Week 8

Wow.... I'm already going onto my third week in the change.... Crazy! This week has been so awesome! We've had tons of adventures:)

Tuesday: So that house we wanted... It went to the other guy, but the lady who owns it said that the couple in one of the other apartments is moving out in a couple of weeks so we're going to keep our eye on it. We also had district meeting today and our focus was on the Book of Mormon and on how to effectively teach it. We had to end early though because one of the girls there has a very bad back (She might have a tumor, so pray for her) and she was in so much pain, so we gave her a blessing. And he did really good in finding people. We now have a group of kids we're teaching and a group of borachos(drunks).

Wednesday: Divisions! I got to do divisions with the girl with the bad back, Hermana Espinosa. It was such a great experience. She is a native, so that got me to practice my Spanish all day. It was cool to see how much I actually know. But we went to the offices so I could practice singing for a meeting and then we went to the therapist for her. It was a really good day:)

Thursday: Multi zone meeting! I got to sing with another elder and people loved it. And there was an elder there that I graduated with! Small world:) But a member of the seventy spoke to us on the importance of Preach My Gospel and the Book of Mormon. It was so long.... 5 hours.... but we got a lot out of it. And later that day we went and taught Martin, a boracho, about the Book of Mormon and I got to give it to him:) It's hard with him though because he is so addicted to alcohol... We can fix that:)

Friday: We taught our investigator Hermano Hugo about the Word of Wisdom. He's seriously so ready for baptism. He has a date May 10:) And he is so willing to follow everything. We also spoke to Martin again.... He'd been drinking... So we taught him the Word of Wisdom as well. He said he's going to try little by little... We also had a zone conference and it was on the importance of keeping in touch with your ward mission leader... And it was crazy because right at the end Hermana Espinosa had to be taken to the hospital. We're so worried about her... She has to go home on Wednesday....

Saturday: We had so much fun today. We taught our little group of kids and brought them a bunch of Hermana Olsen's easter candy. We also spent a little bit of time teaching them English. Pretty soon we're going to contact their older brothers. We also went and taught our borachos, and guess what.... Martin was showered, shaved, with new shoes, shirt, and pants... And he'd only drank a tiny bit... He was completely different! It was so great! But we taught them the first part of the Plan of Salvation. We also visited the crazy Familia Mason. They were better today, but very sad. Someone on a motor taxi ran over their dog and died...So we gave them a thought on faith and the Plan of Salvation to help them feel better.

Sunday: ¡Iglesia! This Sunday was really great. Hermana Espinosa spoke in Sacrament and we had two investigators there. We ate with the Familia Limon.... I have no idea how these people eat this much in one sitting. Oh my goodness! I was so full!! Luckily the husband said that I did not need to finish it if I was full, because he was too:) We also taught Hermano Hugo about the Law of Chastity. He understood it... But he lives with his “wife” and they're not married! But he wants to be baptized so bad so he's going to do everything he can to get that figured out. He's so cute:)

Well I hope that you all had a good week. And please write! Mail is so golden out here:) Love ya'll!

Love Always, Hermana Walker
