Sorry I didn't send any pictures last week! My adaptor thing didn't work for some reason but I bought a new one!
This week was pretty great!
Wednesday,
we had a family home evening scheduled as well as another disembargo!
This time it was in the area of the zone leaders! They had every
companion take over a part of their area. Me and Elder Vallenas went to
an area and he wasn't really up for talking too much so I did it all. I
would walk up to people and just talk and he would say his name and I
would do the rest. I'm not complaining though! I love my companion.
The
family home evening was the best part. We got there and it was more of a
scripture study session! It was at the house of the V family.
F is an investigator of 3 years. We all talked and afterwards he was
asked to share. He started talking and he is funny and then he started
talking about how he knows he needs to be baptized and so he set a date
for that Saturday!!
His daughter and me both started crying! She has been a member for as
long as he has investigated! This man was my very first appointment in
the mission field. For some reason he wanted to be baptized!
Thursday,
we got to meet President and Sister Whitesides! They are very nice and
suave cito! Me and an Elder Tingey left to go get some breakfast before
it started and they were there!! It was pretty funny!
Sister
Whitesides is from Cali Colombia. President Whitesides came back after
his mission and then they started writing and got married. He was some
sort of accountant for the church and lived 9 years in Bogota, 3 years
in Russia, and 3 years in Guatemala! They are great. Hermana Whitesides
is very funny and also very spiritual!
Saturday we had the baptism and it was great! Everything went well! Sunday he was finally confirmed a member of the church!
I
also met a guy that lived in New York for like 24 years and he loves
talking English with me but his English is SOOOO hard to understand. I
learned that my brain is hardwired to Spanish as well because I answered
in Spanish without really trying. Also, all my dreams are in Spanish as
well!
I hope everything is going good! OH! I
got one of Grandmas letters finally! I am going to write her back!
Anyways stay strong family I love you all and I hope everyone is doing
okay!
Con Amor,
Elder Reese
