My Family!
First off, transfers
are in, and I'll be in Hamilton for the holidays! Elder Elbaba is staying
as well, this will be our 4th transfer together.
We had a pretty good
week this week. We've been sharing the gift with everyone (christmas.mormon.org or navidad.mormon.org).
If you haven't seen the video or shared it yet, now is the time!
We've been focusing a
lot on some of our investigators that are very close to baptism, they just need
to get married! It's a super complicated thing to do with them not being
legal and all. They have to go to a different state where the marriage
laws are less strict, they have to have a passport. One of the couples
we've been dealing with doesn't have any documents at all, so in order to get a
passport they need some documents from Mexico, but they can't go back there, so
yeah... super complicated. My mission has taught me quite a bit about
immigration law.
We've been doing a lot
of service for a less active lady recently. She used to not let the
missionaries in or even really talk to them, but in the last two weeks or so
we've developed a pretty good relationship with her. We helped her
translate today when she took her kid to the doctor, and we also ordered a
prescription for her over the phone. We're going to try and help her get
back into church. Also, another less-active has started coming again.
We visited her a few times, then all of the sudden after over 8 months of not
coming, she started coming! She's now come two weeks in a row, and she
bore her testimony yesterday about how she's had a change of heart and has
decided to make an effort to come every week from now on! Go
less-actives!
I spent some more time
with Dominicans this week. I can understand them a little bit better now,
but it's still a work in progress. I ate tostones with them, which is
basically fried plantain. It was pretty good. I also ate a type of
meat I've never eaten before with a Mexican family. I won't say what it
was, but I'll include a picture...
Really there's not too
much else to put down. We've been super busy, which is really nice,
because the worst times are when you have nothing to do.
The lights look super
good! Hope all is going well with you all at home. Have a great
week!
Love,
Elder Foote
