Hope
things are going great in Utah!
Elder Cook
was awesome! Elder Cook, President Clayton of the 70, and another 70 spoke to
us as well as their wives. We also got to shake all their hands. It was a super
cook experience. They talked about real growth, and what we should do and be as
missionaries. I really liked Sister Clayton, as she talked about really using
love in the work, and how we should be happy while working. A lot of great
thoughts, I will have to bring my notebook next time of what they said. They
spoke to families that were members after speaking to us. Awesome experience.
For my birthday we visited lots of members, because Elder Carniero wanted to
say goodbye. It was really cool and a member made us a dinner and a cake for my
birthday. Also you remember how I said my birthday is the birthday of São
Jorge, or Saint George, apparently it was a big holiday. They had continuous
fireworks all day and huge parties in the streets, literally almost every
block. The second most fireworks I have seen after New Years. I had to just
imagine they were all celebrating my Birthday, hahahaha. So I absolutely
love working with Elder Kerr. This past week has been the most tiring of my mission;
I have not worked harder on my mission. But it has been super good. Unfortunately
we had some problems finding people at home. But we have a few new families and
people to teach, and I think some have real potential to progress. We are
working a lot right now trying to figure out what investigators we should work
with, and which ones should be put in the area book, because out of our
contacts probably one in 4 will give an address. But many times they give the
wrong address or actually don´t want anything. So we are learning to find
people prepared. I think maybe half member families might be something we start
working more with. But really I have lots of hope for this transfer; working
with Elder Kerr will be great.
Love you guys all so much! Send my love to Grandmas and Grandpa would
you? Will email you next week about mother’s day, man that was fast. ha. Tchau!
