Yesterday it became official! We became Irvine missionaries! Woo! I am pretty excited. Not many people can say they served in two different missions. Plus, we are part of a brand new mission! This mission is only 2 days old! We haven't met President Orgill yet, but Thursday we have a big mission conference with him and the mission. Should be pretty exciting! Our mission wide meeting was really good and really sad... Even though I hardly ever saw the other missionaries (just at transfer meetings and zone conferences SOMETIMES), it was sad to say goodbye... But, I am pretty much dead anyways, so they wouldn't ever see me anyways jajaja. President Cook and Sister Cook are no longer President and Sister Cook... They went home yesterday! It was a sad meeting, but a lot of fun. Lots of good friendships made. I will miss Carlsbad, but I am super excited to be here in Irvine!
So, we were right about Elder Robles. He just moved over to Rancho with Elder Schreiber. It's cool we are still able to see him. He was a fun companion. Taught us lots of Spanish pick up lines :) jajaja
This week was pretty good. WE FINALLY TAUGHT ENGLISH CLASS!!! Last Thursday! Ever since I arrived, nobody has shown up... But someone finally showed up! it was super cool.
The investigators are doing well too. Mario actually dropped us last week... He sent us a message saying he didn't want to learn anymore :( he really liked the message we taught him and really likes the Book of Mormon, but doesn't want any commitments :( he will definitely be baptized in the future though. He was a lot like Eric from Dana, if you remember anything about him. Cool kids.
We gave Chris to the YSA Elders... Chris just turned 21 like a week before I did, and so Elder Nealy and I thought it would be better that he go to that ward to have more fellowshippers. But, it's okay because Chris will definitely be baptized! We are all on the same team!
We found some cool new people the other day on Sunday. We had contacted into this lady named Blanca and we went by to see her Sunday night. We taught her and her husband! When we shared the First Vision with them, her mind was blown away! She felt so good after hearing it! He was iffy... But, then we talked about the Book of Mormon and he was super excited to read it! They are a cool family. They have a 11, 3 and 1 years old. Their names are Blanca and Alan.
That's too bad that Jaxon is sick :( hopefully he gets better soon! Time for mission stuff! That's so exciting! I can't think of anything that I needed at the beginning of the mission that wasn't in the call packet... Everything that they say there is sufficient. Maybe when I go home, I can send him my Spanish-English translator... Don't tell him though; it has to be a surprise! :)
The missionary broadcast was super cool! They are slowly inputting things like Facebook and tablets in the missions. Probably after I die though... But, that's okay :)
I am still with Elder Nealy! We are probably going to die together. Since we are going home the 17 of October (most likely, still not sure) we have made plans to come back and visit the mission when Elder Simmons dies, 3 weeks later. So, don't make plans that week :) We are going to come back a visit people! Yay!
It has been super hot here recently too... It feels good, but not as a missionary when you have to be outside all day and with long pants... But, it's okay! I like the heat
The truck is still broken?! Oh man! I am fine with driving the truck or the Saturn. But, as for dates... JAJAJAJAJA
Thanks for the birthday package! I love the pens! I haven't worn the watch yet, because I have to resize it, but it's sweet too! I love watches!
Well, that's it for this week. You are all so awesome and I love you!
Have a super week!
Love, Elder Hunt
