So, the bad news... English classes last week were a failure :( nobody showed up :( but, tonight, we are going to try again! We had a few people call this yesterday and a few more members have showed some interest too. Fingers crossed!
So, this week, we had a really good lesson with Antonio. He prayed for the first time! It was so cool. He seemed like he was really talking TO God, not at God. Sometimes, I feel like there are a lot of times when we pray, that we just talk AT God. I read somewhere that one of the prophets said that we treat prayer sometimes like a fast food order. We just ask for the things we want and then it's done. But, what we really need to do is talk TO God. I have found a bunch of cool talks from Apostles about prayer and it has really opened my eyes about how sacred and special prayer is. God has given us prayer so that we can ask for help to not only address our needs, but the needs of others as well. I will have to send you some of the talks I found. They are super good.
We also had a really good lesson with a less active family about priorities. This family hasn't been to church in such a long time that the Dad doesn't even remember what priesthood he has... We showed him (http://mormon.org/william/) (http://www.lds.org/pages/
The weather here is lousy. Sundays are always nice and sunny, but every single other day is cloudy in the morning, then super hot during the day, then really cold at night. I am never going to live in Vista.
Thanks for the packages! They were so AWESOME!!! I loved everything you sent me! The GPS is a really nice one too. I use it every where we go! (even if I know how to arrive to where we are going) It's fun! Elder Anderson really likes it too. He's the one that is able to play around with it while we are in the car.
Summer vacation just started here. There are some schools that got out 3 weeks ago, some schools got out last week and there are still some schools that are in session! You would think that since summer started, there would be more people outside... Opposite. It's pretty dead when we walk outside. And it's hard to contact people when nobody is walking outside, obviously.
My Book of Mormon Spanish reading is going really good! If you thought Isaiah chapters were hard in English, read them in Spanish. They are a lot more difficult! I just finished 1 Nefi yesterday, but haven't started on 2 Nefi yet. I love Spanish! I am so glad I was called into Spanish work! Life just wouldn't be the same without Spanish!
I am glad you received my package! I was becoming really worried that Elder Josse didn't send it.
That's it for me! This is Elder Anderson's last week as a missionary, so we are going to work HARD!
Have a fantastic week!
Love, Elder Hunt
