Elder Munoz: Humberto... January 12, 2011

hey there!

mom i had a great week! it was awesome. well... i mean there was some discouraging moments because we were struggling to find some new investigators. BUT i began to really pray hard and to be specific in my prayers. and i was being Shaped by my Father. He knows exactly when to give me a pick-me-up. yesterday my companion and i were really diligent! i wanted to find 2 new investigators and that's what i asked God to help me accomplish. it was snowing and we went out to tract. and that's when we found Humberto. we had a great lesson with him and i was so happy because the spirit was strong in the room. Berto speaks spanish and english and we ended up teaching him in english. i love my mission language but it was nice to be able to have no language barrier whatsoever (well... execpt some gospel principles i had to translate into english in my head). we testified to him and asked him how he felt. he said that he felt so much better than before. he had been having a bad day and when we came up, something told him that he should listen to us. BAM! how cool is that? i'm so excited to continue teaching him. we're going to see him tomorrow.

that's not the only thing that i've been blessed with. we found another new investigator that we're going to teach saturday. we also found a less-active part-member family that we didn't know about. they agreed to let us come back when the whole family was there!

well as you can see things are going well here. HAPPY 26TH ANNIVERSARY! i hope your day was awesome! i love you mom and dad.

i looked at the family blog today so i could see your pictures. and wow! you all look so good! and the house looks different! you mentioned changes, but i didn't realize! nice big red couch! it'll be strange/fun coming home and getting used to everything.

haha you crazy old folks with your FHE. that's so great. i'm glad that you are strengthening yourselves spiritually and as a community. that's a really important thing.

i want to know how your co-worker is doing mom! the one that got baptized before i left with tattoos and stuff. i hope that he is still doing well. if not, you should find out what he's up to. yeah?? hopefully he's still strong in the church.

well have a great week. i love and miss you all.
