Got Package! January 19, 2011


hey mom and dad!
i did have a great week thanks. i'm not sure if i told you about maria and antonio because i thinik we found them on thursday. BUT they are a blessing from heaven. they have been to many different churches and are looking for the truth. they are looking for what feels right. and we were able to teach them and invite them to church. they said yes, and ACTUALLY CAME! haha it's sometiems pretty hard to get people to come to church, but they were there! actually... they even got there before we arrived! but they really liked it and we'll see them again tomorrow. i'm excited. i know it's just the beginning, but hopefullly they continue to learn and progress toward baptism for next month.
my companion and i are doing well. we are going to teach a Zone Meeting tomorrow. we give a little instruction (along with the AP's and President) to our zone of about 22-24 missionaries. i'm a little nervous but i think that we will do a good job. we'll be fine :) i actually really enjoy teaching and speaking in front of people. i still get really nervous and hate to be the center of attention, but i like teaching! it's weird. like when i give a talk at home i get super nervous, but i love it! i think it's because i get to express how i feel or my perspective on a subject, and (especially when it's gospel topics) i can feel the Spirit teach and testify to ME of the truth of what i'm saying. so it's weird that i hate it and love it at the same time. i'll be sure to let you know how it went next week.
i got a package from the Walkers! the older walkers. they sent me a bunch of crackers, pringles, top roman, and hot-cocoa! it was so exciting to open haha and i've been eating the snacks like everyday. they are such a sweet couple and i'm going to send them a thank you note. but be sure to give them a hug for me. i honestly can't remember if i sent the Flicks a thank you note for their last package... i hope i did. they sent me 2 so far and i'm positive i sent one the first time...
i'm so glad to have the support of a wonderful family and a great ward. i hope that everyone is doing well and that the missionary work there is going awesome. please help out the missionaries! ask them what they need with their investigators. and mom i still want to know about your co-worker with the tattoos! i hope he's still active.
i love you all and hope that everyone is enjoying life.
