Week 17 Letter: Another Beautiful Week in Izamal

Well, this is going to be a short one bc my email that I HAD JUST FINISHED WRITING just got deleted. Everything. Like 20 mins of typing. Sorry.

But here’s one thing that happened this week:

I guess for miracle of the week my companion and I decided to Fast on Wednesday for various things but one of them was for 3 new investigators. But we decided to get specific with our goal. We decided that we wanted to find 2 men and 1 woman. So she fasted for that but in my fast I decided to pray that we would be able to find a family of new investigators. So we were walking along the road to our next appointment when a man called out to us and asked us where we were from and where we lived. So we started to talk to him and explain what our purpose is and what our message is about and he all of a sudden interrupted us and asked if we had time right now to come in to his house to meet his wife and kids and share our message with his family. So we did. And that day we got his wife, him, and his son (who is 10) as new investigators! It was such an amazing experience and we got him and his son to commit to a date. We are working with the family right now, and I can tell that Satan is really working hard here bc we haven’t had a lot of success with finding him during the day to teach. Both return appointments have fallen through. For 2 days we couldn’t find him even though we went by his house twice each day. mish bah. But we finally caught him Saturday night and finally set up a return appointment and he promised that he would be there and he’s already almost half way through with First Nefi!! We are stoked to finally teach this guy the restauracion.

Oh and even though transfers are next week, my comp and I know that we are staying here in Izamal for one more transfer. Long story short, President called us and told us that he’s keeping us here bc of the work that we’ve been doing. Izamal is finally progressing.

Mom, I finally got my package last Friday and zone conference. Thanks so much for everything in it! You really know me with the popcorn and nutter butters you sent me!

I also got two letters! One from you mom and one from my coworkers and managers from the theater!!I loved them both! Ellie, tell everyone at work I said thanks!!

I’m working on a letters to send back home, it’s just that there is no such thing as free time as a missionary. But I promise that I’m working hard to do so.

Dad, as always, thanks for the pics and for your inspiring and uplifting emails! Love you tons!

Sorry Ellie, I don’t have time to respond personally to you this week, but I do want to say in this one that you are A FREAKING BABE! Holy cow, you looked beyond beautiful in those pics! Dylan better know that he is a lucky kid. I’ll talk more to you about this next week... haha.

Anyways, I have to go, but pics are coming!
