Week 82

So before it gets any later......... ill shoot you guys a quick email.

This week, actually first. Dad, my friend is serving in montreal and she told me today that she met someone who said that an elder blotter was their missionary a michael blotter.......... so we´ll see about that next week. i told ehr you served your mission in 81-82 right? Thats pretty Crazy amiright?

Anyways about whats going on here. felt better this week, even though it didnt go as spectacular as last week.

the great part of this week was that members want to help us. i mentioned that a couple people asked us when they could go out to work with us in church. they all came through so tuesday we visited people and did stuff wiht the youngmens pres, who is really doing work as the youngmens pres, we went from like 1 or2 youngmen to like 8 or 9 at church this week. okay then the next day we went to do visits with the guy who is going to be the ward mission leader visited all the inv. so he could know them teach a little bit. thursday we picked up houses with president and taught a couple lessons again with the ward mission leader. and friday we went out with the whole youngmens presidency to do visits with young men to go find less active young men.
 saturday all our plans exploded.......... we think cause god made them, in that there were other things he needed us to do.


Okay. funny story so we went to go to the youngmens pres house to do visits at 5 he doesnt show up till 545 but we went in cause its like a family home, and the 4 year old named pamela hosted us for like 45 mins with games coloring books puzzles hahaha jokes. literally the cutest little girl. probably my favorite member of the ward right now. hahahaha

idk i just really loved seeing the ward begin to do their own work see fruits and be like oh wow all i need to do is go visit the YM or YW and theyll come to church.
we actually just got back to the hosue cause we were at the church playing soccer and basketball with youngmen youngwomen and the presidents. it was very cool from like flip this ward has no forward progress because theres no jovenes to having an activity with like 10+ people two invited kids non member. super cool.

And Laura is about to get baptised this week.

something cool with the temple open house, they dont give tours on sunday but this sunday they opened up for the women the bridal room or whatever its called and gave like a special tour and stuff. laura went like a champ called us after and was like ya..... i needd to go back there to get married someday...... we were like ya you do.

other frustrating stuff cool stuff idk the family alba didnt go to church this week, cause parties in puebla which is what the next state over is called ruined our saturday and sunday plans/ church attendence of inv.

did i ever mention the awkward moment we´ve been having for a while? there was this lady that stopped us in the street to ask what church her dad and sister should go to... she was on vacation and from what i understood she was a member they werernt. THEN i told them they go to our ward. cause she said rio de churubusco, the name the streets on....... okay so we go to visit them, they live on the other side of two wards away. and they have a reference of a family that lives in my old area, that doesnt have any missionaries. so we asked pres about it and he told us to visit them for right now......... which makes an awkward situation of the family that doesnt live in our ward inviting the new inv. to go with their family to a ward that neither of them go to......... hahahaha so we´ve been having to juggle that for a little bit.


And i think thats all maybe tomorrow ill send you like some pics we took this week.
Mom: i told you i went to an aquarium here like a month ago and it was a total blast and i stiilll love fishes. there are a Ton of people going on missions now and its wierd. hahahah i think ive seen garricks hair, girl long hair im not against if you can pull it off. and garrick i didnt think could................. Also with sam, just print off a copy of the honor code and tell him he agreed to live it the entire time he enrolled and not just when he´s taking classes...... hahaha

Dad:
