Hola Familia!!
What a week right! This week we ran around (like always) just going
everywhere. Me and my comp practically weren't even comps this week. We
were in interchanges or in divisions with members almost every day this
week. It has been a fun week though and pretty cool as far as the
weather goes too. Has it really snown there yet?
Well the best news of this week is that we got to see the baptism of
one of our investigators. Her name is Melissa and she is awesome. She
has been doing everything we have asked her to do and keeping all the
commitments. She is only 13, but she has now gone about 10 times to
church. We had a really good turn out to her baptism and even the bishop
came which is really amazing and he was super happy for the ward.
Everyone here is super excited for the big event this next weekend
which is that Elder Nelson is coming here. First I will get to see him Friday cause he is going to do a meeting with all the missionaries of El
Salvador. So that is going to be a blast, but the best will be on
sunday when he comes to my chapel. Everyone here is getting so ready.
They say that people will start waiting out at 5 in the morning just to
get seats. They expect more that 1,000 people to come to the chapel. It
will be a crazy and great event. Yesterday we went with all of the
Elders Qourum to hand out invitations to the conference to all the
Inactive members. This ward in the system has 600 members but only 140
are active. So all of the ward went out yesterday to visit all of the
other 460 people. It was super hard cause the directions here are super
super terrible. The houses are not in order at all so you will be
walking and it will say house 16,17,42,24,25C. Just random things like
that. IT was really hard.
This week was really sweet cause we had our interviews with President Cordon. He is such a smart guy and it was a great interviews. He is
super happy with me and Elder Hobbs. He says he really likes having us
together and that we are the example missionaries in the mission. It was
super awesome and I believe that me and Elder Hobbs will be together
for 6 months. I would be totally ok with that.
Other than that not much else. The area is pretty awesome and I am
having a lot of fun. Mom, just so you know if a guy named Mario Julio
Rivera tries to add you on facebook he isnt a creeper. He is a really
good friend and he has a video from our Christmas dinner he wants to
send to you. It is hilarious.
Also Gennie I did recieve your package and loved it. I thought I
already told you that and that I absolutely loved the photos. I am
savoring the candy I recieved from all of these pacakages. Except the
rice crispies from debbie. They are long gone haha.
Love you all and have a great week.
Elder Gillette
PS The elder I trained Elder Trump is going to train. WOW, that makes
me feel like I have been in the mission a LONG time haha. It is sweet
though.
Could I get Dano's address?
