Thanks everyone for all the e-mails, encouraging words and pictures! The best part about Mondays is definetely getting to read about all my loved ones and how they are doing. So we are still in the Hotel, they had to extend our stay but I heard we are going to be getting our apt this Wed! so that is very very good news the bad news is that we are getting the Elders apt and they are moving into a different one. That is bad because we have no idea what condition the apt is going to be in.... haha we have told them multiple times that it better be clean and have no unusal odors. They are moving to the new one because it is closer to both of their districts (there is two companionship of elders in one apt) and it is in a sketchier part of town and they didn't want us living in that area. So once we move into our apt I can tell you all the address so if you want to send letters it can get to me quicker than sending it to the mission home.
So my computer that I am using right now isnt letting me upload pictures so i will make sure to send some next week! Im so sorry but sometimes these computer places are kinda weird.
So this past week was alright, I still feel like I have so much more to offer to the field and in the work and that we aren't working as hard as we could be and it's hard because Im not sure what we can do or what we should be doing because Im so new so I have this feeling of urgency because Im I dont feel like we are giving our all yet. But little by little we keep getting more work and more citas (visits) and we are doing more getting more work than last week which is great!
**** I gave out my first baptisimal invite!!! *** and HE ACCEPTED!!! His date is July 6 . He is a 32 yr old spaniard and he is going through a really rough time right now trying to find an apt and stuff like that. His name is Juan Miguel and he has so much faith in God and Christ and tells us that he can feel that the stuff we are telling him is true. He does smoke but is determined to stop and we are meeting with him basically every day in order to help him because he says he never gets the urges to smoke when he is at church or talking to us. I think he has a bit of a social problem or something , like he moves his arms around a lot when he talks but when you talk to him he is completley mentally there and talks normal. He has such a good heart, Im very excited for him.
We are also visiting a couple families, Jose Miguel and Dani , I think i might have talked about them last week, they arent married and thats the biggest trial right now with their progression. Then there is Alfredo and Iris and they are married!!! which is soo happy to hear that as a missionary because there isnt that trial standing in the way of baptism! but they were old investigators that we werent able to get a hold of and it was so random how we ran into them, we were going to a cita with a recent convert and it happened to be Alfredos brother law and he just happened to be visiting him at that time which is a miracle because our cita with Tomas (the recent convert ) was earlier that day but because of some confusion we had to change the time and it shows how the lord works because if we would have met with tomas at the first time we wouldnt have ran into Alfredo!
anyways I have much more to say but I am running out of time. so till next week! The members are really nice and feeding us lots and lots! which the Elders are jealous of because they dont get feed as much by the members but i guess the members are just really excited for sister missionaries! anyways I love you all so extremely much! and am so happy to hear you are all doing well! keep me updated on anything big that is going on in your lives and know that you are all always in my prayers!
Con Mucho Amor, Hermana Hair
