Happy Thanksgiving :)

HI everyone! Are we excited for Thanksgiving? Before the mission it was all about Black Friday!!! But sad I won’t be able to participate this year and next year…But that’s ok because I’ll make up for it when I get back to Arizona!
This week was fun! We had an appointment with Jose and Cynthia and there three kids. It was a good lesson but we kinda stayed there way too long. We stayed there for about an hour and a half. Which is not good, at all. Well, Jose is willing to read and he wants to learn more but Cynthia could careless. From what I’ve seen, it’s all about the husband. Whatever he says, the wife has to follow, in most cases. So Cynthia is just going with the flow. I could not be a wife in the Hispanic man, I like to express my opinions a lot if it is wanted or not. Ya’ll know what I mean! Haha.
The Elders found another person, in the laundry room. Her name is Melisa. Melisa lives with her daughter and her sister, Tamara! And Tamara’s daughter and Tamara’s boyfriend, Omar. Omar and Tamara don’t seem interested but Melisa does. Melisa is really sweet and we are excited to go back and visit her again.
Haha…so the goal for the Plano Stake is to have every family member give out a Book of Mormon to someone in November. So, Hermana Richardson and I have been visiting families to coaching them on how to give one out. Because let’s face it, giving out a Book of Mormon is probably the most scaring thing someone could do. Because I know I was afraid of giving them out before the mission, and now I’m anxious to give one out like every day, well at least one. So we were visiting the Del Angles family, the wife is a recent convert who was baptized in August. And we were teaching the family how to give out a Book of Mormon, then we were about to leave. So, we were going to leave with a prayer. Brother Del Angles asked his youngest son to give the prayer. So he stared out the Prayer, “Dear Heavenly Father, please bless my family, the people…etc.” Then the last sentence he said was, “Please Bless my mom that she won’t come home smelling like alcohol. Amen.” Because my Spanish isn’t perfect I wasn’t sure if I heard it right. Then Hermana Richardson was like well, thanks for your time and we will see you later! At this moment I looked at Sister Del Angles and her face was priceless! Then when we got into the car, Hermana Richardson was like did you hear what he said? And I was like no…then she said that basically his mom still drinks! And she didn’t want to make it awkward so we like left so fast!! I was like WOW!
Anyways, this week we went tracking and found a Less Active name Douglas. He was baptized in Gutamala! And never found the church when he got here to the states. So we set up an appointment with Douglas and we found out that he lives with 6 other people in a two bed room apartment! Then we also foundout that another person living with Douglas is a Less Active who was baptized in Honduras! (2nd Best Mission next to Texas) Then there friend Richard, who seem interested about our message! We went back for the appointment we set up and his friend Richard seems like he wanted to listen to our message and is willing to come to church! But guess what? He has to work! What a surprised? Not really. But he says he is coming to the Spanish Branch Thanksgiving dinner. So im excited about that! He is going to come and love it! And never wants to leave! Because we are just that awesome.
Well, guess who came to church!!!! JO!!! You have no idea how much Jo put us though to get him to church. Jo doesn’t have a car so Sister Richardson and I make arragemnts for someone to pick him up with his kids. We wanted to make sure that Jo came to church so we stop by his apartment and no one answered the door. But the car of his babies’ mama was in front so I knew Jo was home. So Hermana Richardson and I knocked on his door for 20mins! Finally he answered! he was in the bathroom shaving his kid’s head. So he said he would come to church but he didn’t have a ride and the ride we arragned already left for church. (Church starts at 2:30om and it was like 2:20pm). So he asked his babies’mama to take him. From some stories that I heard about her, she wasn’t going to do it. And she did. She took Jo and her kids to church! Which is a miracle!!!!! So she went to sacrament, only, then took the kids home, with her.
Jo stayed for all three hours and he knew everything! He knows a lot! The Elders were impressed about how much he knew! Hermana Richardson and I were so happy!!! Next step, get him baptized! So this week, I want to set up a date with him!! So Jo is going to get baptized! That is my goal! I will not leave Plano until he get baptize!
Well, everyone I hope you enjoyed my letter!
Love you!!
