Hey Mom,
Dinner was good, we had pork chops with rice and green beans.
Yes I am leaving, I will be leaving for Brownsville (about 2 hours away from La Joya) So that should be pretty fun, Brownsville is a super poor area but it is kept really nice so it looks super beautiful.
Well I guess on to this weeks highlights:
Monday:
After we went to Longhorn Steakhouse with Eloy we got haircuts and then we met the Rivera family at a taqueria for some tortas which were super good. We were having an open house at the church for anyone that wanted to come and see it. The only people that showed up were some members so we just had a family home evening thing which was pretty good.
Tuesday:
In the morning we had a zone meeting, we talked about faith and power, it was pretty good. After the meeting Eloy called us and asked if we wanted some carne asada so we went by his house and ate some carne with him, it was so good. We then had an FHE with the Hernandez family and talked with them about the blessings of the priesthood, that went really well. After the FHE we ate again with the Oyervides family, they invited us to Whataburger so we ate with them and had a good dinner.
Wednesday:
We did family history in the morning, and then we had lunch with sister Corpus, that was good, it was pork with potatoes, so it was pretty good. Then after doing some stuff we ate with sister Hernandez (a different Hernandez family) and we had beef with potatoes, so that was super filling, we were stuffed. We then went to the church and had ward family history, not many people showed up so we didn't do a whole lot, it was still good.
Thursday:
We were making some plans when Eloy called and asked if we wanted a lunch plate (a big thing people do down here is buy a whole bunch of food, usually meat and some sides, and cook it up and sell it in to-go boxes for $5-$10 each) Eloy brought us a plate of sausage and chicken and brisket, it was super good. We went out and did some finding.President Torres called us for no reason, we were a little shocked. He asked us to look in some books that the sisters left behind and see if we could find a note that they had left. We went and looked for the note but we couldn't find it, we told President and he said it was okay. So we then went to a meal appointment with the Villalpando family, we had super good caldo, it was chicken with zucchini and carrots and corn on the cob, delicious.
Friday:
We had lunch at Subway with Guerrero for coordination, that was the usual. We went and set up chairs and tables at the church for the Mother's day dinner tomorrow. We then tried visiting some members in the ward and talking with them. We had a super good dinner with the Buentello family, it was fajita with sausage and we made tacos, it was super good. We then visited a less active lady in the ward who told us she wants to start coming back to church, that was pretty cool. After visiting her we went to the Hernandez's house to drop off a bike pump that brother Hernandez let us borrow, it turned out to be their daughter Karime's birthday party so we hung out with them for a little bit and enjoyed some games.
Saturday:
Saturday morning we went to the church to see if we could update our member list, Brother Hernandez and Bishop were there cleaning the church and also planning for the dinner that night. After we updated the list we tried visiting some members and investigators. At 6:00 we went back to the church and were there to help set up a little bit for the dinner. At about 7:20 we started, I joined in with all the guys in singing some Mexican songs that they all knew, I just tagged along and had a good time. We ate super good fajita and had some cake, it was a good dinner.
Sunday:
Sunday was the usual, we only had 59 at church, so it was pretty quiet. During 3rd hour we had a lesson in Elders quorum about the necessity of going to church, it was a good lesson. After church we tried visiting people and then we called home and talked with the family for an hour. We ended the night by going the the Weger's house and eating some good food.
That is all for this week
Talk to you next week, from Brownsville
Love
Elder Goodbaudy
