Hola mis amados hermanos y hermanas,
¿Cómo le va? ¿Qué tal? ¡Qué chevre! ¡Qué PADRE! ¡Qué ando!! ¿Cómo estas? The funny thing about learning Spanish in Canada is that you learn words and phrases from every country, Guatemala, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Columbia, Chile, and let us not forget Argentina!!! It is a quite a different experience.
It is still snowing in April!! It is hard to believe but all the native Canadians are saying "Oh, this is normal eh". I want some sunshine!! Ok...there is sunshine but it needs to melt the snow! Oh and one thing to put on your list of foods to try is Donairs. Its like a gloryfied gyro, but so much better.
This week was another good week. We were able to meet with most of our investigators and they are all seeming to be doing good. They are all having trouble making it to church, but we have faith that they will all keep progressing. We met with Alexandra and brought a solid member named Brother Palmer (who served a three year mission, he is super good at learning languages). We talked a lot about excercising our faith and how she can gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon if she excercises her faith. Bro. Palmer met her about 2 years ago, and he said that her environment to discover the truth is so much better now. The main reason is that her boyfriend is a less-active member and now he is supporting her and wanting her to get baptized as he is coming back to church. They are both sincere and we can really see that she is gaining a interest in the BOM. Anselmo's birthday was this week and he had surgery so we could not meet with him. But we stopped by on his cumpleaños and gave him a license plate holder that said "Nicaragua" and also a giant bottle of salsa picante. He loved it and wants to meet on Friday.
We went on exchanges with my favorite little asian district leader "Emperor Wan". He is from Hong Kong and is an amazing district leader. He makes me laugh because when we turn music on in the car, he always sings super loud and thinks he has an amazing voice. He always says, "I am going to be in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir." You guys really need to meet him, he is the greatest.
We met with Ruben and Cindy 2 times this week and his situation is still difficult. They are both reading, and the more they read, the more questions they have. The first time we went over there it was our goal to really open them up and try to get them to go to church, even for 15 minutes because of Ruben's condition. We are growing their trust and I feel like they are both progressing. We also went over there on Saturday night with a member from Castledowns and gave him a blessing. We explained why it was so important to realize the significance of it and he said that he had enough faith to go through with it. The spirit was very strong and he felt super calm. They are reading what we are giving them and they even asked to see the bishop next week. So at least Cindy is going to be there next week to meet with Bishop Durado before church. Ruben is coming along and has a lot of questions, which is good. Because the Spirit has the answers.
Gracias Amigos!!!
