Buena’s Dias Madera!
Another week passed in the best mission in
the world, haha. I can’t wait, in1 month I can talk to you! I’m so excited to see
everyone. You have no Idea. Well maybe you do. Anyway, I’m so happy to hear
Tyler is doing better and that he is going to make a full recovery.
I’m going to start again by talking about my
investigators. The first family I want to talk about is a family named Gamboa.
They are the family with 5 kids. Anyway we baptized the parents this week. It
was super sweet and the family was so happy and so excited. And being the white
guy that I am for their wedding I bought them a huge cake, which was only 20 dollars,
but for here that was a really big thing and it was really awesome. I loved
seeing their faces after they were baptized.
The other investigator we have right now is
a woman named Melba. She is a real nice lady and has been an investigator for a
year. She knows everything about the lessons and already has a testimony. The
only thing about her is she is living with a member man who doesn’t want to get
married because it’s a tradition in the family not to get married. How stupid
is that? Right. Anyway, we’re going to work with them this week really hard to
get them married.
Also this week was a week of divisions for
me. I worked one day with the district leader. And don’t worry I wasn’t in
trouble he just has to work with us every 4th week in a change. But it was
great. After that day the next day I worked with a member who is a returned
missionary who met his wife I the field. (Who does that sound like?) He is a
great member and has said over and over again that once you’re a missionary,
you’re always a missionary.
This week was also a great week for the
language. I can just about understand everything being said which is awesome.
Also for me it’s easy to talk in present tense and future tense but past tense
is a different story. But reading the book of Mormon out loud has really helped
me a lot.
Ok I’m going to go into more depth about my
companion. He is the baby of his family and all of his brothers and sisters
have severed missions. His family is a family of 6 and a one time they had 3
kids out on missions at the same time. My companion is very well known in the
mission but it’s for unfortunate things. This is his second mission. His first
mission was in El Salvador. He has moved missions because he had big problems
with leaders in his last mission. The sad thing is he didn’t learn a lot from
it because the leaders here don’t like him either. I feel the reason President
put me with him is because President needs me to help him but also make the
relationship with the people in the ward better in this area. I think I’m doing
a good job because the ward mission leader says he and others in the ward feel
that I want to strengthen the ward. So I guess this is good for me.
I love my mission and I am learning more and
more everyday I hope everyone is doing better. Tyler, I know you’re going to
get better. You’re all in my prayers. I think of you everyday. LOVE YOU GUYS
