Week 76

Many Miles Traveled

Hola from the great land of Arkansas, and yes I can say from hello from the whole land because we traveled all around the.  For this week we went to the areas of Conway, Otter Creek, Cabot, Jacksonville, Arkadelphia, Camden, Monticello, Pinnacle Mountain, Little Rock Spanish South y North, and Forrest City!  I will send a map showing some of the places that we drove to. state this week!  We had a really busy week starting from Monday night driving missionaries places.  This week included: closing an apartment, driving missionaries to and from appointments, taking stuff to apartments, staff meeting with President Wakolo, and all sorts of other great office stuff. 

Reuniting with Ana

A great highlight was getting to have dinner with Ana again in Little Rock with Elders Heaton, Diaz, Doty y Anaya.  It was such an awesome reunion to see Ana again and she was excited to see me.  She mad us some awesome food as always, and she has been doing super well.  It was amazing because this time I could understand clearly all that she was saying!  I remember when we ate there before it would always be a struggle to understand when everyone was speaking Spanish.  The lord truly has blessed me with the gift of tongues, and it was cool to see how much I really have learned since the last time I was there about a year ago.   

Visitng Yader and Family

Another awesome day is when we went down to Yader's to have Lunch with them while we're delivering a few things in that area. Before that we left a little early so I could try and see Monica who the missionaries hadn't really been in contact with for a while.  It was a weird feeling going back into my first area again, and seeing everything.  When we got there they had just got in their car. so we walked up and knocked on the window!  She was really excited and surprised that I was there!  It was a great reunion and she invited us over for dinner on a day that we have open.  I'm hoping she will be reactivated and back on the right track before they move back to Mexico in April!  Cassandra was there and as well as Bryan!  

After that we went to have lunch at Yader's!! That was awesome seeing him again as well as Joanne and the girls.  It is so cool to see the change in them over the past year, and how focused they are in the gospel.  They are really excited about getting sealed within a month or so.  They are doing great, and both have callings in the Spanish Branch.  It is always awesome to see them!  

This week was so busy we didn't have too much time to do a lot of actual teaching.  We were  able to see an investigator (Hunter) last night.  He is a boyfriend of a member and he is really cool.  He told us some great stories from his work because he checks electric meters, and he runs into all sorts of interesting things. He asked us randomly about tithing and says he wants to pay it next week!  That was pretty cool, and we hope we can see him this wee as well.  We are working with a few less actives and that is also going well. 

Have a great week!!
