Summertime...

MOMMA!!!

I am doing super well thank you for asking, those pictures were awesome and I'm sorry to tell you but I forgot my camara so there might not be pictures of me this week:( But our week was super great! 

So I will now take you through the day of Sunday, just yesterday because it was a bit crazy. We got up got ready and went to church like normal, we had a lesson with Salomon who's on date for baptism still (I will talk about him in a bit), then we went home and did some studies and went off to do a service. A couple days previously this non member came in contact with the YSA missionaries in our zone, saying she needed help moving out her storage unit. So we go to help them out with that around 3:30, with a group of six elders, and her unit is on the second floor. We take a bunch of things down the elevator and into the U-haul, and Elder Stone and I drive over to the house to help unload while 4 others stay and move things downstairs until we get back. They all had dinner appointments at 5:00 too, so they left and when we got back the YSA elders showed up and so we were getting ready to start unloading the second half of the storage unit. But the elevator broke! And the other elders that were there previously didn't move the piano, china cabinet or the recliner couch soooooo we got the wonderful opportunity to move it all down some stairs:) It was super fun, her son was there helping us too and we figured out that she is from Guatemala, so we talked to her for a little while and by the time we dropped off the last load at her house she was so grateful she insisted on taking us out for pizza haha! So, we went and it was super awesome! After she ordered and we were getting drinks she started crying because she was so grateful, later while we were eating she told us her mom had been in the hospital for a while and her son and daughter had also in the hospital recently, and herself and things have just been going bad, she had to leave her new job to go see her mom in Guatemala and now they're really tight on money and so thats why they were so grateful!! And now she told us she would come to our English class and church next sunday!!!! So cool!!!!

So Salomon's doctrinal knowledge is not as sound as I had thought it was. He is following all of the commandments and believes the church is true, but there is a lack of religious backround so we need to keep working on him. He accepts most everything we teach him which is super cool. He loves all the members and has really made a huge change in his life! 

Super jealous of Mason right now! I really want to know how he's doing out there in Fiji! And I hope he's taking tons of pictures too! I love all you guys and hope you have a great week!!
