This week was kind of a slow week. It has been really hot outside and so there have not been many people outside... And when there is nobody outside, it becomes a lot more difficult to do work. But! We set a new baptismal date this week! It was with Carlos Leon. I think I told you about him... He lives with a recent convert. So, we taught him the Restoration and he really liked it! He remembers a lot of what we taught him too. He says he wants more happiness in his life and the lives of his family. So, we told him that he could find it through the gospel and being baptized! We set it for the 14 of September. We are super excited!
We have not been able to find or get in contact with Carmen at all these past few weeks :( We keep trying, but we have not had any luck yet :( Hopefully everything is okay with her!
We had Zone Conference on Wednesday! President Orgill is soooooooooooo much different than President Cook. He has so much more energy! As a mission, we are trying to start a new way of teaching. The First Presidency and the 12 Apostles have done a lot of research and they have said that we should start teaching 15-20 minute lessons instead of the hour lessons. They say that the Spirit is more strong and people will be more willing to allow us in. It's a pretty cool idea. It's a little more difficult to apply in Spanish work because Hispanics talk sooooooooooo much... But, we have done it a few times and it has turned out really well! It's pretty cool.
Not much else has happened this week... It was kind of slow, but we had a lot of good moments.
Some super cool news. This Saturday, our ward is having a temple trip to the Los Angeles temple. They do it every year. They bring members to do sessions and investigators to learn more about temples and about the church. Bishop wanted us to come to help out with everything. We told him he needed to call President Orgill to ask for permission. We all thought that there was no way President Orgill would give us permission... But, he did! On Saturday, we are going to the LA temple! It's going to be super exciting. I am super excited!
School has already started?! Wow! School doesn't start here for another 2 weeks.
Jaja I never iron my shirts... I think I did it once. Maybe. As long as you hang them up right after you get them out of the dryer, it's okay! But, he should still learn how to iron. It's a good skill :) he doesn't have much time left! He's going to be leaving pretty soon!
Yeah, when I come home we can copy the CDs. I have two. I don't know all the songs on there, but we listened to them all on HT. I would copy them here, but there is no way to copy any CDs or anything in the library :(
Time goes by really quickly! Today is 100 days. Tomorrow is 99! Time flies by!
I hope you have a wonderful week!
I love you!
Love, Elder Hunt
