Elder Oso is my new companion! Yay! He's awesome. He's from Washington. It's really nice getting a companion that you already know because then you don't have to go through the awkward phase of getting to know them... I like companions like that :) hopefully he is my last one. Elder Nealy and I were supposed to stay together until the end, but some problems happened in our ward between the Bishop and the missionaries and so they had to transfer most of the missionaries from our ward... But, everything has a purpose, so it's all good. Elder Nealy went down to San Juan, where he was born! He is with Elder Belbin. Oso = Bear. Osito = little bear
This week was really bad for us... We only taught two lessons the whole week... Even with our new area. But, we contacted a lot of people and have a ton of potential appointments, so that is good. And one of those two lessons was an amazing miracle!!!
at the end of June, we had received a call from some English missionaries telling us to go and give a guy a blessing in Spanish. The English missionaries had a lady in their ward that was from Peru (but she spoke English) and her husband had cancer (he doesn't speak English). So, they wanted us to go over there to the hospital and give him a blessing in Spanish. So, that's how we met them. After that, we would go by and visit them every so often to see how they were doing. This past week we have been trying to teach him because he wants to be baptized! Since he has cancer, he has very little time left. (like months, maybe less) A lot of the members in their ward and even the stake president have been wanting us to go over. So, we finally had a chance to teach him yesterday! Right when we walked in and sat down, the first thing he said to us was, "So, I want to be baptized in 2 weeks. You can come over these days" and a bunch of other stuff. We were shocked! He has studied with a ton of missionaries and knows everything is true. What held him back from being baptized is that he has worked on Sundays his whole life. But, now that he has cancer, he doesn't work and he has decided to be baptized! Yay! So, we taught him yesterday and we are going again on Thursday or Friday. He has kemo tomorrow, so he will be out for a few days. But, we are super excited and he has a lot of support to be baptized! So, we are going to have a baptism in 2 weeks!!! I hope that story makes sense.
I still cannot believe Jaxon is leaving tomorrow! He is going to be a missionary! There will be 3 Elder Hunt's out there! (probably more, but we are the 3 most important :) ) Is everyone excited? I am going to be able to speak Spanish with him! YAY!!! Tell him to read his email I sent him! It will be weird just Mom, Dad, Kelsey and Maddy in the house... It will be quiet! Maybe. Probably not jaja. Maddy is loud. ;)
How has the weather been down in Utah? These past 2 or 3 weeks have been sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
BYU and Texas :) YAY!
Well, I think that is all I have this week. I hope you have a wonderful week!
I love you!
Love, Elder Hunt
P.S. Buena suerte Jaxon! (A.K.A. Elder Hunt número 3)
