Que pasa mi amigos y familia?
Ok where to start...this past two weeks have gone really good and fast as well! My area is asweome and is growing rapidly with new members! So I have some sad news.
Just like Fabian back at home, Cynthia will not get baptized because her parents told her that is she does that she cannot live at home! they are strict about thier religion and we had a very sad lesson with her last week when she told us that news. She told us that she is going to pray about this decision and is its right and she gets an answer that she is going to do it with or without her parents! we will see what happenes i guess.
Armondo also told us this week that he is gunna stay catholic and is getting a divorse and moving away to new York. What is happening???? Everything is going the opposite way that is should be going. This past week i have gotten really discoraged and Elder Adams is teaching me the importance of paitence! We did have some good things this week and got three new Investigators! So we are doing good but wil see what happebnes with Cynthia and Armondo!
This week we found a older guy named Jose Hernandez. WE taught him the first lesson and he is very sick with cancer throughout his entiore body and can bary speak! We told him about blessings and he said that sounds nice. Not thinking about it he then asked me to offer the blessing! I was so dang scared! ELder ADams said after we left that he has never seen anyone so nervous and as red as i was. Oh yeah the blessing was IN SPANISH TOO!!! i was so scared and Elder Adams had to hold the book with the giude to start off the blessing! After that i gave him the blessing and it went very good! i dont really remember what i said but Elder Adams said i did a good job so yeah. After That i went home and was so nervous that i studied for 30 minutres every night and memorized the beggining of all the blessings haha. But besides that ecerything went good!
So that Cubs game was so so dang cool! They lost ha but it was awesome and after the game i went down by the dougout and a player threw me and ELder Adams a ball. It was cool but it was really cold being right by the lake! Chicago was awesome! there were people everywhere and i just about got ran over by a stupid transit bus! The metro train ridfe was different and fun! everything is the city is so expensive though! Transportation all day costed 30 dolloars on is own!
Well everything isd going good and im doing really good! I just got told that in two weeks i have to speak in sacrament in spanish so im a little nervous for that! Church is going good and its really fun being imersed in the spanish! Well glad to hear that everyones graduation went well and congrats to everyone!! Also to bridon for being baptized!! Thats awesome! Thanks everyone for everything and keep in touch!! love you all!!!
