Hey mom, I'm glad you had a good week. Hopefully this week will also
be good, but you'll have to forgive me because I got a headache so
I'll just send the stuff that I wrote earlier, it goes a long the
lines of this... This week went by pretty well. It's been a little
tough finding people to teach. E get usually a good amount of street
contacts per day, but we only receive a few addresses from those and
then when we do stop by, not many people are home. So it's tough to
find those people that are prepared. Fortunately we had a meeting with
the Bishop. We pretty much asked what we can do to best work in this
Ward. He mentioned a lot about visiting members and it's something
that we're going to try out. But hopefully we'll find a balance
between teaching the members and finding new investigators. That's
pretty much how the work went this week. We also had an activity that
was pretty fun. It was designed for the Primary so there was tons of
little games. And also for Saturday's dinner we went to the Galvon's.
Oh man it was so tasty. They cooked a cow, but they did the method
were they buried it underground. It was super tender and they also had
a bucket down there to catch all the liquids. So we had a soup thing
and then super good barbacoa. Also they made tacos and it was just a
blast. I think overall the week went pretty well. I was also able to
go an exchange with Elder Castillo again. We went over to his area and
we had a good time. We weren't able to have a lot of lessons, but we
were trying our best to fulfill our purpose. For some reason I feel
like this transfer has been a lot about patience... I'm not completely
sure why, but we aren't having the success we would like to have or we
don't have a ton of people that we are teaching. Even though,Newell at
least to me, we are trying our best. So idk what's up, but I just hope
to keep a good attitude through out it. Missions definitely have ups
and downs, but I think a lot of it just depends on how we look at
what's going. But anyways I think that's mostly went down for this
week. I love you & hope you have a great week!
