The Weather Has Been Cooler

So Mom and Lauren are at Girl´s Camp, huh? Há, good luck with that. You know my opinion on the whole thing: You can´t call it “camping” if you spend a week in a cabin. Camping requires the use of a tent.

So this week the cold spell that we´ve been having went away, and now the weather feels a bit like Southern California, or something like that.

This week I got excited because we thought that we could mark Rita´s baptism...but when we went over to the appointment she was sick in bed, so we returned three days later. And, of course when we show up there, José has returned, not drunk, but still there. Yeesh. I´ve been teaching her since January, thought that we finally had her ready, but now we´re back to square one. It was pretty frustrating, but we´ll see how it goes.

I dunno if I mentioned, but about three weeks ago we got a reference for someone that wanted a Book of Mormon. We delivered it and taught the first lesson to a woman named Joice. She´s a newlywed and her and her husband live not too far from the bishop´s house. She was really excited to read, and we were really hopeful that she progress quickly. The only problem is is that she has to go to a job training in a city about two hours away from here every day, so she has no time for us for the next month and a half. She´s a good investigator, just way busy right now.

Also, I´ve been improving my phone conversation skills these past few weeks. We have lunch with a different member in the ward every day except P-day. Everyone in the ward gets a calender so that the know who´s day is who´s. The only problem is that about half the ward never remembers to check their calenders or forgets, so we have to constantly call to find out if their remembering. Both Elder R. J. and M. took care of that when they were here, but since Elder C. has only been here a month, I usually have to speak to the people. I feel encouraged that I make enough sense on the phone for people to understand me.

Well, as always, ´till next timey.

Excelsior!
