Hola!

Hola!

So, this weekend was pretty exciting!  But, in a not so good way :(  On Saturday, we had two baptisms (yay!).  On Friday, we asked one of the members to invite Olga and her daughter to the baptism.  So, she did so and on Saturday, she told us that Olga did not want anything to do with the Church or the missionaries or anything.  We were really bummed out :( she was such a good investigator!  But, we also talked to Hermana Valdivia (Olga's friend) and she told us that it was because of her daughter, Michelle.  In their house, it's only Olga and Michelle and they have a really tight bond.  And Olga does just about everything for Michelle, because she doesn't want to lose her to drinking and partying and all that bad stuff.  And so, Hermana Valdivia told us that Michelle is pretty controlling.  She said that Michelle didn't like all the rules and standards that the Church has and told her mom that she didn't want to learn from the missionaries anymore.  So, Olga said okay and that she would just learn and go to church.  But, their big "bonding day" is Sunday (because neither of them work that day), and Michelle said that if her mom would go to church, then she would just leave and hang out with friends.  So, Olga dropped us in order to spend more time with her daughter.  She still wants to learn, but right now just isn't her time, I guess.  But, I can still see her getting baptized.  Just not now, sadly :(

On Sunday, I got sick :(  We think it might have been some food I ate on Saturday night, or maybe the HUGE change in the weather (Monday was 40 degrees and the rest of the week was 70+ and Saturday and Sunday was 90).  So, Sunday, I threw up a few times, but now I am all better (almost).  I still feel a little sick, but not enough to stop me from working! 

And, Elder Toronto came out with us again.. He is so cool!

And, while with Elder Toronto, we contacted this family that was taught by the missionaries about five years ago.  When Elder Price and I went to go visit them, we had such a good talk with them!  They even had all their children come and talk with us!  Not even all member families do that with us!  It was so cool!  While we were talking about the Gospel and families, the dad even started to cry and told us he really felt the Spirit!  It was so awesome.  (that he felt the Spirit, not crying)  We have another appointment with them tomorrow night, and we are going to extend baptism dates!  Elder Price is going on exchanges with Elder Gibbons, in the other area, tomorrow, so it will Elder Chavez and I teaching them!  Two greenies!  Wish us luck!  Haha

I am glad to hear Jaxon is doing okay now!  I still pray for him all the time.  Hopefully he can catch up in school!

Sounds like C.E.R.T, classes are super fun!  How come you started to take them?

Maddy is getting ready for 7th grade?!?!  OMJ.  She is so old! 

What did UVU call for?

I hope you all have a wonderful week!  I love you!

Love, Elder Hunt

P.S.  Included is proof that it snowed here last week.  In case you didn't believe me.
