This transfer is almost over! Sorry I am so late with today's email. We had district activity this morning at the time when we usually do emails. That went to about one and since then, we have been busy! But, thankfully we had some time left to email!
I hope you had a good birthday, Mom! I am glad my card got there!
So, I have some news. The Post Office isn't forwarding our mail anymore. What usually happens is that the mail gets sent to the Mission Home, and then forwarded to us from there. But, the Post Office just passed a law that forwarding mail is a no-no. So, what that means, is that we will only be getting mail a few times a transfer. It's a bummer, but that's life! So yeah. Now, you don't have to send a package a certain way! Just send mail whatever way is easiest :)
I forgot my journal today, so I will try my best to remember what has happened this past week. Really, not much has happened. I don't know if I told you this or not, but we have this investigator named Nico. He hasn't progressed very much. But, we started reading the Book Of Mormon with him again. Only this time, we are having him do what we are doing while reading. (If I haven't told you what we are doing, we are marking all the names of Christ in red, his words in blue, and his doctrine in green. It's a lot of fun!) Anyways, we had him start marking all of the names of Christ, and he really seems to like it. He told us that it helps him focus in what he is reading even more. So, hopefully he will start progressing soon! Also, I think I told you about la familia Cortes (the eternagators). We started teaching them again, and had them do the same thing as Nico with the Book Of Mormon. They really seemed to like it too, and are progressing! They are always really excited when we come over and I think that they might get baptized soon! And that's about it. Being a missionary, all the days mesh together and it's really hard to remember things sometimes! :(
I am SO excited for Conferencia General! Elder Price and I downloaded some older talks and they are so cool! The first session starts at 9 (really weird! I have never watched Conference earlier than 10!) and then it's just normal. We are going to our stake center to watch it (in English, thank goodness!) That will be really weird too. Going to church to watch it instead of home... But, I am so excited! I can't wait to hear what Elder Holland has this time! (most of the talks we downloaded were by him; he is such a FANTASTIC speaker!)
So, since this is the last week of the transfer, Elder Price (because he is District Leader) will get a call on Sunday telling him what missionaries are leaving. He is pretty sure (90%) that he is leaving, because President Cook likes to separate greenies and their trainers after the first three months. But, there is still a chance that he could stay! Or I could leave! We don't know! But, that's what happens during transfers. I hope none of our district gets transferred. This district is so awesome. Next week I will send you a picture of them. :)
So, you think I would have gained a lot of weight from eating a lot of food, and riding in the car all the time, right? Well, nope! I have actually lost some weight. My first belt stopped fitting, so I had to switch over to my stretchy belt! The food here is sooooooooo good. And authentic! Hispanics eat a lot of things that I never thought of. Like, shrimp. There have actually been a lot of dishes with shrimp. None of them were any good, but I ate them! Haven't had anything super rare yet, like menudo. And we have actually had lasanga twice! (with the same family haha). The food is really good!
I hope everything goes well with Dad's surgery! That does not sound like any fun. Neither with Jaxon! I really hope he gets feeling better! Do none of the doctors know what is going on?
Oh man! I have seen magazines with Hunger Games pictures in them and wanted to see them so bad! I hope it was a good movie!
Spanish is coming along good still. I really need to talk more in Spanish, otherwise I won't learn! Listening is still the hardest part. But, it's coming little by little! One day!
That's it from me! I hope you have a super fantastic week!
Love, Elder Hunt :)
P.S. I am excited for the package :)
