Dear family,
Thank you so much mom for the
Nugo bars, the translated documents and the white shirts! Glad Tanner
had a good time at Prom! Tell Cynthia congratulations and Catherine
hello. This week I will be skyping from Hermano Sanchezs computer, he
is the Elder's Quorum president. I will be skyping from their account. We
will be skyping around 6 to 6:30 Eastern time. If anything changes we
have permission to text you this Saturday night. This last week we found
our investigator we could not find for awhile. He said that he works a lot
and plays a lot of soccer too. He wants to come back to church and is
willing to make the changes for his life. We set a baptismal date for
May 25th. We are excited for Melvin! Last week we tried this five story
apartment complex that was full of Hispanics. Everyone was so nice to
us and got two return appointments. We also taught our investigator,
Faustino from Cajamarca, Peru! He has really found peace from our
lessons and has a hard time learning but is willing to stay with it. We
have also been teaching him English which has been a great service
opportunity. Yesterday we had Stake conference in Newark. All Spanish
units from Plainfield, Elizabeth, Perth Amboy, Short Hills and Newark
attended. The Temple President of the Manhattan temple spoke on the
blessings on the temple. It was a great talk with so much power. Our
stake president speaks very good Spanish and gave a good talk on not
judging others. My Spanish has improved conversational wise and also
understanding much more. The other night we had just finished a contact and
set an appointment when we saw our bus to take us home leave. We ran
to catch it but missed it. Then this taxi driver told us to get in his
car free of charge. He took us all the way home and said that he always
has respected missionaries and invited us to his home. His wife speaks
only Spanish and he speaks very good English. Unfortunately they are
in the other Elders area, so we set up an appointment with them. I am so grateful
to be a missionary and have learned so much! Love you all very much and
excited to see you this Sunday.
