Wow, I can't believe that it is p-day again! Mission time is so confusing and so fast!
Our
week was really busy. We had a lot of mission meetings that filled a
lot of our time. When were weren't doing that, we were with
investigators, members, or knocking on doors. We were so blessed this
week, and found 4 new people to start teaching! Miracles are happening
out here every single day!
Our ward has an
English class program that we the missionaries teach (I don't know how
great of an idea it is to have me teaching it because I can barely speak
proper English myself and I have a really gnarly Utah accent to add
onto that). When I first got the the area, we would have one person show
up if it was a good week, but soon nobody at all came! Medeiros and I
decided to paint the town with posters, inviting people to come! As a
result, we had someone show up again! It was great. Even if I am not the
greatest teacher of English, I love doing it because I love watching
people grow and succeed. It is a happy experience!
On
Tuesday, it was little Chino's 6th birthday! I love him and I love his
family SO MUCH. We went and celebrated his birthday with him on Tuesday
and on Sunday. My favorite thing in the entire world is the tradition
that Hispanics have on birthdays. The person who is celebrating their
birthday gets to take a bite of the cake before anybody else. Everyone
starts yelling and chanting together and then while the person goes in
for a bite, they get there face pushed into it. It adds so much
excitement into birthday celebrations!
I love
Oakcrest and I love the people here more than words can describe. I am
SO blessed to be here and I can't wait to see what this week brings!
Much love,
