FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!
Christmas was sweet.
The best part was that I was able to talk to you! WOO! On Skype! It was awesome seeing everyone again. I cannot believe it has been almost 14 months without seeing you! It was awesome.
Nothing really happened this week that I haven't already told you... We had a few lessons with Maria Parra and wow. Elder Gneiting went on exchanges with Elder Jensen on Friday and they finally found out her problem. This is pretty personal, so it would be best if you didn't forward this part on. She has had a crazy life. She was forced into an arranged marriage at age 14 down in Mexico. She has no feelings whatsoever towards her husband now. They even sleep in different bedrooms in their house. Plus, she is in love with another man and has been for the past 15 years. But, thankfully, she hasn't acted on any of the feelings she has had for this man. She wants to leave her husband because she doesn't love him, but she also feels obligated to him because of all the things he has provided for her for the past 30+ years. It's a pretty crazy situation and we have no idea what to do... We talked to President Cook about it and he said that talking to the obispo would be best. So, that's the update on Maria!
The other investigators are good. They are never home for the citas that we set, nor do they answer their phones... But, we keep on trying and trying! We have found some pretty cool people the last few days that we want to try and start to teach, but as of now, no new investigators last week.
Exchanges with Elder Belbin were pretty sweet too. I went to his area and we had a few lessons with some of the recent conversos.
Saturday was sweet too! We had a big breakfast planned out. All the missionaries cooked breakfast burritos for the ward and then we shared a cool Gospel message after. The plan was to have a bunch of members invite investigators and friends and stuff, but there wasn't much of that... But, it was a lot of fun!
Monday we had a super cool Christmas conference. I am kind of sad that my final Christmas in the mission has passed... I would like another Christmas in the field! Christmas in the MTC was an awesome experience and so was the one in the field. I am glad I had one of both! Monday and yesterday night we just sang to some members in the ward and some investigators. It was a lot of fun!
I think that is it for this week!
Talk to you next week on Wednesday!
FELIZ NAVIDAD (ayer)
Love, Elder Hunt
