We had a pretty cool experience in English classes last week. We start the class all together and then split up the groups with individual missionaries. Elder Price went with one of his former investigators, Enrique. Enrique was investigating the Church about a month before I came in, and then he stopped before I came too. But, Elder Christensen (Elder Price's old companion before me) gave Enrique a copy of the General Conference Liahona from last Conference. And on Thursday, Enrique told Elder Price that he had read the entire magazine and knew all of it was true and he wanted to start investigating. Also, after reading, Enrique gave it to his friend, his friend read it, and he knew it was true too. Enrique's friend told him, "I think we are in the wrong church." haha. So, that was pretty cool. We are going to try to teach Enrique before English classes.
General Conference was so good! I wish I would have paid more attention to it before the mission... Before, it was like, "Yeah... General Conference is so cool...". But, now, it's more like, "YEAH!!!! I LOVE GENERAL CONFERENCE!!! I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT TIME!!! WOO!!! GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!" It really helps to take notes too. General Conference was so good! It was really different watching it in a chapel. There was not very many people there. (hopefully they were all watching it at home ;) ) It was mostly just us missionaries in our zone, and maybe four or five other people. General Conference was so good.
So, with the Post Office thing, we aren't allowed to give out our real addresses :( But, we should be getting mail once a week. Hopefully. That's what they told us yesterday. Plus, at transfer meetings (today) they give out a lot of mail too. So, I should be getting that package today!
Marking the Book of Mormon with different colors helps so much. Not only does it help investigators, but it helps ourselves too. The only thing I don't recommend is coloring EVERYTHING. Like, right now, I am in 3 Nephi with Christ. And, as you know, Christ is talking pretty much the entire time. And now, 3 Nephi is entirely blue. Almost. It has taken so long. Joseph Smith probably translated the Book of Mormon faster than I have colored it. Once I am done with my copy, I will send it home so you all can see it!
I did see Elder Archuleta! That was so cool! It would be so crazy to be his companion. Before I left the MTC, all the Elders in my zone were joking about how David Archuleta's companion was going to have a lot of girls around him all the time haha. It's really cool that he is in the MTC now! You will have to tell me where he's going when you find out. What langauge was his nametag in?
Amanda Peterson is going to Lubbock?! Is that where Kyler is? Is she English or Spanish?
You'll have to tell me when Spencer gets his call! Devon is about to turn in his papers too. So exciting! (they are all going Spanish speaking, I can feel it) ;)
I don't hear from anyone except family and a few friends :(
I haven't seen any place called Carmelitas around here... Or maybe I have, and I just don't know where! I will keep an eye out for it!
The weather here has been pretty normal lately. Thank goodness. But, now that I said that, it is going to change. I guarantee it. These past two weeks have been wonderful, but before that, it was like one day was sunny and warm, the next day was rainy and cold and the day after that was almost 90. And it switched like that for like, three weeks. It was crazy. But, better than Utah weather usually is!
And yeah. That's all.
Have a fantastic week!
Love, Elder Hunt
