this week was another solid week.
nothing crazy or terrible happened, but elder hwang and i are truckin
along. working hard, helping maribel and juan and janet progress and
grow and everything is going super great. the divorce and marriage
is going good with juan and janet, they should be going to court to sign
the last divorce papers this week, they'll have a marriage date for
sometime in the coming week, and then they'll finally be able to be
baptized along with maribel.}
we have been
praying and working and looking hard to find more new investigators or
families that need the gospel, and i know that according to our faith
and obedience well find someone who needs this gospel. ill let you know
who we find next week.
i learned this week
that the prophets and apostles are inspired chosen men of god and we
never have to doubt or question their words and counsel. i have been
reading all the talks from the last two general conferences, and i have
found so many things that i forgot about, and tons of new things. i
challenge you guys to go and start reading the general conference talks
side by side with the book of mormon and see the things that you will
remember and learn, and then act on the promptings you receive.
questions:
is there anything you need?
nope im doing great :)
did you get some pouch letters nino and i sent you a while back?
I forgot to follow up on those. no haven't got anything yet, but im also 6 hours away from where the letters get sent to in rancagua so they could be there. we just have to wait until someone from rancagua comes down here, and thats almost never.
Do you do laundry in your apartment or do you go to members or a laundromat?
we have a little laundry machine in the apartment and we hang everything on a clothes rack to dry
Do your clothes smell like mexican laundry detergent?

ha, ya i think so, im used to it now.
What kinds of service projects have you done lately?
we just went to an orphanage for handicap girls and cut all the grass and trimmed all the trees and pulled weeds and did all the stuff i used to do at lobo landscape. i felt right at home
The elders in the states just got their service moved up to 10 hours a week. Do you have a certain number of hours per week?
no, not that i know of
Does your ward have a choir?
no but the stake does
Is there any musical talent in your ward? like an organist etc?
the patriarch, carlos alegria, plays the piano. there are no organs here, just electric pianos
Do you wish I would have made you play the piano? ha!
yes, you were also right about that. i am seriously regretting not listening to you.
Is it typical to be the sr. companion and training after 6 months?
no not really. its not super common, but its nothing special either ha
