Family!
Not too much to report
this week, so this email will probably be fairly short.
As far as teaching
goes, things were pretty normal this week. We had a really good lesson
with a man named A------ who is looking for a way to have better unity in his
family. He said he was praying for a way to help his family, and then we
showed up! Awesome!
A man from Mexico
taught us about the Amish a few days ago. This man was born in Mexico but
did a lot of his schooling in California, so our conversation was in Spanglish.
He would say a few words in Spanish, then a few in English, then back to Spanish,
and so forth. It was pretty interesting.
There is a less active
in the branch who doesn't like missionaries at all. We have tried
many times to reach out to him, but he is never interested in talking to us,
and he will usually only respond to us with very short sentences if he has
to talk with us. Well, this past week we had a great visit with him
and talked to him for over half an hour. It went so well that he offered
to let us test drive his BMW around the neighborhood. If it wasn't
for the rule of only driving mission vehicles, I would have
been able to drive his BMW!
As far as my vow
goes to talk about food each week, this week I learned that you can't
make a good carnitas out of turkey, and the same goes for barbacoa out of
lengua. (This is all according to a guy named Elias we talked to on the
street, so don't get mad at me if it's wrong =) ).
I think that's about
it. Sounds like the dance concert was a success! I'm sad I missed
it. I guess I'll just have to go to one in whatever college Katie goes
to... And Trevor better keep that Skyrim song good for when I get home, because
I want to hear it!
I'm excited to talk to
you guys on Sunday! I have 40 minutes, and I can Skype this
time. I've been working through the details with Dad, but I should be
calling after 2:30 your time, and I'll call Grandma Pat right after,
so probably anywhere from 3 to 5 for her.
Oh, and thanks for the
package. I had a pretty good lunch with the stuff that was in there!
Love,
Elder Foote
