Hola Familia,
Wow, I can't believe how fast time really is flying
by. We are already ending another transfer. I will be staying here with
Elder Hobbs again. We will both be here for christmas which is like the
biggest blessing ever. We were praying that we could stay together.
Although we have our upsets every once in a while. I feel like I am
serving with one of my best friends. So it will be another fun change.
What is crazy to me is that I will be starting my tenth transfer. Sounds
like so many especially because there are only 16 in the mission. Time
really does fly by.
This week was a lot of fun. We have started really finding some great
and ready people. Just families keep on popping up for us to teach and
it has been such a blessing. This week we have been teaching this lady
named Angela and she took the lessons like a year and a half ago and
something happened and she never wanted to go to church again. We
started teaching her and we taught a great lesson about the Book of
Mormon and really how it blesses our lives and she said she would start
reading it every night. She did that for 2 weeks and finally said that
she would come to church and it totally surprised us. Yesterday she went
to church with us and it was really awesome. All the members were so
awesome and they all said hi to her. She really liked it and said she
will go next week.
I really can't remember what else we did this week. We started going
to another part of our area that is super far away. We talked to a
family and the dad was super positive. Then we asked how many kids he had
and he had 13. I was super surprised. The best part is that one of his
kids is named "Botella" which means "Bottle". There's a new baby name for
Joff haha.
So really not much happened this week I feel. We just worked and had a
lot of fun, but nothing super out of the ordinary. I can´t believe this
week is thanksgiving. We are going to do something as a mission, but
here in El Salvador they know of this holiday, but they do not celebrate
it.
Oh and mom, there is this lady who wants to cook american food. So
she asked me what I really miss from home and I told her French dip. She
said if you send me the recipe she will make it for me. That would be
so amazing if you could send me that recipe. I am dying for some great
french dip. It is funny though to think about all the random food I
don´t get to eat anymore. Here there are no tacos, burritos, or nachos.
There is like pizza hut and burger huts, but it is not nearly as good as
the states though. They do have pupusas though. haha.
Well that is just about all I got to write this week. I love you all
and I didn´t get to hear this recording you sent me, but I will after I
write this. I love you all and have a grea week and enjoy the snow for
me!
