Hello there!
How is everyone
doing this week? So life is going great! So to answer your question we are teaching
a lot of people right now! Monhita and
her husband Mario are 2 of our most promising investigators! I see real
potential in them! Mario seems to be holding his wife back though... :( But
they are both solid! :) I think it will just take a little time! They are Guatemalan!
And we are also teaching this 19 year old Mexican kid named Luis! He has
a bap date for the 29th of this month! :) I have never seen someone so prepared
to make changes in his life! We have not even taught about the Sabbath day and
he is looking for a new job so he can come to church! He is a great kid! A
little shy, but has such a great heart! Then there is Alex who is a friend of
Marvin (member in the ward) Alex is 14. He came to church last
week and has committed to be baptized. The only thing as of right now that will
hold him back would be his parents, who are pretty devout Evangelicals! But we
have a lot of investigators, but those are more or less our most solid ones who
are progressing right now! And we have a lot on the way! :) We have over 250 referrals
that we are having to look up! We have been kind of stressed out! We have so
many people we are in charge of bringing the gospel right now, it is hard to
keep them all in mind all at once! I am growing so much as a missionary, and
even more as a person because of all the things that are going on right now!
The Lord has really blessed me! :)
So this week has
been good busy as usual! :) I bought some sunglasses today! Thank you so much
mom and Dad! I also got some shoes that I need to send y'all money for! So
expect that soon! But other than that,
idk I can't think of anything new lol! I have been writing in my journal every night
so that is some good news! haha!
Well it is so weird
to think that Todd is driving. That blows my mind. I really can't even imagine
it without laughing. Things are going to be different when I get home won't
they? But I am excited to come home and be able to watch his hockey games
again! And be able to go to some Blues games! We have a rink here in my area,
and our members live right next to it, and I always see little sweaty kids
walking out with their giant hockey bags and stick... Freak that makes me
pretty trunky. I miss those days!
Also I had a
terrible dream last night.. I mean it really was not all that terrible it just
made me really trunky when I first woke up. In my dream I was at my 5 year high
school reunion... It made me realize how much I miss some people. So many
people that I may never see again...I loved high school.. And I realized that
the mission will probably be the same way :(.. .But that is why I love the
Gospel, because we have the knowledge that we will see all of those
people again once this life is over! :) And that is a comforting
feeling! But in the mean time Mom get on my facebook and write Mark, Joel
(unless he still does not have facebook) Bryan, Jake, Mike, Blake Gibbons,
Conner Bodeman, Ryan Vesper, and Brandon Wyant and tell them that I love and
miss them for me will ya? That would mean a lot to me!
Other than that...
Today is PDay we went to the mall in Danbury! And I ate Arbys for the first
time in forever! haha I spent a little more money than I probably should have
but it’s okay because I don’t know when I will get to go there again! Oh freak!
I just remembered! I did the Buffalo Wild Wings Blazing wing Challenge
yesterday! :) Which is to eat 12 of their Blazing wings in 6 minutes! I did it
in 4! haha! I got a free headband, and 6 free wings on my next visit! Plus Bragging
rights! haha! to be honest it really was not that bad. I guess eating all of
the Hot Mexican food has prepared me! :)
Well that is about
it.. Other than the usual.. Talking to people, teaching, and playing Bang when
we get home at night! :) haha! Well I love you all :) Take care and have a
great week! Love Mark! :)
