Happy
fourth of July,
Today should be a fun one, we have had a barbecue planned for the
last week and it should be fun activity this afternoon. However, the weather here
is questionable, the previous days have said to rain up to today and none of
them rained until last night and it looks like our fourth will be a wet one.
And then tonight the plan is to watch the fireworks off the rooftop of our
apartment, I hear this is a huge holiday here, and it should be exciting to
see.
Yesterday we got permission to go to Costco from our zone leaders
and I bought the magic bullet, super excited. One of the elders here has one
and I used it and now I'm hooked, it makes really good protein shakes.
This
week as far as investigators go is still fine, sadly we are losing more than we
are gaining, but we have a lot of potentials that we found and hopefully we can
get appointments with them and pick them up as investigators. Juan has a
baptismal date, but so far it has been difficult to find him and teach him, so
we'll see where he goes from here. We picked up our investigator's daughter,
here name is Maria she is probably in here late twenties she is the daughter of
Delmira. Then on a highlight we finally contacted Guillermina or rather she
contacted us, come to find out she lives in Detroit Michigan at the moment, but
she says she wants to come back, see elder Stubbs, and what blew me out of the
water is she also said she wants to be baptized, which is a real shock since we
have been pushing this for so long and she never has excepted it, I don't know
if she is playing the emotions, but we will see; she says she is coming next
week and we have a appointment to take her to the VC next Wednesday. Zefferina
I believe is the same old same old, we have a appointment with her tomorrow so,
we will see how she is doing and I'll let you know Monday.
My
companion Elder Hatch is super nice and yes he still works hard, to an extent,
he is a great guy and everybody loves him, I think so as well, however there a
few things about him that really bug me, but I'm not going into detail on that,
but that is the general for Elder Hatch.

so it don't think the tomb of the unknown soldier is part of my mission, I've
never heard of it before. I do believe if I remember correctly it is on the
other side of the Potomac which is part of Gary's mission.
Also
I did get your guys care package, thank you so much, I especially loved the
cookies, not admitting to anything, but I may have almost ate them all already,
you were right when you said they were my favorite. Also thank you for the
green drink and the probiotics they have really helped.
I'm
glad you had fun at Lake Powell this week, I'm not going to lie, I kind of
wanted to be there and it had it's moments that affected me this week, but
nothing I could really do, but I kind of miss doing fun stuff like that. For
some reason i feel like I am the only missionary who is affected by this kind
of stuff, like everyone else is on a higher plane of living the me, not sure
how they do it.
The
language dad, is well.........enough said, still working on it to say the
least, I'm just a very slow learner that is all.
I've
seen some of the pictures from trek, sadly none with Jackson, but sounds like
they had fun, where did they go? Plus Jackson with his parades and all sounds
super cool, should be a good experience for you Jackson, hopefully it's not to
hot.
Life
is good, just having a little trouble making progress, and it kind of hold me
back, but I'm doing my best.
I'll
send my spiritual thought in a another email.
Love,
Ethan
