Hola Familia,
This week was really good in some ways and not so good in others. First we
set a baptismal date with one of our investigators named Victoria Ortega and
she'll be baptized this Saturday! So that's really exciting. Also we had our
Temple trip on Wednesday. But the weird thing is we couldn't find a ride to the
temple from any of our members. So we had to ask one of the Hermanas in our
District's Dad. It was pretty interesting having Hermana Adams Father take us to
the temple. He lives in San Diego and works in the temple full time as
management for facilities and other stuff. He also works their as a regular
worker. Hermana Adams actually saw him on the temple grounds as well as when he
took us to lunch afterwards! They didn't sit by eachother or even really
acknowledge that the other was there. Needless to say it was an interesting day.
Also one of the families we were teaching won't be able to meet with us anymore
because they are going to be going through a divorce. We were all super
depressed by the news and hope that everything will get better soon. But for the
time being, we're not teaching them anymore. As I told President in my e-mail to
him it really puts things in perspective. The people we teach go through a lot
to be able to accept or find the restored gospel. The adversary works
relentlessly to get these people off of the path and make them let go of the
Iron rod. It's really sad but for this reason we need to always be faithful and
cling to the gospel. I love sharing Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life to teach
about the gospel or Plan of Salvation or whatever. It's one of my favorite
stories in the Book of Mormon that I've grown to love on my mission. As far as
weather and such we just had a huge storm blow through here this morning but
other than that it's been pretty temperate. There has been some kind of bug
going around here and I've been feeling a little sick and haven't had much of an
appetite to eat or anything for the past couple of days. The Spanish is going
great, in fact while I've been writing this I've been thinking to put in words
in spanish and having difficulty changing it into English. I love Espanol, it's
such an amazing language and so different. I may enjoy it more than English. To
answer some of your questions yes I do enjoy your letters. Every one I get, and
I haven't been getting many recently? Anyways that's what's been going on here!
Hope you all have a great week! Les quiero!
