Hola!
Haha I totally forgot that it was super bowl time! Thats
kind of lame that it was a blowout, but yeah...the snacks and commercials are
the best part anyway. And I got a birthday letter from the Lawrences, so thanks
for that! Dad, thats way cool about your friend and how you've been inviting so
many people to talk to the missionaries! I'm sure the missionaries in the ward
love you guys! And Jaxon told me he's still injured but played in his game and
they did awesome! Thats way cool! Congrats!!!! Haha I'm pretty sure the
celestial kingdom has a soccer team...
So this was a fairly fun week. We got to go and help build
part of a house again (haha to be honest I'm not entirely sure exactly what we
were doing...my companion and I don't speak "construction worker spanish"...but
I think its meant to be some sort of support wall thing.). Also, during the
service project the next door neighbor, a less active member, came and asked my
companion and I to give a blessing to her sick kid, so we went and did that and
then went back to work, and then she came out like 20 minutes later to tell us
her kid wasn't sick anymore, so that was pretty cool. We also put a few
baptismal dates, so if all goes well we should have one this week and one next
week. We'll see how that goes! Haha we also had a zone meeting this week, and
one of our zone leaders is chinese, which is interesting. He has a hard time
with spanish because apparently there aren't very many people or books that
know how to teach spanish to someone that only knows chinese...so that kind of
made me feel like I've had it easy. We also got several references from the
ward, but our area is so big and we've been focusing so much on the people
about to get baptized that we haven't manaeged to contact all the references we
got, so we might be doing that this week too. So, they're definitely keeping us
busy! Oh, and the youth in this ward kind of amaze me. They all got up
yesterday to share their testimonies and experiences from a camp they had this
weekend. Hearing their testimonies, you'd never guess that half of them have
less active parents and more than one of them have a dad thats leaving the
family. I've never heard a single complaint from the youth in this ward, even
though I feel like everyone one of them has had a harder life than me. All I
ever hear from them are laughs, jokes, and testimonies.
As a verse of the week, I really like Luke 21:19 "in
your patience possess ye your souls"...its cooler in spanish. In spanish
it says "con vuestra paciencia ganaréis vuestras almas" which would
basically translate as "with your patience you will win/earn your
souls" (google translate says differently but....yeah). I also like the
footnote for the word "possess" that says "win mastery
over". I don't know, it kind of blew my mind but...I'm not really sure
why. Its just cool.
Anyway, things are going good here, lots of fun and lots of
good stuff happening. Haha our area is too big and we can't do everything we
want but, whatever. I hope you guys have an awesome week and keep being amazing!!
Love
Elder Webster
