So, cool miracles this week: We finally had a lesson with Angel Reyes!!! We were going to check up on all our investigators and potenciales on Tuesday night after P-Day, and we finally found Angel in house! And his family was there too! We were just going to set up a return appointment, because he said he was off to football practice. So, we set up the appointment, and asked him if there was anything we could do for him before we left. He asked us if we could say a prayer with him so that him and his family would be well. So, of course we had to teach him about how prayer really is! Soon enough, all of his family was there too! His mom, his sister and two of his brothers. His two brothers are "Catholic" (just anti other churches) so they didn't have any interest in what we were teaching. But, his mom and sister were really interested! Then, after we explained prayer, they had a bunch of other questions, so we got into deeper doctrine like Plan of Salvation, why there are so many churches and stuff. it was sweet! Sadly, we haven't seen Angel since then, because he is always practicing... But, we have taught his mom and sister a few times and they are really interested!
Something else that was cool that happened was that I finished my journal!!! YAY! I have written in my journal every single say since November 9, 2011 and I finally finished the first one! Now I started on the next one! YAY!
This past week we have spent a lot of time trying to find places where there are a lot of Spanish people. I would not be joking when I say that this area that I am in is 80% or more white people. We found a street the other day that we thought for sure was Spanish, but it turned out to be Chinese/Vietnamese/Japanese! It was crazy! There are lots of signs that you can tell a house is Spanish, so we are looking long and hard for those.
On Saturday, I had exchanges with Elder Gneiting! It was awesome. We had some meetings and service during the day, but the night was full of lessons. It's strange that on his side of San Marcos, there are TONS of Spanish, but on this side there are very few... It's weird how that works. But, we had some pretty sweet lessons. A big problem that I have seen in this area is that a lot of people don't understand priesthood keys. Like, the mom of the girl that we gave a blessing too, she told us that she could have done that too, all she needed was her Bibla and say a little prayer. She didn't really understand that with the priesthood is how the ordinance was performed. Lots of people are telling us, "I have already been baptized. Why do I need to do it again?" I am so glad to have the knowledge already of this Gospel! I cannot even imagine life without it... How do people live?!?!
GENERAL CONFERENCE IS NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell me more about Grandpa and Grandma's new mission! That's cool they will be so close! Will they live at home or over there?
That's cool Addison is going to Madagascar! Maybe Josh will train him! that would be cool! I am so glad I am speaking Spanish. There are lots of countries I could visit that speak Spanish, plus there are TONS of people in the U.S. that speak it and I can use it whenever I want! Plus, Spanish is easy to learn! One of the easiest languages!
For the Strength of Youth pamphlet is SO good. It isn't just for youth, but for everyone! Did you read the new one they released just barely or the old one? The new one is super good. I still have my wallet sized one from Bishop Morgan :)
jajajajajajaja, that is so funny about Angel and Braxton! jaja I remember that well!
I went on Heritage Tours in July, not June! I remember because all my friends went and watched Inception without me because I was in New York. I haven't seen any slideshow from that, so you will have to find a way to keep it so I can see it in a year. I have been out almost a year! OMJ! It's already October!!! Time goes by too quickly!!!
Yay BYU won and Westlake won!
I hope you have a super fantastic week!
Love, Elder Hunt
P.S. If you think the weather in Utah is nice and want it to be like that year round, move to Cali :) I know I will!
Or maybe I will just stay here
Playing with the camera :)
