Email - I Went On A Hike In The "Mountains"

Sorry for slacking on my weekly letters! I'm just living up the

mission and talking with all the people and not taking time to email everyone.

(We'll I have but they've been short)

We had another snowstorm on Tuesday, so that was fun. We did a lot of

calling and Facebook work because everyone else was online at the same

time.

On Wednesday we again visited the family Fletcher Diaz and had a great

dinner and lesson. This teenager I had been talking to on Facebook a

while back texted me out of no where and asked how to get to church.

She and her mom came, and they loved it. We have been over a few times

since then and they love us so much. They live in a rough part of the

city, and are looking to move soon, but until then we are teaching

them. It's been a bit of a humorous struggle to get them to address us

correctly, because our first names are on Facebook. It's really weird

to be called by your first name on the mission the few times it

happens.

Outside of that, we met some very neat people this week, but most of

them haven't kept in contact very well, so on Sunday we were feeling

pretty bummed. However, at church we had all of our recent converts

come, and Karolina gave an amazing and spirit-guided talk in church

about prayer and faith. She is the mom of the Dominican family that

was baptized  a little over a month ago. We will be going to the

temple with them and Ken soon we hope. The two less active families we

have been focusing on came to church as well, and they were  well

follow shipped by the ward.

I spoke on Sunday and I spoke on the 3 things every recent

convert needs. 1. Friends 2. A calling. 3. The good word of God.

Today we went on a little hike and went to the falls again with the

zone. There are not very many mountains over here, but we take advantage

of what we do have. It was a nice view and made me a little more

excited to actually go on a hike and see mountains again. 

Well, I love you all and so does your Heavenly father! Have a great one and watch

general conference with some questions in mind.
