursday
we went and did service at the animal shelter for awhile, lots of good stuff to
do there. He rest of the day we went around and just visited with less actives
and tried to teach them. We also gave a blessing to a member that was super
sick.
Friday
after weekly planning we went and tracted a street where we found a couple
really good prospects. One of them was an inactive mom that was interested in
having us over to teach her non member husband and 9 year old daughter. So they
could be baptized in the coming months. We also found a guy that was super
humble and really feels like he's dying spiritually and needs something to give
him life again. We've got a return appointment with him tomorrow so hopefully
he will be there.
Friday
night we set up for a wedding for some investigators that are getting baptized
next week. It reminded me a lot of setting up for the other weddings we have
had, especially because I was on the streamer duty, which was basically like
running all the lights that we did at Emilie, Katie, and Megan's weddings.
Then
Saturday we were running around town getting last minute things for the
wedding, then we had the wedding and didn't get done with that until about 5
and had to clean up. So that wiped the whole day almost, but it will all be
worth it because they really feel like this ward is their family now. Then
after that we went and gave 4 blessings to a family that needed some nerve
calming because they had to go to court today to try and get citizenship. Those
were actually the first blessings I have personally given and it was really
cool to see how powerful the priesthood is.
Sunday
was fun because I got to do the translation of the whole thing into English for
the members that don't speak Spanish. That was kind of scary but I think I did
pretty good. I got lost sometimes when people were going off on different
stories, but that's ok, it was mostly just fluff.
After
church we went around on bikes and I got to meet all of our investigators we
currently have. Cool thing is that almost all of them are from Honduras. I
thought that was really cool, and I thought Emilie would too. :)
That's
about it for this week, I'm so happy right now and I can't wait to see what the
lord has in store for us in the coming weeks.
Love
you all!
