How is everyone doing?? Things here are
going pretty good! We have been working pretty good here! I have been
getting to know the area! But the ward and the investigators are really
good! We still need to find some more, but we have 2 or 3 that are
progressing really well! This past week was the beginning of the heat
wave that's going to come in! Holy cow! I know that I complain to you
guys about the heat all of the time, but if any of you need to lose some
weight, come
down here to Villa and just walk! haha …You'll be in unreal shape in a
week!!! The heat really is not that bad. It's the humidity that kills
you!
Our investigator Roberto, is doing really well. He is
having some struggles with work. He and his family do not have very much.
For work, he buys and resells T.V remotes and little electronic things
and goes out to the streets and sells them. There is a big river that
divides Villa and Gaviotas (my area) and he is always up on the bridge
selling. He is a really cool guy and has a lot of faith! He knows that
all the blessings will come if he just keeps working hard! We explained
to him about prayer and how he can be sure about his answer. We talked
about the fruits of the spirit and how he would feel when he receives
his answer. He did not end up attending church this week, but that night
we went up to the bridge to see him and it turns out that he was sick
and to top it off, he and his
wife had not eaten since the day before because they did not have any
money to buy food. It was weird because like 5 minutes later, a lady and
some guy walked passed us and she dropped an envelope all wadded up. I
did not think anything of it. But something told me to go and get it. So
I went and got it and opened it up and there inside there was two 500
peso bills!! I thought for a second that this could help Roberto out soo
much! But it just wouldn't be right, so me and my comp went bookin it
after this lady! We finally caught her and at first, haha.. I think that
we scared her because she started to like run away from us!! haha.. But
then I asked her if the envelope was hers and then she actually got
really mad and grabbed it right out of my hand and didn't even say thank
you!! haha. Well at least I know I did it right!
The family
that we have been teaching is doing pretty good. There are just some
problems. The husband likes to
drink....a lot!! And they got kicked out of there house this week so
they have been looking for another place to live, The wife is pretty
tired of the husband coming home drunk all of the time. She says she
wants to get away from him for her kids. She is really great, just its
hard with her husband! We are going to focus in more on him!
I
am really excited to be able to see conference this week! I can't
believe its time again! The clock is flying by! I miss all of you soo
much!!
