Jacob - February 29, 2016

Hey sorry again that I have to write a group email, hopefully it's not
too bad for all of you. I figure I write usually the same stuff to
everyone anyways. But this week was pretty good. The Spanish is coming
along. I still don't give myself a ton of credit, but I usually pick
up on most things and I can usually figure out certain words by the
way sentences of flow, so that's improving as well. I think I mainly
need to work on teaching simpler with better verbs, probably also my
ability to conjugate. But so far so good, can't really complain about.
I just barely read Tayler's email, granted there were words I didn't
know, but I understood everything, so that's pretty cool. Also I make
more jokes now since I can understand people, so people are starting
to like me more. Um this week for teaching was good, we were able to
find some people we've been struggling to get a hold of, we also found
some new people were going to teach tonight or later this week. I'm
pretty excited about them because they seemed to have genuine
interest. We passed a super cool family this week to English, the
Vargas Family. Man their sweet, we have a visit with them tomorrow to
help them switch over to English. Also we have another kid who is
progressing really well. Yesterday we taught him the law of chastity
and how he has to move out, he was super ok with it and took
everything really well. He's got a date for the the 13th of March, but
he has a lot of distractions going on right now that we're concerned
about so be sure to pray for him. Other investigators are doing well,
I think the toughest part is just not seeing people do commitments
because I see them as blessings, but they see it as wasting time or
something. I just wish people could change their minds a little bit.
But also the packet on the atonement is super good. I really like the
several messages that I've been able to read. One of the things that
caught my mind is that we need to be submissive when it comes to
making change. I know all of us want to change for the better, but
Heavenly Father is only going to help us if we are willing to follow
his will. I guess it's something to think about. Ok last thing, we had
a service and school called el modelo or "Elmo" we did a blood drive
and it was pretty chill. Um I can't really think of much else to say.
Les Amo! Que Tengan un buena semana! Yo espero que ustedes tengan un
gran tiempo cuando Tayler llegue. Se cuidan!

Here's some pics for you guys. The reason we're wearing sweats is
because of a rule that wasn't being very I forced, but president
thought it was time to re I force it. It's not too bad, but I'm just
waiting till it's actually summer. But following the lord equals
blessings so it's define toy worth it. I think Mosiah 4:9 fits it
pretty well. We may not understand the purpose of some commandments,
but the lord does, so we just need to be obedient and trust in him. I
think that goes for a lot more than just this no shorts rule. Oh and
the shirts are from the blood drive we went to earlier this week. Well
that's it for today. Love you guys and take care!
