Also, as you know, Elder Gneiting is our new companion! We still have no clue as to why he is with us. We received a call from the Assistants on Saturday and they told us to be at our house soon to receive a new companion, Elder Gneiting! It's strange being in a threesome. It's difficult to transition sometimes and sometimes someone just gets left out. But, we are working on it. It will probably only be for one week (transfers are next week). Usually I would leave because I have more time in this area, but the zone leaders told Elder Thompson that he might be moving to English work this next transfer. So... I don't know what's going to happen! I might stay, he might stay or maybe we will both go! I think it would be really awesome to stay though. I love this area!
This week has been pretty slow. On Wednesday we were able to teach Haley and get to know her and her grandma better. Haley's dad lives with his mom because he split up with his ex-wife. So, we got to know them a little bit more. They are a cool family.
Do you remember Arturo? The one with his son in jail? The one whom we only teach like once every two or three weeks? We taught him two times this week!!! Two times! It's a miracle! We taught him on Friday and then again on Saturday. He is super cool. He has a goal to go to the temple! He only has two main problems. He works A TON and goes until really late and the only day he can see his son is on Sunday at 9. So. he can't come to church :( well, he can, but then he wouldn't be able to see his son... It's a crazy situation. I think his son is released in 6 months or a year. Around there. I'm not sure. But, Arturo is super cool. We had made a batch of cookies (I am Mr. Mom around here again jaja) and made some regular cookies and ones with TONS of salt in them. Then we told him that life is like a cookie. If we have too much of one ingredient, the cookies tastes bad, even though it looks okay on the outside. He really like the object lesson and said he was going to talk to his boss about more time for other things. Arturo needs time, but he will for sure be baptized.
We had another cool contact the other week too. We were out in Dana on Saturday walking around. We talked to this one guy named Jeff the week before and we found him again this week working out in his yard again. He is a super nice guy and always offers us water and stuff. His wife was outside working with him too and it turns out she is a member! Inactive, but still a member! She was baptized at 14 or something, but went inactive after her boyfriend left on a mission. Something like that. Anyways, we were talking to them both and she said she had been wanting to come back to church! And her husband was all for it too. So, it's a shame we can't teach them, but we are on the same team! So, we referred them to the English missionaries. Hopefully it goes somewhere.
We taught Daniel on Sunday! His wife's mom is now in the hospital... The life of his wife must be crazy right now. They are in Vegas, so we have not been able to teach her yet... Hopefully soon though! We set another date for the 8 de junio. I think this time he will actually be baptized! I think this is the 4th or 5th date he has had since he started learning... In October.
Other investigators. Adriana. We were going to have a lesson with her on Friday, but it was Mexican Mother's Day... Mother's Day in Mexico is always the 10th of May, no matter what. So, we couldn't teach her :( we were going to teach her yesterday too, but she had problems with her car :( so, not yesterday either. Hopefully on this Thursday we can teach her.
Familia Berdeja. Haven't taught them in over a month :(
Pablo. Cancelled our lessons we had. Another lesson set for Thursday. I think we might drop him because he isn't progressing and doesn't seem to want to progress... :(
Gustavo. FINALLY got a hold of him. We haven't taught/talked/seen him for like, 3 weeks. But, we just called him today and set an appointment for tomorrow!
We have found some SWEET potenciales this week and so hopefully next week we will have some new investigators to talk to you about!
FaceTime was super sweet. Last call home I will make as a missionary... We were thinking about making cookies for the family that let us call. Not ones with sal though jajajaja
When are you going on Trek?! Who's going? Where are you going?
Kelsey is old! I can't believe all the '05 kids are going to be baptized soon! They are so old! Time is going by really fast... I am going to miss almost all of them :(
well, I think that is it for this week. Next week I PROMISE pictures! Pinky promise x2!
I love you all!
Have a wonderful week!
Love, Elder Hunt
