So, we went to the templo today. (pictures coming) It was sweet. The San Diego temple is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
So, I forgot my journal at home because we went straight to the library after the temple, but I have kept a pretty detailed agenda this transfer, so I can tell you what happened.
Tuesday: P-Day! Then we had a lesson with los Mendez. They gave us dinner and oh man, it was soooo good. I want to marry a Mexican so that I can have Mexican ALL THE TIME. Or maybe I could just learn :) we didn't really get anywhere in their progression. :( Lalo was out with his friends, and so we just taught Roselio, but he is pretty set in his ways right now, so there is not much progression with him... Hopefully one day though!
Wednesday: New investigadora! Her name is Maria Parra. She is an antiguo. We had talked to her a lot of times, but finally had a sit down lesson with her. She's super awesome and seems really prepared. We are going to go and teach her this Friday! Can you say BAPTISM?
We had a mission wide conference on Friday. Since our mission is so small, all the missionaries gathered up and Elder Schwitzer (?) from the 2nd quorum of the Seventy came and talked to us. IT WAS SWEET. We did a few practices on how to improve our work and Elder Schwitzer taught us some pretty cool doctrine on how to improve ourselves too. It was a lot of fun! And since it was mission wide, we were able to see all the missionaries! All my missionary friends! YAY!
We also had some pretty cool miracles this week. We had a ward activity this week on Saturday for Thanksgiving. We tried inviting invesitgadores and menos activos so that we could get a huge turn out. We invited this one member, Guadalupe. Since I arrived in the area, we have tried like 2 or 3 times every 2 weeks to pass by. We taught her one time like 2 weeks ago, but before and after that, nothing... But! She and her husband (non-member) came to the ward party!!! And there was a baptism before that and they came to that too! WOO! It was awesome.
We also ran into this one guy named Flavio. He is super awesome. We asked him a bunch of questions of the soul like, "Where were you before this life?", "Where are we going after death?", "What is the purpose of this life?". He seemed really interested, but then told us that his friend is a testigo and gave him a book about those questions too... But, we didn't give up! There is a section in PMG about las preguntas del alma and there is like, 10 or so questions. So, we wrote them all down in a LDM and gave it to him and told him that this book is way better than any book the testigos could ever give you. He was really hesitant to take it (I don't know why), but he finally did. He is a super prepared man, we just need to attack him with the TRUTH!
Oh yeah, Elder Gneiting and I had exchanges Sunday and yesterday :) It's fun training, but it was nice to have an experienced missionary as a companion for a change.
Don't worry about a Thanksgiving package :) I already have tons of cool stuff from you! :)
So, pretty much everyone here calls me Elder Cazador (Hunter). It's pretty dang cool.
That's cool Maddy got glasses! I looked at the picture and she looks like a little miny Kelsey with glasses! jajajaja
Elder Hilton was the artist for the English class two weeks ago. I really liked doing it that way instead of the usual way I do it. Maybe this week I will have to draw some more pictures to go along with the words!
The weather this week has been perfect! Like usual. It gets kind of cold during the night, like 60s, but other than that, I love it! I don't ever want to go back to Utah :( It's November 20 today and there is no snow! It's basically like heaven here.
Elder Jensen is still super awesome. His Spanish needs some work, but he has made TONS of improvement in the past 4 weeks (or however long it has been)
Thanks for the BYU scores! however, it is a huge disappointment that they lost... Oh well. Next game!
I hope you have a wonderful week! LOVE YOU.
Elder Hunt :)
