Dear mom,
El Autobús Mágico was
probably the best idea ever. I´ll read them when I have the time in my language
study and then when I have a companion or anyone who is american, I can start
giving them away. [We gave Davis a bunch of "Magic School Bus" childrens' science books in Spanish because he wanted to learn science vocabulary in Spanish.]
This week was super
good! and super hard! I´ve realized that Cienega de Flores is just a tough
area, more than Nicolas Bravo at least. With less members, more area, less
english, more faith required, sometimes it makes me tired, but i just put my
shoulder to the wheel,push along, and do my duty with a heart full of song, it
works! Goodess gracious I´m sweaty.
We have an investigator
that is preparing to get baptized this week, his name is A, as I´ve told you.
He has a great testimony in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and does
things such as reading and praying, because he wants to! not because he feels
like he´s obligated to. He has a bit of oposición right now, which is that his
boss is having him work on sundays, so until he gets that day off for rest, he
can´t get baptized. He really thinks that he can get it off, and he´s been
praying so that he may get sunday to rest. right now he has monday off (so
close!) But he´s a great guy, he works in a company that makes juice so he said
he´s going to bring us some next time, and he´s super funny. It´s really fun to
teach him, and have him ask questions and see him reach an understanding of the
principles. We had a powerful lesson with him about the word of wisdom, where
two convert members expressed their testimonies about not drinking or smoking
anymore and receiving great blessings. He isn´t addicted to anything, but he
said that once in a while he´d smoke a cigarette or take a drink. He prayed, at
the end of the lesson, to receive the strength to live the word of wisdom and
to know that it is true. Bien con ganas Arturo es.
Well, I´m still putting
on my sunscreen, and it´s hard to eat healthy here I don´t really know what to
do about that but hope that the members feed me something healthy. I´m still
feeling great! Elder H and I are working awesome!!
I love you mom,
Davis
