I LOVED CONFERENCE. Conference is really just a holiday for missionaries. What's better than hearing men called by God speak to us? NOTHING. The announcement of missionary ages was CRAZY! The amount of missionaries is going to improve very rapidly. I have already heard lots of stories about young men here and brothers of missionaries already talking to their bishops in order for them to go on a mission. What is Jaxon going to do?! What was your favorite talk in Conference? Did the one by Elder Holland sound familiar? ;) It must be super important if he did it twice!
This week was filled with a lot of meetings and planning, so we weren't out very much :( We have had a few lessons with los Reyes this week and they have gone pretty good. Rosa (the daughter) has been praying at the end of the lessons and it has been sweet! Usually with investigators, their prayers are really short. But, with Rosa, she has super long prayers! It's really cool to see her have this desire to pray. She told us she has had lots of answers to prayers, but she has been praying to Maria Guadalupe... BAD. So, we taught her that she needs to pray to God, not the virgin Maria. Catholic people are crazy.
We had a cool little miracle after Conference on Saturday. I was on exchanges with Elder Hansen (which was weird because all we did was watch conference together, but we have another exchange next week, so it's all good) and we went to go and remind los Reyes of conference the next day. We had nothing to do that night (because all the Spanish people go to bed really early because they wake up really early) and so we were praying for something to do after reminding los Reyes about conference. So, when we were about to leave the complex of los Reyes, this guy comes up and talks to us and asks us a lot of questions (he was a basher). So, we talked to him the whole time and went home! We even gave him a Book of Mormon to answer his questions that he was asking us. it was sweet.
We had interviews with President Cook yesterday too. they were cool. He gave me some tips on Spanish so that I can improve even better. It was a good intervew. And at the zone training meeting (we have one every month to train us on things we can do better) we learned a lot of cool things about planning and helping investigators progress. Since the mission is really new and will keep becoming newer, President wanted us to practice the basic basic stuff in order to help all the newbies. It was fun.
That was really all my week. CONFERENCE WAS SWEET.
Jaxon is 18?! OMJ! OLDIE! When is HT?
These past 11 months have gone by so quickly... It's scary! WHY?!?!?!
My health has been good. I probably told you, but Sister Cook requires that we run every morning and that really helps out a lot with the health. She has said that the average health cost for missionaries in this mission is like, 3 dollars a month and in other missions that it's like, 50! Wow! I still have a car (thank goodness!) I would hate to have a bike or walk in this area... There's like, no Spanish close to us :( We are super lucky to have a car!
Members here are great! We eat with members every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, sometimes Friday and sometimes Sunday. And the food I have eaten here is definitely the best I have had the whole mission!
Well, I hope you have a wonderful week!
Love, Elder Hunt
P.S. If you need help, "Ask the missionaries. They can help you!"
