Hey Everyone!
Well another week down! Seems like just yesterday that I was here
writing you guys! Time is flying here! Were already in the last couple
weeks of October! Where has this year gone?? It was overall another
pretty good week! Really hot and a lot of walking! haha.. We have worked
so hard the past couple of weeks! We have been able to contact a ton of
new investigators and have found a bunch more less active families to
start teaching too! So the last Monday after got done writing we went
to this store called Big City. So its basically a Costco with a
different name! And it is packed with anything american that you could
ever want!! It was the best!! I found skippy peanut butter haha... and I
even found toaster strudles!!! Best day ever! Then we went and had a
family night with a family that are recent converts of about 4
months! They are such a good family! Family Figaroa. We sat and talked
with them abouth the
importance of having your family night and being together with your
family and being able to leave everything else behind! It went really
well! They are a super excited family and love to tell stories and share
experiences and things!
We have still be visiting Hermana Yarelli, The little girl that we
are going to be baptizing this week and we have been working on
reactivating her family! It has been going really good with all of them!
They all came to church this past week! The little girl is super
excited about her baptism and haha is such a good influence for her mom
and her whole family! Shes the reason why they all came to church that
day! Later that day I got a call from a sister in our ward asking me
if I could come and help her with her english homework that she had!
haha ...We had an appointment in that area so me and my companion went
and helped her out! Pretty funny! She had to read from a magazine and
translate it to a piece of paper! So I sat there fixing her
translations!
For the past couple of weeks we have been working with a guy
called Felix. He is a Grandpa of a girl in our ward. He has been kind of
hard to teach! haha ..All he wants to talk about is work and things
like that! We have been helping him fix his lawn mower that he has.
haha.. Lucky for him Ive been around those for a while and kind of have
an idea of what to do! We have taught him lesson number 1 like 50 times!
I just think he is too old to really understand all this stuff! But he
loves to listen to us he says!
We have also been working with another recent convert, Marbella.
She is 24 and just got baptized like a month ago! But she has a
boyfriend that is not a member of the church! But he has been coming
with here to church for the past little while! He is super interested
in the church and wants to learn more before we do anything with him! So
this past weekend they got married!! The ward threw them a huge party
in the church for their wedding! haha... It was so fun! My first
marriage as a Missionary!!! So we got them married now! He is ready for
baptism! We just have to convince him that!!
Everything here is going good! Just working!! This week it is
going to pay off! My companion is still learning every single second!!
haha.. but he is doing the best he can! I need everyone to be prayin for
one of my best friends, Elder Berry will be having surgery this week
and I need him back in shape to get back down here to Mexico! Thank you
all for your help!! I love and miss all of you!!
Elder Liljenquist
Skippy Peanut Butter and Toaster Strudels make for a VERY happy Elder:)
