¡Háce Frio!

Hey everybody,

 

It has been getting a little colder here in the great nation of Canada. Today when we went outside it was -7 celsius. So not horrible, but it is getting progressively worse. The people "Los Amigos" that we are teaching up on the farm said that the work is getting a lot harder because it is super cold. Unfortunatly they are going to be leaving at the end of November, but they are getting more and more excited to learn. Every Sunday when we are driving up there we get really excited to talk about the gospel with them. They ALL read Alma 40-42 becasue we were going to talk about the Plan of Salvation with them. It was a lot better and they asked a lot more questions because they had read. I have noticed that a lot lately. When we learn and teach from the Book of Mormon the Spirit is that much stronger and people seem to be a lot more interested. We are just preparing them all to go back to Mexico and start going to church with their families down there. It was Jose Luiz's birthday last night and they shared his cake with us. We sang happy birthday in spanish and also "las mananitas" Super memorable expereince with some true friends.

 

We got our other companion on Wenesday. His name is Elder Schubert and he is from Trenton, Ontario. I am finally companions with a native!! haha native canadian that is. He is really awesome and we are all getting along very well in our tripanionship. It is a little overwhelming to be training two people at the same time, but it is easy because they are both humble and are extremely ready to work. We has a really cool experience tracting the other day. It was the first time for Elder Schubert. We saw a really inticing red door and we said that should be our first door. He told us later that he was praying really hard so that his first experince would be good and that someone would be interested. A nice old lady opens that door and the first thing that come out of her mouth is "Hey do you guys have a Book of Mormon?" I was standing back a little bit to let them talk to her, and it was awesome to see the faces of these two young missionaries in awe as they handed this women a book that can change lives. We are excited to go back and it was a testimony to me that faith and prayer, when worked together can bring revelation more than anything.

 

We are excited too because the Calgary Temple Dedication is next Sunday. Info to follow!!

 

 

Mucho Amor,
