This week has been pretty sweet. We played an awesome prank on Elder Thompson that I will tell you about later. It was soooo funny! We taught some pretty sweet lessons too and found some new investigators. I also went on exchanges with Elder Nelson again! WOO!
So, we had a sweet lesson with Adriana. She didn't do her assignment of Alma 40, so we read it with her. She understands the things that the BOM talks about so well! We taught her a little of the Plan of Salvation and the happiness it brings. It was a good lesson. She has gone down to Mexico for 2 weeks to visit with some family, so we won't be able to see her :( but, we are going to call her and check up on her reading and stuff so that she doesn't forget about us! We can give a call to Mexico! It's going to be sweet! Their numbers there are long. Her's is 13 digits!
Also, remember Eric? He is a lot cooler than we ever thought. We had a lesson with him yesterday and WOW. We gave him the assignment to read just 1 Nephi 1, but he read the first five chapters! It was sweet. He is really looking for more happiness and wants to feel God is really there. He offered the opening prayer; it was short but he basically asked God to help him find more happiness and more meaning in life. We didn't invite him to be baptized, because we didn't feel like it was right yet, but he will definitely be baptized soon. His only concern is that all this church and reading and learning and stuff takes a lot of time, but once he realizes the happiness he finds from it all, the time won't matter. He is even going to bring a friend to church this Sunday! He's super cool.
We also set another date with Daniel. I am pretty sure I have told you about him. Elder Nelson and I taught him on Sunday and we just taught him again this morning. He has a hard time remembering things, but he likes it when we come over and likes the things we teach him, so that's good. His date is for the 20 of abril.
All the other investigators are doing well. Progressing little by little.
So, for the prank we pulled on Elder Thompson. Jajaja it was super funny... So, in our house, we have an attic. We decided on Monday night, before Elder Thompson came, to put the desks of the other Elders up in the attic, so they could study there. Then we thought "It would be super funny if Elder Thompson came, and the other Elders stayed up there until like, 10:20 and then finally came back down and went to sleep." He would have thought, "Man, where are the other Elders?! They are super late!" That would have been funny. But, we made it even better. We thought of having the other Elders sleep up in the attic the whole night and then leaving out the attic window to run while Elder Thompson and I ran a different route. So, then it seemed like the other Elders didn't return home until after we were done running. I hope this all makes sense. It was kind of mean but soooooooooo funny! So, that's what we did. Before Elder Thompson arrived, we moved the desks, the bedding and everything that the other Elders would need for the night up to the attic. So, Elder Thompson and I returned home for the night and planned. (Elder Thompson and I returned a little later so that the Elders could get up to the attic without us being there). We planned for the night, which took a lot longer because he was new to the area and I was explaining who everyone was to him. When we finished planning, it was about 10:15, so we hurried and got ready for bed. We were worried about the other Elders because they hadn't returned home yet. But, we thought we would try in the morning to see if they would return home during the night. When we woke up the next morning (a little later than usual so the other Elders could go out and run without us seeing them) they still weren't home, so we were like, "What did they do last night?!" Then we thought, "Oh, I bet they are out running. Let's go find them." So, we went out for a run and still couldn't find them. Then we returned home and Elder Farnsworth was sitting on the couch in his proselyting clothes. Then we were all freaking out, like "where were you?! What have you been doing?!" We pulled off the prank pretty well. We eventually told him everything was a prank, but it was super funny. And don't worry, but Elder Thompson doesn't hate us for it :)
Elder Thompson is really cool. He has taken a little adjusting, but he is a good missionary. We get along pretty well.
I did receive the package! But I received it yesterday, a day too late :( but, it was super sweet! Thanks so much! :) I haven't sent my pants in because I fixed them... Kind of. All I needed was a few safety pins :) jaja
No new news about the mission change. I would LOVE to go to the Irvine mission, but I don't think that will be possible... :( I think Elder Thompson is going to train this transfer or the next, so I won't be here for the change in July... I hope he trains the next one because I have to baptize Adriana and Eric! And I don't want another 2 transfer area :( it would be kind of cool though to say I had 3 different companions in a 2 transfer area! So, unless I get transferred to Mission Viejo somewhere (Elder Nealy is up there now! He switched spots with Elder Simmons (Elder Simmons is in Esco now)). So, maybe I can still go to Irvine! I hope so!
Well, I think that's it for this week. I hope you all have a fantastic week!
Love, Elder Hunt
