Alright this week.... Was full of great stuff:)) Sorry I
just feel weird because I have exactly a year until I will be in my house.... I
don't want that to happen yet!
Lunes: Today was so much fun! We woke up and did our grocery
shopping and washed our clothes. Then we got together with Hermana. Salcedo and
her comp to do hair. Best day ever! I cut her hair and then I dyed and cut my
comp's hair. I absolutely love doing this sort of thing on people:) Then we
went out to write y'all. We tried to go out and work today, but it started
pouring rain, like super hard! So we stayed in to do our analysis of our
numbers to see if the rain would die down, but it didn't. So I introduced my
comp to the music of Sons of Provo and the dance to Word of Wizzum.... Let's
just say I was on something today....:))
Martes: Today we had a really good district meeting about
contacting, because our district is having a hard time finding new people to
teach. And our practices went really well. And I got to use my muscles today in
carrying this huge box of Book of Mormons home. We have an activity on Thursday
about the Book of Mormon and we're going to watch The Testaments:) Today we
were able to go visit Hno. Hugo and we taught him about baptism. He was able to
understand a lot more about the importance of baptism and was able to
appreciate more that he took that step. Today we ate with Hermana. Sollo and we
had memelas and tasajo. Tasajo is kind of like a really thin steak and memelas
are tortillas with whatever you want to put on it and then you heat it up a
little bit more on a stovetop thing.... We tried contacting a lot and we found
a new investigator named Norma. We contacted her a few weeks ago and we went to
her house to teach. She's very religious and had a lot of questions about the
rules of our church, so we helped clarify a lot of things she has heard about
the church.
Miercoles: Today was really good. We were able to have
mormon.org time and I was able to get some music I want to listen to:) We also
ate in the house because we didn't have a member to eat with. We made spaghetti
with avocado:) We were able to teach Hermano. Hugo today about the gift of the
Holy Ghost. he had a lot of questions this time, so we answered them and he had
a better appreciation that he has the spirit with him always. We also met with
Hermana. Margarita today. She is just like my Bunka, it's ridiculous... She was
making little stuffed bears and rabbits to sell in a shop. We taught her about
the importance of the members, because there are a lot who think that this work
is for the missionaries and they don't have a part in it. But that's not true.
They can share this gospel as much as they want. She really loved it and is willing
to come with us to lessons:)
Jueves: Today was super great! We had our weekly planning
session that went great! And we also had comida with the Familia Martinez which
was amazing as always:) We also taught about the importance of the members with
her and she really opened up about this with us and how she feels as a convert
to the church how important it is for the members to make the investigators
feel comfortable. We also went up to Loma Linda to find a reference and we have
a cita with her today! Then it was time for our activity! It went so well! We
had tons of members and investigators there and by the end there were tons
crying. And they were all willing to take books to give to their friends and
everything. And I got to bear my testimony of the Book of Mormon, which was a
great experience:)... But we were late to get home.... And Elder Wagner was not
happy...... I'll just end it with that...
Viernes: Today was quite a day. We went to the offices to
get a name of a doctor Hermana. Molina needs to see for her back. And I found
out that Mexico is keeping one of my packages because it has my retainers in
it.... Bizarre.... Then we went to comida with the bishop and his family. It
was super good!! We also taught them about the importance of the members and it
was great because we had their son in the lesson who is a returned missionary
and he gave a lot of good comments. Then we visited Hermano. Hugo and taught
him about enduring to the end. He was a lot of doubts about this because he
feels he has a lot of problems and can't. So we helped him feel better and know
that he can! Then we spent the day contacting.... It was a long day... But we
were able to contact almost 20 people in 4 hours!:)
Sabado: Today was pretty good. We started our day with Hermana.
Marta and we talked about Heavenly Father and families. She absolutely loves
her family and wants all the love for them. She did talk a lot again though so
that was a little hard.... Then we went to Hermano. Hugo and we taught him
about obedience. This was a pretty good lesson because it was pretty self-explanatory
to him. We ate with the familia Montalvo and we had pizzoli, which was so good!
And we had a really good lesson on faith. We had to go home after that because
there was rain and Hermana. Molina has a cold. But when the rain died down we
went out to contact again. It was hard though because no one was outside.....So
we didn't have much success...
Domingo: Today church was great! Julia was there and in the
middle of Sacrament meeting Marta showed up! It was so great! We taught the
gospel principles class and it was about the law of sacrifice. They understood
it and we had a good discussion. The third hour we had an awesome lesson by the
bishopric about how everyone has problems, but we can be lifted up by the love
of our Savior:) We had comida with the familia Ferra and we were able to teach
one of their friends who has been coming to church with them. His name is
Marcos and he's 12 years old and loves the church. He's going to get baptized
on 11 de octubre:) We also saw Edgar and helped him feell better. He has a
problem with his brothers right now and we taught him about the atonement to
cheer him up. And we're going to bring him a pizza for not drinking for almost
2 months in our next cita:)
Well I hope y'all had a good week. I know I did:) And I hope
that the Book of Mormon challenge is still going. The next section is
Enos-Words of Mormon. I know that reading this book will bless your life. Read
it and love it!
Love Hermana Walker
