Hello again!
We had a great week here. Yesterday went very well. We started out going to Bridgeland and translating. I translated for two ladies who must not have been aware that we were translating because they spoke incredibly fast. One in particular shared like 3 poems which had old English and obscure vocab. Oh well. I just gave a general summary of what was going on. There is usually never investigators there but one guy randomly showed up which is always a nice surprise. Right after that we headed to the branch.
l don't remember what people I mentioned last week so here is basically the people we are teaching...
Cindy- she is like 20 and from Guatemala. She has her baptismal interview tonight and her baptism is planned for Saturday!
Familia Urive- Mom and Dad and 3 kids. Erika and Gabe are 11 and 13 and then they have a 10 year old named Erik who has Downs Syndrome. They are all awesome. The mom and dad aren't quite sure if they want to get married but the kids have a date for early next month. They have been coming to church for almost 2 months now.
Familia Vasquez- We are teaching the mom, and her three kids Adrian (16), Alex (14), and Areli (9). They are family to the Urives and have been coming to church for 3 weeks now.
Fernando- He is like 30 and is living with and has a little kid with an inactive. Every time we leave a reading assignment he goes through and underlines everything then when we ask if he read he responds by telling us about the entire chapter.
Those are the progressing people but theres also some new people who have potential.
So at the branch we had 10 people come and it went well. Adrian, Erik, Elder Meakin, and I sat together during sacrament on a smaller row next to the rest of their families and Erik was being really funny. At one point he got up and gave Elder Meakin a huge hug, wrapping his hands around his neck. Elder Meakin got pretty red and the Branch President was laughing from the stand. Every 3rd Sunday they have a pot luck dinner thing and it was very good. The Hispanics love to bring food.
After Cindy's interview tonight we are heading to Provo then sleeping at the Mission Home. I think the AP's are driving a van up here.
Sounds like things are going well at home. Should be pretty busy the next couple of months. The time seems to go faster everyday- See ya!
Love, Elder Clark
