Hola Family,
It is so great to hear from you. Mondays are days that we look forward to when we have had a difficult week.
I do get to go to the temple during my Birthday month. We have transfers on the 30th of July so I will wait and see where I am at before we schedule anything because we have to have a member take us.
Everything is going. I don't know if Heavenly Father wants me to learn patience but I really have felt this week that we are walking the path that Christ walked.
Manuel, came to church last week. We had a lesson with him on Wednesday and committed him to be baptized on July 27th. He was really excited and wanted to change for the better. We set up another appointment on Saturday. He told us that he broke the Word of Wisdom. To be baptized you have to be clean for three weeks. The other part that was frustrating is that he is on disability and he doctor asked what he did this weekend and he said he went to church with us and the doctor right then and there brought up Anti-Mormon literature for him to read. We asked if we could do anything to help him with his Word of Wisdom problem and he said no. He wants to get off the alcohol himself. He clearly needs help but doesn't want to take it.
Daniel is ok. We have been struggling with what to do with him. We had an appointment last night, and we are still trying to figure out what is going on. He can't come to church on Sunday because he works. His work is saying either you take the job or you walk away. He hasn't been reading because he doesn't have time. We know that he can read. I did offer my CD's to listen to in the car but his CD player in his car is broken.
Most of our investigators are too busy to talk to us or don't come to church even when we invite them. Some of them don't show up for the appointments we set or aren't home. It's really frustrating and sometime you wish you could just take away their agency but we can't.
Our dinner calender is full! We have eating peppers in corn tortillas and lentils and other stuff. All of it is really good. Sister Taylor is good. We both just wish we were having more success. Maybe this transfer we are just planting seeds.
I have bought peaches, plums, and strawberries. I really love peaches and plums.
The most spiritual thing that happened this week is that one of the family members of our recent convert wants to come to church and learn more. We also get to teach the YW next Sunday which I am really excited for.
The scripture that means the most to me this week is Jacob 5: 70-76; 41. (Parable of the vineyard)
The funniest thing that happened this week was when we were walking from the door of an investigator and I wasn't watching my step because I was marking something in my planner. I fell because i didn't see the step. After what happened processed in my head, I just sat on the ground for a few minutes but my right calf area and side of my leg are bruised but i didn't cry, I just laughed!!
Tell Sister Schoen that I say hi and wish that I could see her. She will do a fantastic job on the house. I can't wait to see the pictures when she is done.
Oh. one other thing that I thought of that you could get me for my birthday is more bath and body works perfume and stuff. We found this picture on the ground and I thought of you. Love ya!!
Snail Mail will be on the way this week. I'll get better I promise :)
Love,
Hermana Fitzpatrick
