Hi everyone! how has your week has been going? Mine was great! this week we are expecting rain,snow,and sun. i swear, only in texas where it would 71 degrees around 2 or 3 and by 6 or 7 its down in the 40's.
Anyways, this week was super fun! We went over to a less active house and showed his wife, Janet, there son program from a couple of weeks ago. Janet loved it. I guess we showed her how much we care about her because of the video we showed her. But now she has confidence in us, so next time we teach her we are going to commit her to baptism. But the only bad thing is she doesn't believe that the Church is true. But in her heart she does. I think outside influences are telling her that our chruch is wrong. But right now we are killing her with kindness.
So i decided that living in Texas, is great because 1. I have hot water ever day! and 2. I dont have to worry about getting deptored but the bad thing, being a Spanish missionairy, not everyone speaks Spanish, hahaha. We found a lot of great potential people but they are white, and they only speak English. We got to talk to a lot of English speaking people. For once in my life, I was acctually nice. I'm gald that I was because we would knock on people doors and they were like. "Oh wow. Mormons." Then we would have a converstation about the Gospel. In the end they werent interested about learing more about our gospel but they were like...yah I've always know someone who is Mormon and they were always nice and you two are nice. So in conclusion I need to stay nice so that they can always have a sweet taste in their mouths about Mormons!
Now, to the Hispanics. This week we went and saw Carmen and Jose. Remeber Carmen, the one that took 20 mins to understand that I'm Native American? We went and visited their family and Jose is totally overwhemeed by the information we taught him. We finished the plan of salvation. I know that they Holy Ghost is testifying that what we are saying is true. It's just that he doesnt know or how to recognized the Honly Ghost. He was saying that he remembers the stuff that we are teaching him, but he doesnt know where he has heard it from. The thing is that we are the only church that believes in the Plan of Salvation! I know he knows that what we share is true, he just needs time because it is overwheleming information that we are teaching.
Oh so my companion Hna Finnell got sick so I went on exchanged with a member in my spanish branch. Pricella (sorry if i spelled your name wrong) and she was amazing! She is going to be a future missionary! We were kocking doors and she wouldn't take no for an answer! She would knock on peoples doors untill they answered! Which is great! We taught a recent convert family about the Holy Ghost and I used my favorite analogy that I read from an Ensign article. If you eat a grape and jalapeno at the same time which one can you taste? The jalapeno because it over powers the other. So the holy ghost is like the grape, when you do bad stuff you cant taste or feel the holy ghost, so we need to do stuff so that we can keep the holy ghost with us!
Well everyone, I love you and miss you! I hope that you have a great week!
