Hola familiares y amigos!
Thanks
for sending pictures mom. Awesome that Mark and his dad were able to
stop by. And that fence...looks amazing. Hope it keeps the deer out for
good.
So,
my new companion is Elder Salazar. He is from El Salvador. He has 3
months in the mission, just finishing his training. He is really
positive which is good. He is one of 7 brothers and sisters. He plays
basketball, or at least he’s willing to play. He loves to eat, as do I.
Somehow we both got sick last Saturday but we’re fine now. We are
working hard trying to find those people who are prepared to hear us. I
know they are out there. Elder Salazar has adjusted to the área really
well. He says it´s a lot different from his other area. He was in an Aldea (really small town).

So
about our investigator Andres, to be honest, he has disappeared on us.
He left to the capital and hasn´t been heard of since. Not even his
family knows where he is.
That’s
o.k. We were able to find 4 other really positive investigators. Two
are sisters (Shanon and Jennifer) going to college here in Xela. And the
other two are a mom (Gabriela) who has 3 children, and Juan, one of her
children who is eligible for baptism. It´s great to see their
progression! They teach me.
We’ve been taking this teenager to church for the past 3 weeks. On Sunday
he said he wants to be baptized, and he wants to be baptized this
Thursday. What was a miracle! I love miracles. We´ll do all we can to
make that happen.
This
week was a special church celebration called “Family Week.” Cool, huh.
Every night there was an activity in the church. For example, Tuesday
was a role play family home evening as well as cooking. Thursday was
game night. Everyone formed a group with their family and went around to
the various stations, collecting large pieces of paper forming a
puzzle. At the end they all put it together and it wrote title of
liberty. SUPER fun. Saturday finished with a cultural night. Both the
Americas and Garibaldi wards did some skits, singing and dancing. As
missionaries we got to do a skit as well. It was great. Any way to
strengthen families is good. I know strong families are important.
