Hola,
Hows everything going? Last week went pretty well....
Monday afternoon Sister Smith called from the Mission office and told me that she had talked to Julie and had cleared a lunch with Presidente and all that was left was to chose between Wednesday and Friday. I chose Friday and Friday we had a good lunch at the "Family Tree." Julie flashed her ring from across the table and that was certainly quite the fun surprise. It was great to see Grandpa and Mamo. They have eaten there before.
The Wilkins sent funfetti cookies with Julie and they were awesome.
Tuesday we were with a member and we were looking for more people to teach in Genola. Genola is massive geographically but the are very few populants. However, hidden deep into the town we found a fruit orchard with several small apartment things that house all the workers. In one of the apartments we taught three guys and they seem pretty interested. We knocked on their neighbors door and we could hear rustling and the back windows open. A guy cracked open the door and asked who we were. We told him we were missionaries then he opened the door and relieved explained that he thought we were immigration. This actually happens a lot. I guess you cant blame them...we wear suits and drive a nice car.
A couple weeks ago we went over to see Pedro and only his mom was there. She is the nicest old catholic lady ever. She calls us muchachos and then always feels bad because she feels like she should be calling us Elderes but insists on calling us muchachos. She was going through her schedule to set up an appointment and happened to mention that this past Wednesday was her birthday. I wrote it down in the planner and last week we made her a nice card and took it over on her birthday. She opened the door, we gave her the card, and then she cried a bunch. As we expected nobody had remembered her birthday, not even Pedro, and we were the only ones to wish her a happy birthday. Even old, single, catholic ladies need some love.
Thursday we did some fun service with Hno. Guerra in the branch presidency. He has a bunch of land and we went out and planted some peas with him. He is quite the funny guy and the 4 or 5 times we walked by him yesterday at church he was excited about how delicious the peas were going to be.
Angelica read in the Book of Mormon by herself for the first time. She kept saying how she was forgetting so we committed her to keep it on her pillow. It worked. The Munoz family has been busy but the daughter came to church again with her aunt and uncle.
Thats about it... We had more snow last week but today is pretty clear. Adios,
Love, Elder Clark
