¡HOLAAAAAA!

Querido hermanos y hermanas,

 

WHHHAAATTTSSUUUPPP!

 

At district meeting this week we had a member cook all of us a "greenie" meal. Even though 3 of us are now 6 months out it was funny and literally everything was green. It tasted better than it looked and I realized that food can still be enjoyed when it is different colors. I was on exchanges again this week with Elder Skousen and we went and helped out at the Edmonton food bank. It was really fun and the people there are really nice. Other missionaries regularly give service there and so hopefully we can find someone to teach. But something funny happened. I was sorting through the bins of food and pulled out a giant bag of old shoes. I was like that is not food. But this organization is helping a lot of institutions throughout the city.

 

We are about to start a new English class at a more central loaction. We are really trying to get the stakes on board to help us advertise this class. We are meeting with one of the stake leaders this week and talking about the help we need. But we were able to meet with some of our investigators this week. Eric Aguialan and his family are doing well. We got in with them but really didn't get to teacht them anything. We are going to meet with them on Tuesday and hopefully get them to church. We finally got in contact with Salvador again! He has been working like a dog and he told us he is interested in coming to church and having us over again. We cannot get ahold of Ruben and Cindy, but hopefully we can meet with them this week. This week at the Mesen's we shared a message about gratitude. As I started to bear my testimony, i broke down...hard. I just realized how ungrateful I am for everything the Lord has blessed me with. They probably didn't understand much with my balling and severely broken spanish. But I am so grateful for all the families I have met and the little miracles that I see everyday. The Lords hand is really in this work. We make so many mistakes. Without his help nothing would happen. I have faith that little by little, and day by day I will learn this language in a place where about only 5 percent speak it. Challenges are put in our path to help us realize the help we receive. Heavanly Father's plan is so much more then we realize.

 

Last night we had a Spanish devotional and testimony night. Unfortunately, the Superbowl was on and there was only about 30 people there. But the Spirit was definitely there and the people that shared their testimonies really strengthened mine. One in particular was an investigator from the south side that had came with some members that he works with. He got up there and he seemed very comfortable. But he talked about how there was another reason why he was here other than work and he is exited to learn more about the church. President was there and he was able to get up and talk (with a translater of course). But he came up to us after the meeting and gave us some suggestions on how we can help the people in our areas. But he also told us that he feels like Elder EZ and I should stay together another transfer and we would not be getting a call this morning. It is funny after this transfer is over we will technically be under common law. ha ha Technically I can take half of his stuff at the end of this tranfer. But there is something that we need to accomplish in this area together and I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for all of us.

  

Mucho mucho amor,
