July 8th - Loving the Mission!!

hola Familia,

Yo soy muy bueno y esta pasado semena nos tenemos milagros en nuestra misionaria trabajo. Esta semana, un investagador nombre Manuel. Cuando primero visitar con el, el decir el no quiere asistir a la iglesia. Pero es pasada semana cuando llama el a set up otra cita con el. El decir por medio el telefono que el quiere a asistir a la iglesia. Ayer Manuel, venir a la iglesia y stayed por todo tres horas. El really gustaria it y decir as long as nos get him a ride, he will come. 

(Here's the translation...)  I'm very good.   This last week we have had miracles in our missionary work. This week, an found an investigator named Manuel. When we first visited with him, he said he didn't want to go to church. But this last week when we called to set up another appointment, half-way through the phone call, he said he wanted to attend church.  Yesterday, Manual came to the Church and stayed for all three hours. He said he really liked it.   He said as long as we get him a ride, he will come.  Baby steps.  

When we met with him, he is having some word of wisdom problems.   During the lesson I had the feeling to ask him if he wanted a priesthood blessing.  He said, "If you think it would help."  We talked more about what the priesthood is and what the blessings are for.  After church, we had our zone/district leaders come and give him a blessing.   One of our district leaders found Manual and gave him to us because he is more Spanish then English. If that is all I do this transfer, I will be really proud. 

We also had exchanges and I learned alot and how to be a better missionary. I have done more piano playing, I played in the branch yesterday because the person that is assigned to play didn't show up. 

I think I might get transferred next transfer but I never know because there have been some missionaries who have come to this area and have spent a whole year here.   It has mostly been elders that have said that. 

I did see Hermana Rubow at transfers. I was so excited because she is in the Ventura,CA mission and that gives us hope to be in the same district or be companions. I also got a letter from her this week and she told me  that after the mission, her mom and her and us will have to go on a daughter/mom trip.

Oh, TiWi. Well TiWi has been nice to me but I did get a call from Elder Truman from the mission office asking if TiWi was still causing problems and I said yes it has, so TiWi is going to get replaced but since that call TiWi hasn't made a sound.

The Funniest thing that happened this week, well Hermana Taylor and I  have been looking at swimming pools and torturing ourselves. We were in the car and Hna. Taylor spilled her water bottle and she said, "Well, that is the wettest I will get for a year and a half!"   There are other funny things that happen throughout the week.  Everything is better. We have gotten so much closer and are trying our best to be the best missionaries that we can be. 

Our biggest challenge is finding new people to teach. We've knock every day and nothing has come out of it. Another tender mercy beside Manuel, is Daniel. We set up another appointment finally with him. He has been super busy with work and hasn't had time to read but he is still praying and still has the desire to be baptized. We have been challenging more people to be baptized and so August will definitely be a baptizing month for the branch. I will snail mail ya this week (no kidding).  I'm still thinking of what I want for my birthday. 

Love y'all
