WOW, what a fantastic week!
Well I have a super great new companion. His name is Elder
Lucas. I pretty much think that he is
the man. He is from Ecuador. He is
super great. I am really happy that he is with me. He is super short, super
humble, and I think that we are going to have a lot of success. Why is he so
humble? He was born on a farm in the middle of nowhere in the middle of Ecuador.
How fetching awesome right? He never
finished high school so he can’t read super great, but he is super intelligent.
He is really quick, and witty, so we have been joking a lot, which makes the
work great. He loves to dance. He was basically a professional dancer which is
cool. He doesn’t know how to use a
computer very well. I have to teach him
how to send pictures easier. He is making me laugh because he uses
one finger to type. He gets out one or
two words every 2 minutes or so. I am going to help him use word.
Well I do have a little bit of news. I have been made the
district leader. I have been bumped up and now have a district that I need to
watch after. I am pretty excited because this will give me a chance to pump up
some of the other missionaries that are in my area. I really like animating the
missionaries to work harder. It makes me really happy to help a missionary
understand his purpose a little bit more so that he goes out and works harder.
I think I learned how to be a great motivator from you, Mom and Dad. You always knew how to motivate me. I am
excited to have this opportunity to work with other missionaries. I hope and
pray that the Lord can guide me in how I can help them.
Yes, I received the package you sent. Yes, I totally love
those new shoes and they fit just perfect. I am really happy with all those candies, and
so is my COMPANION!
Well, we had a really interesting experience this week. We
had 15 investigators come to church. That was a handful. That’s my record
too!!!!!!!!!! I was super happy because we have three people right now that we
are helping to be baptized. We had an entire family of 5 people come to church
today, so I am excited to see if we can help them want to be baptized. They
have to get married first.
Super cool story…..
When we arrived at church there was a lady there that showed
up with her brother that is about 25 years old. We started to talk to him. Come to find out that he is not a member of
the church but wants to start investigating the gospel because every single
person in his family is a member of the church. We set up an appointment with
him so that we could visit him. We went and we talked to him about the church,
what he liked and what he didn’t like, and then we explained all of the first
lesson… He loved it… we talked about baptism…. He loved it… now he has chosen
to be baptized on the 3rd of December. Perfect! I feel like God
just gifted us this guy. His name is Marcos, and he lives in an area in our district
that is super far away. We have to take a bus for about 20 minutes and then we
have to walk for 10 more minutes to get to his house. I will send you pictures
of where he lives when we visit him this week.
Well that really stinks that Haleigh didn’t get the chance
to have the dance (MORP) but better still that they got to watch scary movies.
Reminds of someone else that used to watch a lot of scary movies with someone
named Brooke. HMMMMMM who’s that guy?
Well I am still undecided on the whole future job thing. I
don’t know what to think yet.
I love you all and I hope that you have a great week.
P.S. It’s almost Christmas, dang!!!
