Happy Wednesday,
The work here is going well. Jesus's baptism is this saturday! i'm so excited! he is really ready. let me tell you somethings about him... when we were about to teach him the Sabbath day and keeping it holy, we asked him what it meant to him. he told us that he probably shouldn't work out on sundays anymore. AH! that was before we even taught him! i was shocked at his faith and willingness to strive to be a better person! i actually laughed because i was so dumbfounded. yesterday we taught him about tithing and fast offerings. we (again, before we actually taught what it was and was for) asked him why it's important because he said he thought he knew what it was. he told us that it was important because it helps to build up the church for things like temples. again i was shocked hahaha. i'm not sure if i am getting across the fact that in the lesson he was giving golden answers to the things we were talking about. i was so excited for him because he's ready to be baptized. i'm so happy for him and for the blessing i have had to be apart of this process with him.
my companion and i have been working hard to find and teach as many people as we can. we have had our difficulties, (we had an intense and heated companionship inventory) but we pulled through and i really love Elder Rios. i only get to be with him for this one transfer and that is pretty sad. he's going to be going home this next Thursday! ah i can't believe it. i've learned so much from him and i hope he's learned from me. i know that the Lord put us together for a reason. we aren't the most compatable but i've seen that his strenghts are my weaknesses and my strenghts are his weaknesses. thus again we see the Master Hand taking a part in all things. His plan is intricate and i'm really thankful to know how much that He is aware of me.
well a few fun facts for you, i get to go to the Mexico vs. Senegal soccer game at Soldier Field Stadium next Monday! since it's my companions last week we got permission from the President to take our P-day on the day of the game! i'm so excited for that! it's going to be great because i know it will be a good game with an exciting crowd! haha i've never been to a real soccer game before! also, next transfer i'm MOST likely going to be with an Elder Rapier who is in my district now. and he is really a great missionary and i get along with him well. so that would be fun.
i love you all! i hope you are doing well and enjoying life. take care and keep me posted! i'll talk to you in a few days! what time should i call you? i get home from church around 2:30. honestly i don't even remember what time you have church but i think it's in the mornings now right? well we're in the same time zone so it will be best for me to call after my church is over. so i'd say plan on me calling around... 3 okay? and don't worry, if for some reason you can't talk then, i'll be able to call later on in the evening. take care!
love
elder munoz
