My companion and I have been super busy that past couple of days. We've been averaging 20 lessons a week in just the Spanish Branch which is awesome!! Especially for this mission...that's pretty good. And we are exhausted!
We've been teaching Jose and Clara who own the new Mexican Store in town. I love those guys to death!!! We've been coming over everyday and teaching them in their store. Clara the wife is SOOOOooo scared to find out if it's true...her family and parents are hardcore Catholics. She is scared out of her mind that if she becomes mormon then she is going to get all kinds of backlash from her family. She knows it's true!! But she doesn't want to admit it! gahhh, and Jose is super chill and actually asked us when he can get baptized...but the family is a big hurdle.
When we are working with the Hispanics we are not asking them to change their religion...but change their family. It's tough...and it requires us to be on our toes (spiritually).
Jose Espinosa is progressing! (Yes, we have a lot of Jose's in our teaching pool) In our last lesson we sang the hymn I'm a Child of God. After that he said he could really feel like he's changing. AHhhhhh, he is just soaking up everything that we're teaching him. We're going to teach him the rest of the Plan of Salvation tonight and the Word of Wisdom.
Things are going steady and I'm staying busy. This has got to be one of my favorite areas...it's almost better than Blackfoot. Our Branch President got a new drumset for his son and he invited my companion and I to jam out with him today =D ahhhh man, I miss my baby back home (My Pearl Drumset).
Well sounds like Mom is having a great time in paradise! Thanks for the update. And that's sick that Br. Ellington is the ward mission leader...He seems like a really sweet guy.
Until next week. Much love!
