INVESTIGATORS, SOCCER AND SWARMA
November 30, 2016
Dear Family,
My health was back to normal the day after I wrote you all. I ended up feeling crappy the entire day, but Thanksgiving I felt fine and even ate some pie!!! The mission gave every district a pie and we ate pie as a zone in the stake center. It was apple pie and pretty dang tasty!
I was kinda touched to hear that you guys did a toast to me at Thanksgiving :) That made me warm inside!
Also, I had no idea you guys get the Mensajero! (mission president's weekly letter to the missionaries). That's kinda funny! They're pretty neat, aren't they? Do you get the entire thing with the page of people that have been reactivated and/or baptized and the names of the missionaries involved? If you do you'd best look closely for next week's!!! We bout ta get 4 (hopefully four) reactivations up in here!!!!
Mom, I would KILL for an investigator like you were!!! The fact that you got baptized so fast is a real testament to how in tune you are with the Spirit and how you accept truth so well!
Things have been spicing up a bit lately! Remember Coni? We hadn't visited her for about 2 weeks and were gonna visit her. We were thinking about just dropping her, but we asked her a bunch of questions and she seemed different! Still difficult but she had a different attitude with our lesson! Now we just have to see if she does her homework! If she does she'll be once again on track for baptism!
Also, Eric, our Hatian buddy, came to church last Sunday! It was way cool. Even though we got there late and for only the last half of the sacrament itself, it was still cool and he was glued to the talks! He said afterward he really liked how peaceful it was! We're trying to see if we can get him on a date for January, maybe the 1st. The thing is, we only visit him once a week, if that.
We also have this girl that's been coming to young women group lessons E´Sims and I have been doing. She's come to church twice already on HER OWN and she isn't a member! E´Sims and I didn't realize the other missionaries hadn't even started teaching her but we've ended up teaching her 5 group lessons and 1 1-on-1 lesson with her! Her name is Judith and at this point, even though she doesn't live in our sector, we might teach her because we have known her a long time and the other missionaries don't really know her. Anyway, those are the most exciting investigators (for now!)
Today we went to a big soccer field and played full field soccer. It was really fun and it made it more even for the gringos because the latinos have more skill, but we gringos are, on average, just more athletic, so it was a blast! We also tried out some Swarma. It was Super delicious! We have a photo of that too. That's mostly all this week! Next week you'll see my new companion (12 weeks in the field already!!!) And I'm completing 4 months in the mission this Friday!
Thanks for the support.
Love you all!
