Well I am glad to hear that everything is going well back
home. I am so glad Elijah is
playing basketball for his school.
I think he would be able to play basketball and baseball at the same
time in high school. When I was at MHS, some of the kids struck deals
between coaches to play 2 sports.
If Elijah gets the chance to play the cello anywhere, do
it! I regret not having the
courage to play as much as before. I am teaching a guy in our ward to read notes and play piano.
I kind of struggle with the left hand playing, but it is helping me
practice my playing skills too, so it is a win-win. I want to learn more instruments but we can't buy anything
in the mission like that, so we fool around with a guitar in a member's house
sometimes... but I will be going to see Uncle Mark when I get home for help
with that since he own a dozen of guitars!
To answer your question dad: I have only seen some baseball
fields in the richer zones here, but no one is actually playing.
Aunty Miki: thank you for your letters; I just got them in
the mail. Mail pouch is kind of
slow to get here.
Well our week here was good and it was like any other, we
have a baptismal fecha for the 25th so we will work our butts off to get him
there.
Elder Cook is coming to Guatemala and all the missionaries
from the missions south, central, and east are going to meet up for a huge
meeting with Elder Cook. Looking
forward to that.
Well, cool story for this week… we were going to show the
video “The Restoration” to a man and his family this past Wednesday. When we got to visit the family, Elder
Farr opens the case and instead of The Restoration video, it was the video “Together
Forever.” But just as we were about to finish up talking story and
actually open the lesson, the man started talking about his father and how he
died recently, and how this man's sister told him about our belief in baptisms
for the dead. Then at that moment, Elder Farr and I looked at each other
and everything connected, that the video “Together Forever” was supposed to be
in the restoration case because that is what our investigator needed in that
moment. So we showed the video and explained to him about how families
can be together after death, and how we believe in baptisms for the dead. Everything went well with our lesson. It’s just amazing how the Lord provides
for us.
Things are good and this past week we are working hard as
usual. I hope that I don't
have changes, but we will see... I can't leave this area yet. I feel like I have not completed what I
am here for. We work super hard,
but we haven't seen the results yet... sometimes it is hard to stay up about
it, but there is nothing that I can do about it, just keep working hard I
guess, and the Lord will come through and bless us with baptisms if it is his
will.
I Love You Guys and have a good week!
