August 16, 2011 Letter


why hello there!
 
wow mom and dad you two have some demanding callings now. one of my friends on the mission said he hated going to his home ward after the mission because at church his dad stood on the stand in the bishopric and his mom was up there for the music. so he was sitting all by himself! i think that might be what i go through! dad on the stand, mom visiting different wards. lame... haha jk. i'm not sure if i'll want to go to the singles ward. it'll be wierd. who knows though. i hope dev and kat make new great friends too. that will make a big difference in their church experience. i bet they will though.
 
so how does amber and jeremy have friends from india? what is going on here?? haha that's really cool though. there is a big Indian community in chicago. there's really people from everywhere here. its really neat. right now though as you know i'm just serving in little mexico. that's cool that even ya'll are getting to see a new culture!
 
wow so the wards are growing out there?? tell me more about that. are they just going to need to split our ward or are they going to split other wards too? any more news about the members from the stake? any more recent marriages or anything exciting?
 
well the work here is going well too. we found a really cool new investigator recently. he's got a LOT of deep life questions and has felt like they've never really been answered, but he's never talked to us before! so we're going to teach him tonight. we also found a deaf person that we just started teaching! we ran into her tracting and although we couldn't speak with her, we wrote down a few messages on paper and she accepted to watch the restoration dvd because that has ASL to it. we're going back tonight to teach her too and we're bringing an interpreter from the suburbs haha! isn't that cool? that lesson we had was the first lesson i have had without talking! i'm telling ya, i really want to learn ASL when i go to BYU. i guarantee that it'll come up in my life and i'll need it.
 
my comp is doing well too. he is picking up spanish a lot! i'm so grateful to be working with him because we both have desire to be the best we can. so we openly execpt constructive criticism from one another and seek how to improve individually and as a companionship. he's got a great heart.
 
well i love you all. i printed off some pictures and i made a cd with some pictures too. i'll be sure to send it soon cuz i haven't had the chance to mail it. but you'll have it before i email ya again i'm sure!
love,
elder derek munoz
