Hey Mom,
Of course I know who El Chapo is. That is why we don't wear the hats in public
Apparently we are doing something right in Newberg to have both counselors be from the Newberg Wards. That is pretty cool, it sounds like stake conference was pretty good.
Way to go Matt, I am glad that he has made it over that hurdle.(Referring to Matt getting his drivers license)
We had 77 at church, better but still not great.
The good word from La Joya is that we have Ward conference next week and the stake president wants as many people there as possible.
This ward is not the fastest at implementing new ideas so we are taking it one step at a time.
We had some nice weather yesterday, it was 75 with a nice breeze, it felt great.
Not much is new this week so here are the highlights:
Monday:
We had to go to Firestone to get our tire fixed so we just hung out there and waited for that to happen.
Tuesday:
We had a super good zone meeting about receiving revelation, it was super good and I learned a lot.
We then had an exchange so I was with Elder Vicharra who is from Peru and we visited some members and investigators.We had dinner with the Hernandez fam and it was super delicious.
Wednesday:
We ended our exchange and Elder Barlow and I got back to work. We had ward family history and I helped Sister Hernandez and Sister Ramos find names to print so that was good.
We also discovered that Elder Barlow got pink eye so we decided we had to go to the doctor Thursday morning.
Thursday:
So we went to the doctor. We spent 3 HOURS waiting in the doctors office until they finally called Elder Barlow back. We talked to the doctor for 5 minutes and she said the following:
"Yep you have pink eye, let me write you a prescription for that..." "Here you go have a great day."
So we went to Walgreen's and got the medicine that we needed.
We had lunch with Brother Viillalpando and he told us about what he thinks the ward needs help with.
We then ate dinner with Bishop and had a good chat with him for a little bit.
Friday:
We had the usual coordination with Brother Guerrero, and all is well.
We had a late lunch with the Ramos family and we had some delicious tostadas.
We met some members and talked with them and also with some investigators.
We ended the night by talking to our boy Eloy and he went on this big rant about the government, so that was good.
Saturday:
Sister Covarrubia, an older lady in the ward brought us some lunch which was delicious.
We visited some members in the ward and we had the less active husband of a member in our ward ask us a whole bunch of questions so that was good. Nothing too crazy so it was pretty good.
At about 9:00 we were on our way home and we stopped by a hot dog stand and got a mexican hot dog because they are delicious. So that was a good way to end the night.
Sunday:
Church was good as usual. We got a new Elders Quorum president which was really nice, he is a returned missionary and he is a super good guy so I am excited to see what he does.
We had a late lunch with another Villalpando family and had a good time talking about the relation between Narnia and Christian beliefs about Jesus Christ. It is pretty interesting.
To end the night we practiced singing with some members in the ward and we are going to be singing next Sunday in Ward Conference.
That was about it for the week, no pictures or anything, it was a pretty boring week.
Tomorrow officially marks 6 months so we are going to have a little "party" tonight, should be good.
Something I learned this week is that doing the small things makes a huge difference, so pray and read every day, go to church every week and look for the miracles.
Today we got a call from the stake President and he told us that we wants 120 people at ward conference so we have some work to do.
Send a prayer up there for the La Joya ward, we are going to need it this week.
Talk to you next week
Love,
Elder Goodbaudy
