What a week! Not anything too insane, but it was a really
awesome experience to be a missionary for YET ANOTHER WEEK!! The mission
is moving by way too fast, I feel like yesterday I was here writing. I
am too blessed!
This Sunday
we had 7 investigators in Church, one of them being a family of 5. (Or
actually, the dad is less active but he was working. he got baptized a
LONG TIME AGO so he wasnt able to come. but his wife and 4 kids came to
Sacrament Meeting) and a guy named Anthony and another guy named
Alfredo. It was a really cool thing to see how much the Lord blesses us,
and I really just hope that we recieve the strength and the ability to
help these people as much as we can. Also, last week in Ward Council, we
went and it was a super long talk about the mission work. We explained
about how we need more help from the members (even though it may have
been the nicest, it went really well.) but we have seen real fruits come
about from that meeting. We have really high goals this month, and we
are hoping to get them done AS A WARD!!
Our ward mission leader is named Edwin Arthur, a
super awesome, humble man that is really trusting a lot in the Lord. He
is super excited about the work, he is just going through a lot of
trials. He got fired from his job a good while ago, and after getting
fired he has decided to not accept any job that requires that he works
on Sundays. Now he is really struggling and working hard to just get the
food on the table every night for his family. But I try to talk to him
and assure him that he is doing what he needs to do and as far as he
trusts in God and also goes out and searches for work, he will find one
and he will be able to provide for his family. He is a man of great
faith, and we are really thankful for all of his help. Actually, he is
going to go out with us in an hour or so!!
These people are such good people, and I really want
to help them a lot. They have a lot of trials, but miracles are real
and they come in the Lord´s time. I am super thankful for the
opportunity to help them. THE WORK IS REAL!!
Love you all, have fun finishing high school and
take advantage of the time you have because soon THE MAN OF THE HOUSE IS
GETTING HOME!! HAHA

1. We helped with these dentists from utah, and it was
pretty fun translating. But now I dont know if I want to be a dentist.
It is fine when the work on my mouth but to see them work on other
peoples mouths is kind of hard to see and seems pretty sketchy. But they
were funny, they asked stuff like ¨whats the weirdest thing you have
eaten???¨ and ¨how many times have you gotten held up?¨ then I had to
explain that I hadnt eaten anything all that weird... just a BUNCH of
rice. and then I told them I had just gotten held up like 8 times or
something so they weren't disappointed HAHA. no I haven't been held
up. They fear me here.
