Well hello again. I got your email and it was just great
hearing from
you like always. Oh thanks for the addresses too that helped :) and
yes I got Robs letter so I have his address too so we are all good
with that. It is crazy we really are so close and we will be even
closer on Wednesday. I kind of need to hurry today because we are
splitting our p day hours up this week because on wednesday we get to
go to Manhattan and go to the Temple!!! I am soo excited for that it
is going to be great. I guess the mission goes to the temple every
december and July so I will get to go over four times during my
mission which is pretty sweet. So who knows maybe rob will just happen
to be in the temple when I am. That would be the biggest tender mercy!
Oh and dont worry about buying me a new blanket at all and if it is
too exspensive to send my blanket over that is fine too it would just
be more comfortable but not a big deal, and as for the sweatshirt
really you can send any I just need one because sometimes it is cold
in our apartment and I use my other one to work out in so ya it gets
kind of gross. Maybe my orange lax one would be good.
So ya I am doing really good here. the area is great. I am getting to
know the members a lot better and this week we received a lot of
referalls from them. Little hint if the missionaries ask for a
referral give them one because it helps the work so much, it is easily
the most effective way to teach someone, rather than finding them
ourselves.. we need the members!!
the spanish is coming along too, I am doing a lot better with it than
I was in the beginning. It is kind of funny because people here speak
a lot of spanglish so ya we teach some in English and some in spanish.
Basically we teach them in whatever language they can speak more
comfortbly most the time the Older people only speak spanish but all
the youth speak english and spanish so if we teach younger kids it is
usually english and older people is always in spanish. but ya it is
coming along and I love it.
I could use a roast beef dinner right now. but actually the dinners
are quite unpredictable, they dont really tell us if they are making
us food or not so some nights we have no dinners and other nights we
have like two in a row and it is killer, but the food they make is soo
good. straight up real Mexcian food always so good.
So ya we are getting to know the area and the people better so the
work is improving. we found five new investigators this last week
which was pretty sweet. The one investigator I told you about last
week is actaully really flakey now he keeps setting up apointments for
the next day and then jukes us so ya kind of frustrating because this
gospel will really help him. but we are doing our best :) Yesterday we
taught a really cool lesson about the book of mormon to a new
investigator and he loved it. The thing about hispanic people is they
are all really humble and pretty much all beleive in Jesus Christ so
if you just say we have a message about Jesus Christ they almost
always want to listen the struggle really comes in helping them
understand that this is his only true church and not just a good
message about him. But ya its good stuff. Whenever I tell people im
from utah they say "o de la factoria?" which means I am from the
factory of mormon missionaries which is utah haha :)
Anyways MERRY CHRISTMAS again. That is my favorite part too!! the
music is the best and we even are allowed to listen to christmas music
as missionaries so I am getting in my fair share.. Oh and another
Elder said to me your famous line that you always say to me mom. " you
would forget your head if it wasnt attatched to you" .. you ya i still
forget things but I am getting better haha. Just trying to love it
all. I made a christmas tree in our apartment it is pretty sweet
hopefully I can send you some pictures soon. After I go to New York so
you can see those pics.. but ya it is all good.
Oh I almost forgot we sang for a christmas fireside last night and it
was way cool. The coolest thing was that I thought of it as another
way to testify of christ and it felt sooooo good as I did. There
really is nothing that makes you happier than sharing your testimony I
think that is why missionaries are so happy because you pretty much
have the opportunity to share your testimony 24 7 its great! and a
little scary sometimes but totally worth it. Do it as much as you can
in simple ways. simple is best anyways :)
SO for reals good bye until next week and then i will get to talk to
you the next week..... crazy!! haha
LOVE YOU
Hurrah for Israel ;)
