Email from November 10, 2014


So this week was pretty good I’m not going to lie! We revisited a family that finally decided to progress. They are my favorite! It’s the family that has a person who has to sign. I totally learned the alphabet and a lot of other words from him this week! I feel so cool. It comes really easy probably because I don’t have to conjugate anything.

People continue to stare.  I have no idea why! I’m pretty sure they’ve seen someone like me at least once!

Overall I’ve been mainly doing the usual stuff! I found a tienda (store) that sells mandarinas (I’m sure you can know what that is) for SO cheap so every time before we go home I usually grab one of those. I say it’s cheap because they are absolutely HUGE and I pay like a peso for each.

The language just got so much easier for me and I can feel the help from God. Today was actually really interesting because our rooms are finally done and we moved into them. It was really fun trying to find a spot for our nails for our lines for clothes. I was a genius in our room and I made 2 very long lines and they aren’t in the way of anything.

  The Nuevo Casa

OH I remember something! So this week my left shoulder blade has been hurting really bad and I don’t know why. So guess what. Me helping the ZL´s paid off and they put some of Grandpa´s Voodoo cream on there for me . . . . I slept well that night. For those that don’t know what Gpa´s voodoo cream is it’s basically ice in a cream that heals things like the next day. nuff said.

Another habit that I picked up and I’m not really proud of is that I tend to fall asleep during lessons. I kid you not sometimes I’ll be teaching then I’ll pass the baton to my companion and then next thing I know I’m being nudged by my companion.  I’m just not used to the schedule yet! I hope.

  I finally found an altar for Dia de Muertos so here it isSo a little history on this altar you would put things that the person liked to eat for example you would put for me some Training table cheese fries, some potato chips and stuff like that for mom and Taylor it would be really easy because you would just put lots of types of chocolate! haha

In our whole apartment we have one Mexican (my companion), A Californian, and 2 Utahns. I don’t know what it is but I really make the Californian laugh.  A lot!  And the same with my Utahn counterpart. So a few lines that my eagle mountain friend (Utahn) says all the time. "Are you spreading what I just pulled out of the jar?"  "Are you smelling what I just stepped in?" "Are you scoopin what I´m poopin?" stuff like that I’ll update you on what’s going down if I remember.

So we were teaching an investigator this week and it was outside in front of a park. So this guy walks up to this bush really close to us and I thought "he’s totally looking for drugs" and then I thought what are you thinking! He’s probably not. But then he said "Sorry I forgot where I put my marijuana" sometimes your right. 

Well I love each and every one of you guys. My spiritual thought this week coincides with 3 Nephi 11 in general I know it’s pretty long but here it is. So something to think about, Jesus Christ descended amongst the people of Nephi. Not on a mountain or above the temple where he could preach. He was among them. And He let EVERY SINGLE PERSON see the scars in his hands and his feet. How does this apply? Well for us he is patiently waiting for us to get a testimony of him everyone has a chance to get it. Not a few not the chosen but everyone has the chance. and I have an invitation to everyone. If you haven’t already see and feel the scars of Christ. He has his arms outstretched for every single person and it’s time you do if you haven’t already

LOVE YOU CHURCH IS TRUE!!!! :D
