Well, I totally could have written to you but we got super busy and I really ran out of time to email you guys. My bad.
I have no idea what to write about. I've been having a lot of fun with an English companion. He still wakes up late and does stuff that bothers me, but it's cool. I've been teaching and stuff like normal.
So the weeks from like the 12th of December till the 6th of January are hard because like everyone is busy and no one is home. So not a ton of stuff to talk about.
We found a new investigator that I'm not sure if I've mentioned or not, his name is Alberto. He is the husband of a super less-active member that we found who had, like, zero interest. So, we contacted her husband. He was super interested, which is awesome because his interest will help his inactive wife out a ton. We taught about the restoration, I think. We didn't invite him to church or something, my bad. The next time we went, we went and taught about the importance of going to church and the commandments, and we committed him to go to church. We went by his house Sunday morning and we didn't find him and at night we like couldn't go visit him so we didn't see him all week, which is like bad cause he can't progress. So we went by his house, on like Friday, and he like saw us and came out invited us in and was like why didn't you guys come by to take me to church, I was waiting and then I tried to find the church and I couldn't. So we committed him to come to church and we went back to his house to teach him after church. super cool investigator he has the desire, there are many investigator who like what we teach and everything but like only think about the gospel when we show up. we show up in his house and he was like so the three original apostles gave jose the priesthood? tell me about that? he also called me like thirty minutes before church started and told me his wife was sick and they were going to the hospital so i can't come to church, then he like thought about it and came to church. super cool. THAT NEVER HAPPENS!
Anyway it's super exciting finding new people to teach. I honestly don't know what to write we went to the mall today and I bought a super sick tie and a sweater, birthday presents to me. The tie was a little expensive but worth it.
Last Sunday we had like 25 people at church, not one investigator and like 5 less actives. This Sunday there were like 50 people 18 less actives and three investigator New Year's resolutions I think cause like working this past week was difficult and we didn't even have that many lessons.
Anyway love you tons. My packages haven't gotten here yet. You made some comment about you didn't think it was going to show up, I think it's going to come it just takes forever. Hahaha also about packages I was worried Fedex was super expensive. I think there is a service similar to"Dear Elder" for packages that look like they don't take forever.
I'm going to try and have a good birthday here in the mission; eat some cake for me at home.
Loves!
