Sun in Seattle!

Hola mi familia favorita!!!!

La samana pasada fue un poco mejor. Encontramos algunos potentiales que tienen interest en el evangelio. No hemos a tenido la oportunidad a ensenar una segunda leccion pero vamos a hacerlo muy pronto. Tengo animo que la obra va a hacer algo bueno en el futoro.

Yep, yep, yep that's right.  We did  a lot of tracting this past week.  Some even 6 hour days tracting, but in the end it payed off  and we were able to find several people that seem genuinely interested in the gospel.  At the first of my mission, I really wasn't a big fan of tracting, but now my whole thoughts about it have changed.  I actually really enjoy it now.  We get to meet all sorts of people and personalities, and it always puts a smile on my face.  It is great to see what people's views are.  Everyday we have some kind of funny experience while tracting.  We also have a lot of people that get mad at us for even knocking on their doors, but I have learned to brush off the bad and just continue.

While I was on exchanges with another Spanish elder in my area, we tracted into a man who has just recently moved from Nevada. Turns out that he had neighbors/friends in Nevada that were members and he already had a Book of Mormon!  Legit!  That has only happened one other time in my mission. This guy was still a little confused on what the Book of Mormon was exactly, but we were able to clear that up a little and now he is more interested in reading it.

We tracted into another lady that used to live in California and also has friends that are members and had even been taught my the missionaries in California!!! Unfortunately for us she was just visiting her friend here in Renton and actually lives in Auburn so the Spanish missionaries down there will start to teach her!

We had a young couple on date for baptism, but they fell off this Sunday because they couldn't make it to church. They both work on Sundays and so haven't been able to come in the past but have both requested from their bosses to have Sundays off so they can go to church!  Right now they are waiting for a reply so we will see what happens. They are interested in learning (this is the young man that I wrote about last week that was reading the BOM) but just have way busy schedules.

We are now in the summer weather of Seattle. The rain all of a sudden stopped the first of this last week and it was all sunny and in the high 70's.  I even got a sunburn!  It lasted all week up until today and now it is cloudy again.

 

Gracias por todo. les amo. Que tengan un buen dia!
