The reason I’m emailing on Thursday this week is because we were supposed to have a temple trip yesterday which means our p day gets pushed back... Well the night before I found out that I had to take Elder F to a meeting in R instead of my temple trip. So today is my half pday because we have some appointments. Luckily I get to go to the temple next week with AV zone. I haven’t been to the temple in 6 months and you’re supposed to go every 3 haha B gets left out of everything! It’s crazy when I talk about things I haven’t done for 6 months because it makes me feel like I’m soooo far into my mission but then I think about it and I’m really not hahaha but it’s okay. So really not a whole lot has been going on this last week and a half. Lots of tracting and lots of looking for less actives that want us to teach them. We haven’t really been the most successful in Elder F’s eyes but I still feel like I’m having success because I’m at least out working and TRYING. Now I have a cool story for you, mom... A couple actually. So you know how we play basketball with the poly's on Thursday? Well while tracting the last week we came across 3 people that play and they told us we could come back and teach them! It made me super excited! We will be going back soon! now the coolest thing... on Monday since it wasn’t Pday we were tracting and we knocked on a door of a guy who was really nice and we did our whole door approach but in this one when he said he had a faith in God I did a brief summary of the restoration lesson and he invited us back to teach him AND his fiancé tonight! When I got your email and it said you had fasted for me I believe that that was an answer to your fast! We will see how things go but I feel like he is going to be awesome! Now another cool thing! I am going to be on the radio!!!! I’ll send you the link that you can use to listen to it when I get it. But a lady in our ward has a radio station that is a religious station and we got permission from our President to be on it! We did a practice recording today and it turned out really well! The first one is going to be a recording and the ones the following weeks will be on air and we will be accepting call ins! I’m really excited and I feel like a lot of good could come from this! It’s a national broadcast so it’s a little scary but not too bad! Well as for everything else... things are going really well! I’m getting along with my companion and just trying to help him out in any way I can! He is a funny kid. Well that’s really all for this week... Until we have some good solid people to teach there’s not really a ton to say. J H is still doing awesome and I absolutely love that family to death. Same with S and A’s family. Sister B is pretty much like a mom to me out here. Well I love you tons and thank you for all the goodies!! Have an awesome week!
I’ve heard allllll about the hunger games out here! haha Elder U my roommate bought me and him Hunger Games pins like the ones that Katniss gets in the movie! They are pretty cool! I’m Jealous you get to see B and Family! Hopefully I’ll be able to skype with everyone again on Mother’s Day which is coming up! I couldn’t believe that H turned 4! This whole time I’ve been out here I thought she was still 2! haha whooops! I already told mom this in the big email but I’m going to tell you too. I had almost instant success with your fasting. We found a potential investigator on Monday who I feel is really looking for something. He wanted us to come back tonight when his fiancé can be there too. We are planning on teaching the restoration and focusing on how this blesses families and how families can be together forever! I hope it turns out awesome!! Well not really a ton is going on... next week my email will probably be a lot about Elder Ballard coming! Which is on Saturday! I’m really excited about it! Everything with my trainee is going good. He still doesn’t understand that you don’t ALWAYS have people to teach and that people DO cancel on you. He tries to tell people that our area sucks because we don’t have investigators. I really enjoy our area and even though sometimes tracting sucks I like it and like the experiences I get out of it... it’s funny because the other day he complained to me that after we ate lunch which took like 15 min that we should go back and work but I told him I was going to take my full hour of lunch. He says it’s just boring so I tell him to go study but he just sits there. Oh well...
I love you tons and hope your week is amazing!
