Well last monday we played dodgeball as a zone and it was super fun.. after not doing anything competitive for so long it was good to peg some people with some balls.. they were light plastic ones so they didnt hurt but i pegged a few people in the head pretty hard.. it was funny.. my team was good and i was the first pick out of the zone cause we are coordinated in the hatch family.. anyway it was fun and nice to play a semi sport.. then as yall see in the pic last week we choppped or split wood four different times.. it was fun and a lot better then cutting grass with mashettis.. we have been really looking for service opportunities to help us get into more houses and to win the confidence and trust of people.. its a lot of fun though and i dont think i have ever enjoyed serving people so much.. also victor and virginia are a couple that we contacted last change.. we never got into there house but a couple of weeks agoa we passed by again and got in.. they are super cool and love our visits.. the guy is a taxi driver and takes time off from his job in the afternoon when he could probably be making the most money.. he loves our visits and likes how we pray for him and sing hymns in his house.. he says they are always so happy when we visit them.. they are reading the BOM and told us to pass by with ward members and other missionaries so on sat we did with two other missionaries and a ward member.. they are super cool and nice and have a desire to change and follow Christ.. we are gonna put a baptismal date this week with them and they told us they are gonna go to general conference with us hopefully.. please pray for them! then we taught a night of fellowship in our ward and talked about repentance.. it was good and i talked about Alma the Younger and how he changed his life.. also something that i am doing is everynight in my head i go through my day..
i think of the things i did well and things where i could have done better or something different.. i feel like its helping me change and become better cause only through analizing our lives and days we will be able to find places where we can improve and become more like Christ.... also Elder Allen told me a lady we taught in our last area that never really progressed stood up for us when somebody said we worshipped Joseph Smith.. it made me smile though cause although she may never accept the gospel in this life she learned something and stood up for us moromons.. it was cool and i know that a lot of people will accept this Gospel in the next life cause God is just and will have mercy on them depending on their desires.. the other day i ate brocolli.. it was good and cooked with eggs.. we also ate tortillas that were purple.. i took a pic but it didnt turn out.. also we did service on sat and an old lady give us rice water.. it was luke warm and not very good but i had to drink it.. i didnt even get arrigamortis so i was happy about that.. k i am gonna go ok so a kid that ive told yall about named sergio is still learning about the church.. he has gone three times and we are really working hard with his mom to earn her confidence so we can teach her too.. cause we dont want to baptize him cause itd be very likely that hed go inactive.. in his prayer though the other day he asked God to bless that he and his family could be baptized and become members of the church.. it was really cool and little by little we are gonna be able to get to his mom and teach her about the Gospel and all the blessing and joy she can have.. mom and dad.. i need money.. i bought shoes and now i am out again.. if yall could put 100 dollars on there thatd be great.. and do i need to get souveniers for people or am i gonna come back in the summer of 2012.. i was just wondering.. anyway we are doing good with all of the investigators and the work is progressing a lot in carcha.. we hope to have some investigators go to conference with us this weekend..
i know this work is really important and that this church is true! listen to the leaders this weekend and take notes.. they recieve instrucions for us from God and if we heed to there counsels we will be blessed and protected.. i love yall a ton and keep pressing forward. .thanks for all yalls prayers and i pray for yall too!! take care and enjoy conference this weekend!!love yall and hope yall like the pics!!
