First of all, Wild Animal Park... SO. DANG. AWESOME. Let's all go! I will be living in Cali for the rest of my life, so you can come and visit me and we can all go to the Wild Animal Park! My camera was dying and I forgot to charge the other battery, so I couldn't zoom in on my camera, and I missed the pictures of like 1 hour of fun... But! It was sweet.
We also taught Maria Parra on Tuesday night! We have taught her a lot this past week. We have been really pushing for a date, but something has happened and she just seems pushed off by a date... Or so we thought! We had a SWEET lesson with her yesterday! We kind of have a super soft date with her for the 20th of enero, and we were thinking, "If she really would be baptized that day, she would need an interview." So, last night, we set up an interview with her with Elder Gneiting! She is totally going to be baptized this weekend. We have a super awesome lesson all planned out to just drop a spirit bomb on her and she won't be able to say no! She will be like, "Just baptize me now! I cannot wait any longer!" I am excited.
We also have this menos activa lady in our area. I think I remember talking to your about her. Her name is Guadalupe Case. With Elder Lewis and Elder Acaro, we had been trying so much to find her but then never could. But, like the second week with Elder Jensen, we finally found her! She has a son too, living with her, that is inactive. But, he has been saying he really wants to return to church. We went over there one night last week and saw them both. Her son (his name is Alfredo) said he had been thinking about inviting us over one night to do a noche de hogar! It was a miracle! He has been returning pretty strong. But, he goes to the single adult ward, and not our ward :( but, he is still pretty awesome! his girlfriend isn't a member either, so that makes it even better! He said him and his girlfriend started to study the Book of Mormon together in their FREE TIME. OMJ. MILAGRO. So, we had a sweet noche de hogar with them last night and Guadalupe. We were going to go over again this morning, but we had a few complications that I will explain later. But, we are going over tonight! WOO!
We also found a cool new investigator. His name is Armando. he is from Guatemala and speaks Popti, a dialect! It's sweet. He taught us how to say some pretty cool stuff. He hasn't ever been really religious in his life, but his "woman" is and doesn't like us very much. We found him knocking doors and his wife was out of town, so he let us in. He had lots of sweet questions and we think he has got lots of potential.
Today has been a pretty awesome day today too. Guess what time we woke up at? 4:30! Hooray! (not) We had plans to go to Denny's as a district to start off the day. We still had to do our exercise at the beginning of the day, so we had to wake up earlier. We were going to go at 6, so we could have time to eat and not be rushed and then be able to start of our studies on time too. But, some Elder in our district *cough*ElderBelbin*cough* doesn't like to get up on time! So, we ended up going to Denny's at like, 7. But, it was sweet! We received some awesome coupons in the mail like a month ago, which is why we went to Denny's :) Then... backtrack. Like a week ago we had a guy call us and tell us that he was going to do an oil change on our car. So, he came this morning. This is the first time I have ever heard of someone doing a mobile oil change, so I was kind of sketchy. So, we gave him the keys and went back into our apartment. He said he was going to take like, 25-30 minutes. So, we went inside and did some stuff and came back out and our car was GONE. I was like, "OMJ, did he just steal our car?!?!!" It was scary. But, then he came back like 10 minutes later and told us he took it to the street because he wasn't allowed to do it in the parking lot of the complex or something. I hope that story makes sense. It was pretty funny.
So, we won't know until Saturday night, but it's like 100% I am being transferred. I have been in San Marcos for just about six months now! I think I am going back up north to San Clemente (with Elder Hansen!!!) but, I am not sure! It will be a big surprise!
Guess how cold it was this morning? 31 degrees!!! It was below freezing! We were soooooooooooooooooooooooo cold... I hate cold :( Good thing I am staying here! We talked to someone on Saturday night that said it was going to snow sometime this week in Escondido. The first time in 70 years! Crazy! I believe it too! It's so cold!
Tell James I said hi!
I am glad you like the sweater! It's sweet. Funny story. The week before I bought my sweater, Elder Jensen bought one for him, but his is just all black. Then the next week I had bought mine. Then that Saturday night, we had a ward activity and so all the missionaries went. Turns out that Elder Gneiting and Elder Belbin had both bought sweaters too! Elder Belbin bought one like Elder Jensen and Elder Gneiting bought one like me (but red). It was funny
Well, that's all for this week!
Have a good week!
Love, Elder Hunt
P.S. WILD ANIMALS!
