hello family!
thanks for the testimonies that you shared with me recently. i really loved them :)
i'm glad to hear that things are going well with you all. that's great that your boss got to come visit dad! i'm sure it was a little hard and nerve-racking, but surely you impressed her. and i'm glad to hear that you got to go to the temple! isn't it great? we get to go to the temple more often now with the new mission president. i'm excited for that.
wow there's a new bishopric!? that's interesting. i remembered bishop saying that he might leave but i forgot! well i'm sure the new people will do a good job. i need to write bishop linnemeyer a letter before they leave! he's a great person. i'm glad that i was able to work with him while getting ready to come out here.
well the missions are officially combined. i have a north-sider for my companion. haha i wasnt' too excited about it at first. and the first couple days we had together were REALLY rough... but don't worry. things have gotten a lot better. he's kind of an odd guy. haha but i really do love him. i honestly and sincerely think that he has aspergers disorder. at first i just didn't understand that, so it was difficult. the first few days my patience was really tested. i really had to control myself to speak calmly and level-headed with him, because he kept having problems with me and if he felt i wasn't listening, he was rude. haha i made a kind suggestion that he should speak slower when we teach (because he talks really fast) and he got really mad and said "don't tell me what to do. you don't know spanish." LOW BLOW! haha don't worry i stayed calm and didn't retaliate. well so yes, it was hard at first but things are going a lot better now. we get along with each other and he really does have great insights and i've already learned much from him. so i'm thankful to have him with me. (btw my spanish is great :) haha)
well, yesterday we found 3 new investigators! one was a boy playing guitar on his porch. i rode my bike past him and i had a feeling that on the way back, i should stop and talk to him. so i stopped at his house and started talking to him about the guitar. he was a really nice college student who agreed to hear the first lesson! he also agreed to read and pray about the book of mormon! we meet with him tomorrow. my companion and i have really been feeling the spirit and seeing blessings in our lives. the Lord has his hands in the work.
my companion and i have been a lot more specific in our prayers and i already feel like i'm seeing a difference in everything i do. i've truly been keeping a prayer in my heart and it makes life so much easier! i don't really hesitate to talk to anyone anymore. i LOVE it!
i don't know how to describe the strength my testimony has recieved. i love being here. even though sometimes it's hard, i see so much in a different perspective than so many of my brothers and sisters on the street. and it makes things so much better. and i want to share my eternal perspective with everyone.
i love you all! thanks for your love. tell annie happy birthday for me! it was yesterday! ok??
til next week, elder munoz
