Hello family. I am glad to hear from all of you and to hear that all is well at home. This has been a crazy week for me. First off it was the 18th of september which is like the 4th of july in the states. So this whole weekend there were crazy people having parties and drinking and doing whatever else. So it was really hard cause everyone was with their families and hanging out and drinking so it was hard to get into houses but this week we have tons and tons of new people to teach so i am excited about that.
So the 17th we had a ward party and it was awesome. We had a dinner and the ward members danced. Also it was so cool cause our investagator, bernarda, was able to come to it and she had tons of fun. She loved the activity and her daughters actually danced in a little dance that the primary put together. It was so cool. Also for our gospel principles class, the teacher put together a little lunch and invited bernarda. So we had that the 20th and it was really good. Bernarda loved it and is having tons of fun with the members. When the members help, the work is so much easier.
But lastly but definately not least, bernarda was finally able to assist the church this Sunday. It was a miracle but a sad miracle. The 21st, bernarda was at her house and her boy friend came over to see her. He was all drunk and got mad at her and hit her really hard. The cops came and she had to fill out all this paperwork. Finally, she told us that she is done with this idiot guy. So that means that she isnt going to be gone on the weekends. So this was a huge miracle. We have been praying really hard that she would be able to assist and finally she did. A lot of times the lord answeres our prayers in very different ways than we think. But this has really strengthened bernarda. She said that now more than every, she needs the Lord and she is going to keep learning. She is awesome and will be baptized soon so we are really excited about that.
This week has been extremely hot. The weather here is crazy cause it doesnt change seasons, it just goes from cold to hot. The trees dont change color or anything. It is such a abrupt change. But i knew that it was spring when i woke up at 230 friday morning with a runny nose and sneezing like no other. My alergies have hit with a vengance, i have never had them this bad before. Luckily i had some clariton in my suitcase but i am running low on my supply. So mom, if you could send some, asap that would be awesome. Ya, well i tried making my famous orange julius on Saturday but they dont have orange concetrated cans down here so i took orange fanta and froze it and made it with that... it didnt work out that great but i will keep on trying and see if i cant perfect it. Also this past week i had the privalege to try queso de cabeza. Or for thoes of you who dont speak spanish, “Head cheeze.” But its not cheeze, it is head... they take the pigs head and take everything, the nose, eyes, lips, ears...and put it through a machine and make strips of meat with it. But if it had not been for the fact that i knew what i was eating, it would have tasted pretty good. I have to say it wasnt that bad but i am never trying it again.
So before i forget, i just wanted to say happy b-day to sister cummings. I believe it was her b-day on the 13th or something like that. I know its late but i just wanted to let her know that her ex home teacher was thinking about her. I hope everything is going well with the cummings family and my bud chris.
Well to finish i wanted to tell you one last miracle that happened this week. Well about a month and a half ago we got a reference from this guy in a different ward. He has a friend from work that has been interested in the church and she wants to investagate the church seriously. So we got the reference and tried calling like 10 times and did all we could to get in contact with her. But after a while we couldnt get a hold of her or the guy that send us the reference so we got discouraged and gave up. Then yesterday, we were walking back from lunch and i had the feeling to go down a street that we usually dont go down. So we were walking down this street and this guy starts to aproach us. I am usually a little nervous when people aproach us cause they usually want money, are insane, or want to rub my head. So i was goin to avoid this guy but i had this thought come to my mind that said that i needed to be nice to this guy. So i started talking to him and he told me that he was the guy that gave us the reference and that this woman is really excited to learn more. He showed us where she lives and we have an appointement to teach her today. I am really excited and i hope all goes well. Thats my miracle. It may not be something huge but there are small little miracles that happen every day. We just need to listen to the spirit and do what it says. If we do then we will be put into the right places and talk to the right people.
Well i love ya tons fam and i am glad for all you do. Make sure that you are still doing what is right and following the council that we recieve. I am really excited for general conference and i hope you all are too. WE HAVE A LIVING PROPHET TODAY AND GOD SPEAKS THROUGH HIM. LISTEN TO HIM!!! TAKE HIS ADVICE INTO YOUR DAILY LIVES!!! LOVE CONFERENCE!!! Haha i love you guys and think about ya ton. God be with you till we meet again. And as always, GO COUGS!!!
Love ya
