Hello fam and friends. Sounds like mom is having a pretty good time over there in Hawaii...and I'm happy to hear that the sister missionaries are finding and teaching. It's true that the Sister missionaries can get into more houses than us lol. And yes, it's FINALLY getting warm over here in Idaho...I can finally wear short sleeves!
Well I hope the memorial day weekend for you guys was great. I had a blast. We went to the Civil Defense Caves with another set of Elders. It was fun exploring the caverns of the dark abyss. We also did flips off the giant sand dunes in St. Anthony. It's just a bunch of sand in the middle of St.Anthony...it kinda feels like you're stranded in the middle of Egypt.
Later that night we did some service for the parents of Jose and Clara (owners of the new Mexican Store). That was super awesome for us because Clara's parents are very very very Catholic...but we got to know them a bit better and they got to see what we are really about. For some reason a lot of the other religions here think we worship the Devil...including the parents of Clara and Jose lol. of course! We had the chance to disperse that belief and let them know we are normal and that we believe in Jesus. Anyways! later that night they invited us for a little BBQ and I had the best Honey Bacon/Avocado burger than I've had in ages. It was a good way to end the day.
It's actually a miracle that they invited us over...like...my companion and I are these two white goofballs preaching the gospel...but we are just being so blessed. I really don't know how we get inside these houses, or how we find these people...but it's definitely not us alone in this work.
In other good news Edgar came to church! He's so awesome. He's pretty nervous about baptism, but a member came with us this last lesson and he opened up to us even more. Members make the biggest difference. Edgar has some fear taking that step towards baptism because he has family with those strong traditions in Catholicism. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and he was blown away even from the simple concept that we actually lived in Heavenly Father's presence before this life. He committed to pray about the things we taught that night. He's coming along and he's slowly building that faith.
Well it's almost summer vacation for you guys...y'all have any big plans?? My companion and I were thinking about preaching the gospel, or something like that haha.
Love you guys and thank you for your prayers. I need them and I feel them. Have a great week!
