All the missionaries helping us move into our new place at
like 9:00 at night.
Busy
busy week! Before I forget I will start by letting you know we moved apartments
this week. |
What a fun mess that was. Our new
apartment is slightly bigger than the other one, but the air conditioner does
not seem to function, and it is always around 80 in the apartment. At least
it's not the summer any more right? Our new address is:
1000 Justice Way #907
1000 Justice Way #907
Abilene,

Yes! The
Bundys are still here! They gave us lunch yesterday after the conference! And
the Juarez family gave us lunch after conference on Saturday. We have been very
blessed by getting our stomachs filled despite our lack of money. And the first
night I was here Bro Robles fed us. Then the second night I didn't tell you but
Genaro and Lupe fed us. They are doing great! They are preparing to go to the
temple in a few months. I also was finally able to see Nadia this week too.
That was good. She was happy that I wrote her a letter pretty recently as well.
I really did enjoy conference as well, and I noticed how a
lot of the talks were about following the prophets and the organization and
leadership in the church. And we also put up sheets to
block out all the light from our windows. We have a suuuuper bright street light
right outside our window, and that first night we moved in, it was just so hard
to sleep. But we fixed the problem.
Another exciting event of the week is that President Heap
came down to San Angelo and we got to watch Meet The Mormons! It was great.
Fantastic. I highly recommend it. Bring your friends to watch it too. Easy,
stress free missionary opportunity right there. Seriously, if every non-mormon
saw that movie, I think that would help us out bundles as missionaries.
Sometimes people forget that we- missionaries- are still people too.
Here are some pictures of us putting up the bats from the package you sent on our "bat cave." |

Not too much as for investigators this week .We challenged
Ana, Sandra, and Odalis to be baptized. They said they weren't ready. We are
doing lots of hitting the streets and talking to people. So far this week we
got 1 new investigators from that. His name is Mario. He's the Mexican who
doesn't want to be Mexican. He's an interesting guy. At first we thought he was
going to totally cancel on our appointment we made with him, but now we're
teaching him. We are also working with some more of the less actives. Leonardo,
who was (and still is) the elder's quorum president stopped coming to church a
little after I left along with Azriel. So we will be focusing in on them and
well as on Yvonne, who is Kayla's mom. She's having it tough right now, and
really needs a friend. And she really needs the gospel. Sounds like the perfect
situation for missionaries if you ask me.
I forgot to send this picture from last week. This is with
Armando and his family who Elders King and Mitchell taught and baptized. I was
to one who gave him the baptismal interview, and I actually got to teach him
one time on exchanges too. This was the day that I didn't get to say goodbye to
all my Artesia friends, but Armando was super nice and told me how I had even
made an impact on him and made me feel right at home.
That's it
for this week! I hope all is well back in Virginia and Utah! I love you mom! I
love you dad! I love you Meagan! I love you Courtney!
