Hey Mom,
We will be skyping on Sunday at like 4:00 your time, so that should be enough time for everybody to get home and be ready.
This week was pretty good, pretty usual, we had 68 in sacrament meeting, so it was pretty usual.
Maybe with your friend try sharing a video, the video is called "The Savior Understands Me" by Jeffrey R. Holland, that video has brought a lot of our investigators to tears, it is super good, it is a missionary favorite.
How is it getting a taste of what life will be like when we start moving out? Time sure does fly!
Don't have a whole lot of time and not much is new so on to the highlights:
Monday:
We had the zone soccer activity, that was pretty fun, I did alright. For not playing since 2nd grade I was pretty decent. Even President Torres was there, it was super fun. We then went to Chick-fil-a because those are everywhere down here. To end the day we visited the elders quorum presidents house and he fed us burgers.
Tuesday:
Tuesday we drove up to Rio for a district meeting, Rio feels a lot like Mexico, it is pretty crazy. The church building up there is super small, it was an old baptist church, they have a portable to the side of the building which is where the branch meets for sacrament meeting. Nothing much happened during the day, to end the day we went to eat dinner with the Hernandez family, it was super tasty.
Wednesday:
We did family history in the morning and I tried to figure out how things work a bit better. We had lunch with Eloy, he took us to a taqueria in Sullivan City which was pretty tasty, we had Mexican Hamburgers, super good. Then a few hours later we had dinner with a member in Sullivan City, it was pretty good. It was like a meat, potato, corn, and zucchini stew, super delicious.We then had ward family history where we tried to help some members with their family history.
Thursday:
We didn't do much on Thursday, we had dinner with the Buentello family, we had chicken flautas, and they were good. Brother Buentello also told us some super good life advice, it was pretty good, it was better than the crazy rants he normally goes on. To end the night we saw Gilberto's car in front of his taqueria so we went by to see what was up, he was just doing some cleaning for a little bit to try and prep for opening.
Friday:
We had coordination and so Brother Guerrero brought us pizza for lunch, that was pretty nice. We had dinner with sister Cruz, it was chicken with rice and that was pretty good, I felt super full. While we were up in that area we decided to try visiting a bunch of members, so we stopped by the Lopez family and had a good chat with them. We tried visiting other members but they weren't home. On our way back to the apartment we saw Gilberto at his Taqueria again so we stopped by to see if we could help, he was just finishing up so we talked about his taqueria and when he thinks he can open it.
Saturday:
We went to Subway for lunch and then we tried finding a bunch of referrals that people had sent to us. We had dinner with Sister Covarrubia and talked with her, she is like a super awesome Mexican grandma. It rained and then we tried going around to see if we could find more people to visit, it started to rain so we drove around trying to find people to visit. Since it was raining we decided to go to the church and try to find some people on Facebook, we had a good conversation with some people.
Sunday:
Church was good, it was the usual. Afterwards Eloy brought us some KFC (nobody down here fully understands keeping the Sabbath day holy) so we accepted. After that we tried visiting people that didn't come to church, there were quite a few. To end the night we visited with Edgar Villalpando and his family, it was good. We had a good chat with them, so it was a good end to the night.
That is all for this week, sorry it was late and super brief. Talk to you guys on Sunday and then again on Monday, 4:00 pm your time we will plan on skyping.
Talk to you guys then,
Love
Elder Goodbaudy
