Family!
This week was a great busy week! So much has happened I feel like its been two weeks since I last wrote you!
We started the week in the Broadway area doing trainings. We drove from there up to our area, had 1 appointment then drove straight to Moss Bluff Louisiana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can check that one off my list of making it into Louisiana. It was a great experience Not a whole ton different than east Texas...but east Texas is quite a bit different than anywhere else really. We did a training in Lake Charles then drove to Vidor and had another. The next day we had two trainings in Pasadena! It is starting to get confusing and we forget what we have said to one group and what we haven't said since its all the same thing. We have really enjoyed getting to know all the missionaries from the mission and to be with them and interact with them! That's one of the pluses of being here. No Spanish and no Ghetto but a lot of President Crawford and seeing other missionaries. You win some and you lose some!
This week we were able to teach Karine a few times! She is great! We had a little scare this Sunday, she didn't show up at church. We went by later that evening and she explained how her baby was sick and kept spitting up every time she would go to leave so after changing her 3 time she gave up. But the baptism is still on for this Saturday at 2!
Also this Saturday we have some "unknown meeting" with all the other Houston missions and the San Antonio mission along with Elder Callister and Elder Foster. It's for all the mission presidents, their wives, and the Assistants. It's going to be fun! Is Bryson an assistant? That stud should be - so hopefully I'll get to see him!
Today is our golfing day! We invited one of our investigators! Bill Kirby! He is a great guy. He is the one that loves to put us to work. I'm not sure if I already told you about him but we knocked on his door one evening and he invited us in...gave us dinner and had us helping him paint his man cave an Atlanta Falcons red and grey. It was so funny! We were even in our suits because we had come from a baptism in Baytown of someone that Elder Hepworth taught (that's another thing I forgot to mention that we did this week, we went on exchanges with the Elders In the Baytown area on Friday and Saturday.) anyways we were painting with him and teaching at the same time! It was great!
Life is great as a missionary! There isn't anything better! It's a different work than the last however many months but it's still the Lord's work and doing the Lord's work is always a pleasure.
Con amor y respeto
