Jacob - February 15, 2016

Hey everyone, first off sorry about writing a group email this week.
It's not my favorite since I don't get to personalize it as much, but
hopefully it's alright with you guys. Anyways this week was mostly
good. It started out super good with a member present lesson on
Tuesday that was super powerful, but unfortunately the investigator
has a lot of problems that she is trying to fix before she commits to
taking lessons from us. We're going to try and keep in touch with her
though because we know that she likes our message and what we stand
for. We also had a lesson with our most promising investigator, He is
super white, we teach him in English but because of the circumstances.
But he is doing super well, he reads the scriptures and pamphlets,
prays and goes to church. He also has a date for the 6th of March. We
have another lesson with him tonight. Um also I went on an exchange
with Elder Cahoon. He is pretty good and super good at talking with
everyone, something I need to improve on. But I feel like when my
Spanish improves I'll get better at that. My Spanish right now is
alright. People can generally understand what I'm trying to say. I'll
give an example of what i said the other day. So we knocked a less
actives home, he wasn't there, but instead of going out the normal
way, I wanted to try the back exit which was definitely a spiritual
impression because we ended up seeing the less active coming up the
stairs. Anyways what I said to him at the some point in the
conversation was "quiere nosotros a llamarle?" (Super bad, but he
understood.) i should of said "quiere que nosotros le lamamos?" But
also the guy was in a huge hurry and I had to think super fast, plus I
didn't understand a whole lot what he said, but that was my guess of
what he did say and I went for it. That same day I was on an exchange
with Elder Cahoon and one think I like a lot from him is that he leads
by example. He does a super good job at talking with everyone, but
also giving me those same opportunities where I can practice my
Spanish. Oh also this week I made the cake you guys sent me for my
B-day, it's super good. Thanks for that. Um and lastly we got robbed.
I forgot to lock the car when we were at the church and we were gone
for like 45 minutes.. But when we came back out a bunch of stuff was
missing... But I'm sad because my comps marked up Book of Mormon was
stolen along with his bag... I felt pretty bad, but he says it's
alright and doesn't seem to be bothered by it. I guess it's just a
trial, I'm sure I'll get over it soon. We just laugh about it now. I
think that's mostly it for this week. Sorry about the group email
again, but I love you all and hope you have awesome weeks. Cuidan se!
