Hi family. Como estan?
Santaquin is great. We found a couple of awesome young families this week. We had lessons with both of them last Monday. The familia Vasquez was found knocking doors in a little trailer park and the familia Munoz was found when we went to visit some less actives, and they happened to be living there. Sis. Vasquez is a single mom with kids of ages 13, 9, 6, and 2 and the Munoz are a young couple with three little girls, and the youngest is about 2 weeks old. I guess Br. Vasquez has a lot of member friends but has never talked to missionaries. He was basically like...I know of lot of Mormons and I have seen a lot of people change...I just want to find out for myself if it is true. I was happy to hear that.
Tuesday we went out to Elberta and met with one of the Managers of the dairy who is also the Elders Quorum President and he pointed showed us where most of the hispanics live and gave us some good referrals. As we were leaving town a mini van came speeding up behind us and honked at us until we stopped. Renee's friend Ann had seen us walking out of a house and tracked us down. She invited us over for dinner a couple days later. Small world.
Fernando is doing well. We talked to him about the Book of Mormon last lesson and are still working on getting him to pray more. Tonight we have a family home evening with the branch missionaries, stake language missionaries, ward mission leader, and hopefully tons of investigators. We have invited everyone.
Thursday I had the pleasure of taking a tour of the church dairy with Armando, Ann's husband. They have quite the setup there. I never could have imagined such technology for milking cows. We also had dinner with Ann and Armando. It was nice to have a little break from tortillas and have spaghetti.
Pedro is progressing little by little. He read what we left him but has a ways to go because of the drinking, smoking, and fear of going to church. He is still struggling with his recent divorce and is scared to go to church just as a single guy.
We had a pretty good number of people at church Sunday. Jose Sanchez and another older Guatemalan guy who lives in the same house, Gabino, came too. They both went to the back corner and set on different rows. I sat with Jose and Elder Wallace sat with Gabino and helped them sing, etc... It seemed like in Orem it was tough to get people to church but once they went they would progress really fast. However, here a lot of people just go to go and aren't really interested in learning more.
No training with the UFC trainer yesterday. We have to wait a couple more weeks because he is busy. It was pretty crazy though. Definitely the best workout I have had in 7 months. He has these bands attached to his wall and makes us do all kinds of different workouts with them. I thought he'd take it easy on us but he is a serious guy from Alabama with a deep southern accent and he wasnt messing around!
I hope you all are doing excellent!
Love, Elder Clark
