Hola Familia!
Well, how is everyone doing over on that neck of the
woods. I hear you all finally have snow. That is pretty sweet. here it
has gotten pretty cold. The other day I got so cold in the night that I
had to actually cover myself with my bedsheet that I have haha. I think
my version of cold has changed in these past couple months. My comp has
been sick lately also from this weather. He has been throwing up and
stuff. It is interesting here cause before my mission I had all of the
stomach problems and stuff, but I dont think I have had stomach problems
in over 6 months. It has been really sweet. My comp though is bad. Last
night we were laying in our beds talking and all of the sudden he
grabbed a cup and slammed it down. I was super confused, but then I
looked in the cup and he captured a scorpian, it was pretty big too.
Thats a little taste of El Salvador for you all.
The work here has been pretty awesome. This week we had like a
billion meetings. We had a couple with President cordon and a ton with
the stake. I feel lucky cause this 22nd of January Elder Russel M.
Nelson is going to come to my chapel where I am serving and we are going
to have a stake conference. Everyone here is getting super excited
cause most people here have never seen an apostle before. Even most of
the leaders. Like this is the first time and apostle has come to this
building. I feel super blessed to be here at this time. It is fun
getting everything ready and being able to work with all these great
members. We have a ton of great stuff planned for these next two weeks
to get us ready.
This week in one of the meetings I went to we watched a talk from
Bruce R. Mcconkie about the Atonement. It was one of the best talks I
have ever heard in my whole life. It was April 6th that he gave it, but
the year I don't exactly remember. It was like 1993 or something like
that. It was his last general conference talk he gave. He is so sincere
and the spirit with which he talks is so powerful. You should all look
it up.
We have a girl right now, Melissa, who is doing super great. She is
super intelligent and reads everything we give her. She is getting
ready to be baptized this next sunday. There is another boy, Jonathan,
who will be probably getting baptized too that day. I thought it would
be sweet to baptize a kid named Jonathan haha. He is a sweet kid.
I really can't think of what else we did this week. OH, i recieved the
package from Jonathan this week. THANKS SO MUCH BRO. The socks you gave
me are sweet. I gave a pair to my comp that day and the whole day all
we could talk about were how confy those socks are. They really are
awesome. Thanks.
My recents converts, the Hasbun Family, had a big party this week and
invited a whole bunch of members to there house to eat pupusas to
celebrate there marriage and stuff. That was a lot of fun. I am not
going to lie I have gotten really good at making pupusas and so I made
them for all of the people there and they were super surprised.
I gotta go though, but I love you all and have a great week!
