Happy January

Good morning. 


This week was relatively successful as far as missionary work goes here. We had a chill Christmas day at home on Monday and Tuesday was our day to have a regular p day to go shopping and other things as such. On Tuesday evening we contacted a few people who might be interested and set up some future appointments. 


Wednesday afternoon we drove over to Lubbock to stay with the zone leaders for a zone conference the next day. We also were able to visit the temple Wednesday night at it was really cool. The Lubbock temple is really small and everything is on the same level but it was quite good. Thursday morning was our zone conference which is just a big meeting with everyone in the Lubbock north zone and the mission president and stuff. That afternoon we drove back to Clovis and we had a lesson with a lady named Gladys and she was quite interested and we gave her a Book of Mormon so there's another person were teaching now. We also visited with another dude named Jerson and taught him a lesson. 


Friday morning we went down to an assisted living home called retirement ranch and we hosted Bible study. It actually went really well we read and talked about it for a full hour. We studied Matthew 14 and Luke 15 with Jesus walking on the water and the parable of the prodigal son and stuff and everyone there really enjoyed it so that was definitely a win. Friday evening we had a lesson with a couple the missionaries here have been teaching for a long time and we're trying to get them to attend church and we read a chapter from the Book of Mormon with them and shared a little thought.


Saturday we cleaned the church and did service at Sister Pew’s house who is getting her house totally redone and we put some boards down in one of the bedrooms for a little bit. After that we drove up to Grady which is the smallest town like almost an hour away but there's a member who only speaks Spanish up there she actually lives like 20 minutes out from Grady so we had a pretty long drive before we got there. We gave her a blessing and spoke to her for a good while but we all had a difficult time understanding her because she spoke very quietly and pretty old Mexican Spanish. There were four of us there by the way and three of us were Spanish elders. After we gave the blessing we drove back and saw a really nice sunset and there were a ton of windmills and plains on the way. After we returned we went contacting and we talked to this guy Paul. He's an old dude who looks kinda like Santa and he (like everyone here) is already Christian but doesn't believe in the Book of Mormon. The thing was he told us he didn't believe in it and he already had a ton of bibles but he still let us share some verses with him and he said he agreed with all the stuff we read and ended up letting us leave a copy with him so hey improvement.


Yesterday was Sunday and we met with the Second Ward again. Apparently we usually meet with just the Spanish branch but since I've been here all our meetings have been combined with another ward. That evening we had dinner with our branch president as usual and just kinda hung out the rest of the night.


Today's letter was kinda long but that was the week today. We doubled our teaching pool from 2 to four so I guess you could say we're doing pretty good. Anyway I'll leave you all to your days


Bye

This week was somewhat eventful so here's a brief explanation for some of the events.  On Monday evening some other missionaries came into town to a mini exchange here in Hobbs but we were both working in our area.

It is well

Goood morning gentlemen and ladies. I suppose a letter is due seeing that this is in fact my last week in the mission field. It's been pretty awesome being out here and definitely the best decision I ever made up until now—is serving a mission. I don't really got too many profound spiritual things to say here so might as well give a little recap.  It's been really great being here in Hobbs and all the other areas meeting all the people specifically the Spanish ones. This last week we met with lots of cool people and taught them. On Monday we met with our friend Mario who's on baptismal date and he's doing well. We talked about the plan of salvation and he said an epic prayer at the end. We also met with 2 other people were teaching who are doing really well and we talked with them about baptism. Tuesday was also good we had a lesson in the afternoon and then English class and some other lessons and stuff On Wednesday we had an exchange with the other elders here in ...
