well this week was a good week. we had our last zone conference of our mission! that was crazy and we had to give our going away testimony. i never thought it would come time for me to go home and to share my testimony at conference like that. but it happened. and it was good. it was also pres. avilas first conference and things were different then when president lindahl was here. the zone conference started at 9 in the morning and ended at 730 at night! with lindahl it never went that long. it always ended in the early afternoon after lunch. it was good just really long and no one was paying attention anymore and just wanted to go out and work and stuff. but it was good.
we had a good week with our investigators and people we are helping to come back to church. a few inactives came on sunday and even shared there testimony in sacrament meeting. so that was good and it was a good spirit felt there. we also finally got a bishop called in our ward and that was a good change and thing that has needed to be done for the past little bit. it was a really good sunday though. lots of poeple shared there testimonies and we were also able to get the elders quroum really excited to go out and do there visits! with the help of the stake president and us they are alot more animated and we have a better plan set forth to help some future leaders of the church that are currently inactive. so that was exciting. things are gong really well. i am having a blast!
just a little update i have thought about it and i know that the desire at home is for me to come home and eat at home. and i love the idea! and i was thinking if possible we could get together all as a family and friends if wanted and who ever really wants to come, that we could have a BIG bbq! a typical USA summer bbq, with hamburgers, hotdogs, salads, watermelon, cantalope, and some orange jello with the cream from lisa and maybe a red one also with berries in it. and a texas chocolate cake or rubarb pie or both for dessert.... if possible. that is what i would think would be good and would enjoy. just to have my two cents worth put in.
i am really happy to hear about work dad. roberts and i have been praying for you and the business that it will pick up and things will go better for you. i have felt good this week and hope that it keeps getting better! thanks for everything. i miss you all and love you all alot!
well this week was a good week. the mission is slowly starting to change and rules are being put in and new things are being enforced it is odd.... but things are good. we are still trucking along and having a great time! we had a pretty crazy guy come to church yesterday. someone we talked to in the street that week and he came. he is a mess! super depressed! but a good heart. has alot of problems with drugs and alcohol. but is looking for god in his life. he left alot happier then when he came and felt good he said so that is good. there is slow here in mendoza now. the mountains are completely white and it is super cold! but now to many times in my life can i say i saw and walked in slow in august... so that is crazy! just got to keep a positive attitude about everything! i really do love it here though! i called and asked for permission to go to san juan to give a special made missionary plaque that says ELDER MAXI MALLA on it, to give to maxis mom. but i did not get permission for that. and i asked to go to san luis to say by to my converts and the bishop there. but tampoco did i recieve permission. so it was a little hard for me to accept. but i understand the reasoning and will be happy with it. i will just miss these families so much leaving here. i did not think the last time i saw them would be the last of my time here as a missionary. but its ok.
thanks for all the info dad! i loved it and it was somethings i had on my mind. something else is i want to go down the stairs with my group of elders i am coming home with. so dont come to the gate, please.... also like you said dad i do need a job! especially to pay for all the things you are telling me i will need to pay for. which i love and am fine with. but any ideas for a job i could have asap upon arrival of getting home....? like start applications and stuff now and get it asap when i get home so i can start working and fill my time and make money to pay for my things. when we go to powell we probably wont take the houseboat out of the marina right... since no one will be on the lake that week and stuff.... since there is not really the need for it out. just to be on in and disfrutar it! haha
well i guess i better get back to working! but i miss you all and love you! nos vemos pronto estoy emocionado a verles! les amo
