Hey everyone!
Hey everyone!
This week has been pretty mellow, lots of finding and lots of getting to know more people.
Monday was pday and as usual we did our shopping and hung around the chapel, played some ball, and wrote our emails so yeah.
Tuesday was fun. We had district meeting and we had a exchange. Elder meek our district leader switched with elder Jordan and elder meek came with me to my area. Well let's just say it was pretty interesting. First time leading out the area. This is when I really got to use the Spanish I know. Turns out my Spanish is actually pretty good so that's nice to know! Later that night I taught FHE at the chapel. We had a investigator of the sisters come to FHE and one of our investigators too! It was really nice to have people show up. I taught about the sabbath day and why it's important to all of us and why we need to come and partake of the sacrament every week and renew our covenants with God. It was awesome, we had a little activity and then we played some games.
I wasn't ready for the picture but this is the only one that we got that night.
Wednesday we had a few appointments in the morning and then we finished off our exchange at this really good Pilipino bread house.
Later that night elder Jordan and I had an appointment with the Ciliezar family. Super awesome family! They brought one of their friends to church and I think we are going to start teaching her. Awesome fam that feeds us a lot and loves to do missionary work, and these are the type of families that are "Gold" for missionaries, I wish more families were into missionary work like they are.
Oh and brother Ciliezar is pretty darn good at guitar and bass!
Good old Thursday. We went to service and the Salvation Army. They love it when we come. This sweet little Hispanic lady sometimes buys sandwiches at this little cornerstone for the missionaries that are there helping (2-6) and she gets a table ready, napkins, Arizonas with straws, seriously the sweetest person ever! After service we went by some less actives apartments. It's super hard finding people that actually still live at there address. We have 450 members in our ward but we only know about thirty or so of them and they're the same people every Sunday so yeah we've got a lot of work on our hands!
Friday we did weekly planing for a good chunk of the day. And I got a package from the amazing Peacock family! So nice of them to send goodies not only for me but for my companion as well. We both feel very loved, thanks so much! Oh and the decorations are always the best!
Good way to end the day that's for sure!
Saturday we met with a bunch of members. We were busy all day! It rained Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. So we knew that alot of people weren't going to be at school or out and about so we went and found some people. We met with a less active later that night who is divorced and has a hard time at home. She fed us and we talked to her kids and this and that, shared an uplifting message and we were on our way after that. I hope she can find some friends in the ward who can help her. Her kids are funny haha
Sunday was a pretty special day. We got to congratulate one of the sisters investigators and his decision to be baptized. His name is Javier and he has a little daughter and he wants to make a good change in his life and for his daughter. Super prepared guy. We are so happy for him. I was able to be a witness for the baptism. Javier wanted Elder Jordan to baptism him, it was pretty awesome that he got to experience that. Hopefully we can get one soon!
Sunday and Monday (today) night we have to be inside our apartments by 6 because it's considered a "mischief night" and we're not allowed to be out cause it can be dangerous. So today is like an all day pday haha.
Today we are getting frozen yogurt and carving pumpkins at the chapel so I guess you can say we got some fun things planned for Halloween.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for me and my companion:)
Off to another week!
Love,
Elder Marz
