So... Bad news. Once again, Manuel was not confirmed... We called him the day before (Saturday) to see if he needed a ride and he said his wife was in the hospital. But, he said he had a friend that would probably take him. But, come Sunday morning, we tried to call him like, 5 or 6 times in the morning, but no answer :( so, he has still not been confirmed... It's kind of frustrating, but what can you do? But, the good things is that he wants to continue. We met with him yesterday, and he kept on saying things like, "Man, lots of things are going on right now, but I make myself strong and push through it.", "There's no point in being sad; I like to smile, it makes me feel good.". Manuel is pretty crazy, but he is such a good guy. So, next week!!!
Sunday was a frustrating day for two reasons: Manuel didn't come, and neither did Jennifer and her family... We had a baptism last Saturday and they even came to that! She also passed her entrevista! We called them and asked them why they didn't come, and the mom said they woke up at 9 (when church starts) and since they missed sacrament meeting, they didn't want to go at all. The mom is kind of an obstacle in this... Jennifer wants to go to church and to all the activites and stuff, but a lot of the time her mom doesn't... So, we are working on that too. Jennifer wasn't baptized this last Saturday, but we have a new date for this Saturday (the 4th), so she can be baptized then!
We still haven't found Guillermo... Isaac and his dad, we haven't taught them either since we found them... We found Jaime once, but he just arrived from driving and had another assignment to drive the next day, and since he is a truck driver, he has to have at least 8 hours sleep in order to function correctly. So, we didn't teach him :( and then a few days after that happened, we went to find Isaac, and we talked to the mom and she said he never had permission in order to call the phone number on the card... So, we are thinking that the mom isn't too fond of us. Which is sad. But, we are still trying to continue to find them! We finally got back in contact with Jesus. I think I told you about him. We have an appointment with him tomorrow, so hopefully that turns out. There's Antonio too, but he is on the verge of being dropped. He isn't progressing at all, and always cancels citas... We haven't taught him for about 3 weeks now... And, that's all the investigators we have!
August is almost here! This is the last week of the transfer. This transfer has felt a lot longer than all my other ones have. But, it has been a lot of fun. I have no idea what is going to happen... We will find out Saturday night!
The weather here has recently been pretty hot. Now, when I say hot, I mean like 85 degrees... That's super hot. California has converted me into a baby. Here, it gets cold around 65 degrees and hot around 80. Going back home to Utah next November WILL NOT BE FUN.
Summer vacation went by fast! I cannot believe Jaxon is going to be a Senior... Tell him to email me! He doesn't have anything better to do! Maddy is going to Junior High! She's too little! I cannot believe it has been almost 9 months... Wow, time flies by! And everyone is going on their mission now! That is so cool. Brandon Barton received his mission call a little while ago. Or so I hear. Nobody will tell me where he is going! I ask and ask and everyone just ignores that question! :( All my friends are still doing their Vivint stuff. So, they are good!
So, yeah. That's my week! I am glad to hear that your week went well too! I hope you have another wonderful week!
Love, Elder Hunt
