Hey!
We are going to have a big basketball show-down next week I believe. The AP's are setting it up. The best 3 English elders vs. the best 3 Spanish elders. Can't wait to dominate! The baptism was good. It was cool to see everyone again and even some of my old investigators cause they came. So I’m fine with being here, or at least getting better. So some good Spanish dishes are: pazole (mm mm good), mole (sometimes good), tacos, tostadas, pizza (not Spanish but good), and other normal stuff. Rogelio and his family are doing alright. They called us Sunday morning and canceled our usual appointment at 9am., and they weren't able to make it to church but are planning to this Sunday. They are SUPER cool! In our ward mission plan they set an alright goal to have the members give at least one referral each month. Really members just need to open their eyes and see that it's them that can help the missionary efforts excel or stay flat. One reason is cause they are scared and nervous to share the gospel but our mission president in a stake conference talked about the scripture about obtaining the word before declaring and you shall be given what to say in that moment. He then made a promise with everyone that if they just take the time to read chapter 3 of Preach My Gospel, just chapter 3, they would be completely prepared and ready to share and that they won't be afraid to do so. Seems pretty easy and it makes a big difference. STUDY PREACH MY GOSPEL EVERY DAY! One thing you can do that we have done, if the missionaries haven’t had you do it yet, is YOU teach the missionaries when they come over. By doing so it also helps you in many ways but then will help you gain desires to accompany the missionaries in appointments. That is probably the biggest help. But do the finding, accompanying, and fellowshipping (not just saying hi or welcome). All victory comes through being humble, diligent, and through prayers of faith. (D&C 104:82) Well things have been well. Can't think of any crazy stories. I don't need anything. Good luck with everything!
Later!
