On Saturday, we had a member (hermana Mosqueda) from Ramona (a city close to Escondido that used to be in our mission but was taken out and given to San Diego about a year and a half ago) call us. She told us that she had someone for us to teach! So, Saturday night, we went over. It was a family of 4: Fabrisio (dad, from Chile), Yolanda (mom, from Mexico), Denya (19) and Allen (13). They said they had been taught a little by missionaries before, about 6 months ago, in Escondido. Then they moved to San Marcos and lost contact. Hermana Mosqueda from Ramona met them about 4 months ago and started to become their friends. She said last week that she had a really strong impression to call them up to set up an appointment with the missionaries. Denya has some sort of cancer and hermana Mosqueda said she was thinking of Denya and that she needed to bring the missionaries over to teach the family. We taught them about faith and that through faith and doing the things God asks of us, we can be healed. At the end of the lesson, we gave her a blessing! it was sweet!!! The family is really cool. The mom is a little duro, but I could see them being baptized soon.
On Friday (the day before), we got another new investigator! His name is Elias and we talked to him about Wednesday or something. He seems pretty cool.
Yesterday we were knocking on one street and we ran into this guy named Raul. We were talking to him about eternal families and he got really interested in the power of sealing families together after death. He has a wife and a 3 year old daughter. He also told us he was looking for a church to go to because the one he goes to now isn't satisfying. So, we are going to introduce him to the BEST church!
That's really all that happened this week. It was kind of slow, but it's flying by!
So, with the caterpillar... It wasn't cooked, I don't think. I chewed it and it was dead. And it tasted disgusting. But, now I can say I have eaten a caterpillar! WOO! Like I ate menudo! WOO!
Elder Acaro is good companion. I have started to lose some Spanish because I speak so much English with him! haha. We get along pretty well. His area before was like, jam packed 100% Spanish people, and now that he has moved here, he thinks it's the same, but it's like jam packed 90% white people. So, that causes some conflict because he wants to do things like he did in his old area, but we work it out pretty good. I just figured this out the other day, but I am greenie busting! Crazy! Greenie busting Elder Nealy's brother! (because Elder Driaza trained Elder Nealy and Elder Acaro, so they are brothers) But, being with Elder Acaro is like teaching English classes all day! It's fun!
Only one new Spanish missionary came in, and Elder Driaza is training him! But, not for long because Elder Driaza goes home at the end of this transfer... I haven't met any of the English ones though. But that's okay, who needs English missionaries? ;)
I did receive all the packages! Thank you! I was going to send some pictures today, but I forgot my adapter thing... So, next week! Pinky promise!
Congrats to Maddy and her soccer team! The championship is super good! That's too bad they lost though :( Maybe next year!
I didn't send anything about the BYU game?! Maybe it was because I was so angry... haha jk, that's too bad they lost :( good thing they didn't play on Sunday though! ;) why did they lose to Boise State?!?! YAY Westlake!
Have a wonderful week! Love, Elder Hunt
P.S.
The weather here is still perfect and I can never go back to Utah.
