Anyway
this week was so dang hard. But it was a good week. We struggled a lot
and walked a lot more, but we also saw tons of tender mercies from the
lord. Always the best!! We decided not to be in contact with Felipe this
week and just kind of let things be. We ended up seeing him at one of
our members birthday party and it was good!! This member is Hispanic so
they invited us and we were able to talk and contact a ton of people!!
It was actually great. We got a new Ward mission leader, and he is
American but speaks Spanish and is married to a Mexican lady and he was
just fellowshipping Felipe the whole time at the party. The best part is
that we are having a family home evening at their house tonight with felipe! So let's see how that goes :)
Besides
that we did a ton of contacting and finding and trying to visit some of
our potential investigators. On Wednesday we walked so much and so far
and when we finally got to the house of a less active we knocked and no
one was home. We went and knocked a few more houses and decided to go
and try the house again. We knocked and knocked and knocked then it
started pouring and storming. We decided just to wait on the dry porch
for a little longer and wait for our ride. We decided to knock one more
time, and Luis answered!!!! We were able to talk with him about his
baptism and everything. Hopefully we can get in and get him back to
church.
Also!!!!
We are trying to build up our priesthood in our spanish so we can start
a branch sooner if we have so many Spanish priesthood holders. Well we
were talking to this guy at Walmart and he told us that his cousin is a
member and served his mission in Monterrey Mexico too and he just moved
back here but he didn't know where the church was. Well yesterday we got
a call from The guy!!! His name is Daniel and he is an RM and
everything. It's just what we need!! :)
Onto
thanksgiving. It was different. We got ready and went around and shared
little messages about being thankful and gratitude. The thing we were
scared of was that every Hispanic we go and visit will want to feed us.
And so We went to the Abacs and they forced us to eat... It was really
good. We had turkey and rice and beans and tortillas. Haha it was
different but really good too! After we had our dinner appointment at
the cooks. It was good as well!
it was so nice of them to feed us and it was really good too!! Then our
dinner at margaritas.... Hahaha she canceled on us.... Joy. We ended up
going to say happy thanksgiving to our less active Beaty, and they
invited us and it was so good!!!! This way good pork, and noodles, and
pancho and that was good. It's like a little bit like wassel but
different at the same time haha. Overall it was a great thanksgiving.
And I have so much to be thankful for in my life :)
This
next week we have a ton of appointments and are even going to try and
set a date with this guy named Franco. He has been to church the last 2
weeks and he loves it!!! He even asked one of our members what he needs
to do to be baptized. WHAT. Please pray for him. He is just such a cool
guy and kind of reminds me of Pedro off of napoleon dynamite. Hahaha he
is great!! :)
Dad,
the house looks great!!!! I love the white lights around the windows.
It looks great. And mom the tree looks really good too. I need a picture
of that camel in the window though!!! I'm glad it was fun to have
brandon and haley come up too. They are the best!!! Also mad props to
you all for doing that 5k!!! I want pictures. I love you all so much. I
am so blessed to have the best family ever. I missed you guys this
thanksgiving but I am more thankful that we are gonna be together
forever. Have a great first week of December hopefully some snow will
come too to add to the house :)
Love always,
Hermana Lizzy Brown :)
