hey fam!
don't worry about me! i'm doing great. we moved into a new apartment and it's really cool. i have everything that i need. i MIGHT need to ask you to send me my electric blanket, but i don't think i'll need it for like another month. we have a pretty good heater system in our current apartment. some of the other elders in older apartments don't have it as good as i do unfortunately. thanks for the emergency money dad! i'll probably buy a few wool socks, but in my last apartment i found like 3 pairs in a drawer and i just took those haha. we'll see when the REAL winter comes how i'm feeling.
i'm glad that you guys have been keeping busy. everything sounds really fun with the FHE group and everything. i really would like to do a lot more service things when i get back home. we have a really awesome family in the ward that is so generous. they do not focus on themselves, but on how they can help others. instead of buying themselves new things, they find ways to donate money, or they go and plant trees in the neighborhood. it's neat. but anyway i was talking to some elders and it's going to be hard to come back home if we don't have something to do! like going to school or working right away. because when you are busy it helps you to keep active and happy. work really does bring happiness! as long as you aren't over-working yourself.
the work is going well. my comp and i went tracting and it always seems like the last house is the one to actually let us in! haha but this woman let us come in and teach her. and the lesson was AMAZING the spirit was so strong and she started crying in the first vision. it was really cool because i could feel the spirit working inside me. i can't really explain how powerfully it's presence was. we always have the spirit there when we are teaching someone, but this was stronger than usual, probably the most strongest on my mission. i really think that she is an ellect person from God. she truly has a lot of faith and said that she wants to continue learning and see if she can get an answer to her prayers like joseph smith did. we explained to her how her answer would more likely come, but it all went really well. and she accepted to be baptized! we set a date for this december :) and we hope to begin teaching her family this week.
lazaro is still progressing too. we set his baptismal date back, because he wanted to make his own goal. so december 4th is what we're looking at.
i love you all. thanks for all your prayers and emails. i miss you but i'm thankful to be here.
:) love
