This last week was fantastic! Elder Cook and Elder Eyring gave my favorite talks probably, although its a bit tough cause a bunch of them were PERFECT for our investigators that went. We had a number of people there, and Mary even went to ALL of them!!! Heck, I didn't even do that til the mission... haha
Today being fast Sunday, we're fasting for all the people that are trying to get married, but theres always something like work or an emergency that keeps them from doing such a simple thing as going to pull out a marriage date. We taught the law of the fast to everyone this last week, and with the three couples preparing for marriage and baptism, we are all fasting together so that we can work everything out all right and soon.
I'm a little sleepy right now, I spent the night in the hospital 2 nights ago because a zone leader (Elder Lopez from Argentina) has a spinal cord injury and can't feel his hands and has a ton of neck and head pain. Today I'm spending the day with him again, so it should be pretty fun :) Poor guy got a pretty lousy room too, with the oxygen machines for the urgent care, and construction right outside it's been hard to sleep. He got to watch Harry Potter 6 and the Simpsons on a huge plasma TV though, so it made up for it hahahaha weird.
Yesterday was President's BDay so we're surprising him by taking him to this SUPER nice grill place owned by a member! It's usually like $25 a plate but he's doing it for free!! Good family! heh
Elder Crandell and I are working super hard, having tons of fun, and seeing lots of success! Constantly finding new people preparing for baptism. This area is so full of people ready to hear the gospel, I wish I could stay here forever!
I'm finally going to get caught up with all the letters I'm debted to everyone for today since I'll be chilling in the hospital alone all day, so you all that wrote me can expect a response finally haha Sorry I've been so terrible about it.
I love you all so much and am grateful for your prayers! Please keep working hard at all you do and be happy and grateful for all that you have! Even roller coasters! I expect some pics pretty soon in the mail of your trip! Good luck Jase, don't pee yourself on Apollos Chariot! hahaha Have fun watching the kids, mom!
Happy Birthday to Michelle and Anabell this last week!! Happy Birthday to Levi this coming week!!!
Loves,
