Mission Week #65

Happy New Year!

 

Saturday we got transfer calls and I am..................staying. So the pattern continues. Every area has been 3 transfers. The calls are becoming very predictable. We had a good new years. Like three weeks ago when we were at a leadership meeting we gave suggestions for possible new years eve movies to watch as a district. Mostly everyone suggested movies that we didnt think would be approved. However, it seems as if President may be getting a little soft because he approved Thor. So we had a district activity from 5 to 10 and watched Thor, which I enjoyed, then we came home. We had permission to stay up until 12 and sleep in until 8, but I went to bed at around 11.

 

Not too many investigators came to church yesterday, even though it now starts later. The family of the Branch President is back in town so I am off piano duty (his daughter plays).

 

The Gonzales family is continuing to progress well. Hna Gonzales hadnt prayed specifically until last week. We had discussed what we could do to help her remember to do it and we decided to write on a piece of paper and give it to them to put it in a place where they would see it frequently. When we followed up on how their prayers were doing Hno was proud to tell us that he had placed the note on the tv and that when his wife went to watch her novelas she was reminded to pray. She is feeling good about everything and read the Book of Mormon and the Bible for an hour straight one day. She also fasted on her own. They both should be ready in the upcoming weeks.

 

We started teaching a young couple this week, Rigo and Sonya. One of our Stake Presidents called us with a referral and instead of finding the referral we found Rigo and his wife who are neighbors of the referral. They had a baby recently and seem very open. It was awesome because they are in a tiny apartment hidden behind commercial buildings.

 

It has been amazing weather all week. A little cold but sunny and clear. I wonder if it will ever snow....Well, I hope you all have an awesome week!

 

Love, Elder Clark
