Costco

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Happy 26th of February I suppose. I guess if I can recount the slightly more notable events of the week (not that any event is particularly notable) I'll proceed to do so. 

At the beginning of this week we drove over to Lubbock for a zone p-day and then zone conference the next day. It was neat to be over there definitely the highlight of the trip was the food from Costco referenced to in the subject of the email. I've been going through Costco pizza withdrawals sense leaving home especially because of the frightening disappointment experienced in Mexico so naturally the slice was ever more rewarding. Also I feel privileged because the Lubbock Costco is the only location in the mission. After lunch we spent the rest of the day in Lubbock and stayed at the zone leaders apartment because we needed to be at zone conference the following morning.


Zone conference was just a long meeting to be expected which went until decently far into the afternoon and we had interviews after so that ended up taking the whole day. I had the privilege of driving us back to Clovis (we carpooled with another companionship) and it was a neat drive. 


On Wednesday we did some service in the morning and had a long lesson just before dinner with someone we teach. After our dinner we had english class and then had a small lesson with some folks. The next day was regular without too many details to remark on. 


Friday was a neat day. We usually do service at retirement ranch in the mornings but the fort Sumner Elders invited us to help Bob Jack one of the members in their branch and he owns a huge ranch over there and he needed some help around the place so we went over there to do some service and gave him a little company up at his place. I felt honored to help prepare lunch that we had also. We had some steaks and potatoes and beans and it was all good. He also let us explore the ranch a little bit and it's a neat place. 


Saturday was not quite as eventful we played ultimate Frisbee with members in the morning and went over to Sister Pews in the evening to have dinner and lay down some boards in the living room. After that we went over do David George and Eduardo the folks mentioned on Wednesday and had kind of a chaotic lesson because they were outside having a campfire with one of their neighborhoods and be had super loud music playing and he had a few drinks in him so there were a couple distractions in the lesson but we invited them to church and they said they would be there.


Church on Sunday was good. In the morning one of the folks we’ve been trying to get to church texted and said he would be there also so in total we had 7 new people at church so massive w there it was the 3 we talked to on Saturday and then we had a man and his wife and their 2 small children we haven't had any investigators to church since I've been here so It was epic. The members were all really good and talked to them and 3 of the 7 stayed for 2nd hour and it went really well. 


Anyway I'll end the letter there but there's a bit into the life of a Spanish missionary in Clovis New, Mexico not the most insane deal but it's what It is. We'll see if this week has anything more eventful the transfer is almost done and then it'll be me leading the area so gulp anyway that's all I have to say so bye.

American Day

Goood morning, how's it going on this bright summer morning? This week other than the holiday was pretty normal so this email won't be too long.  Monday we had a regular p day and some lessons in the evening. On Tuesday we had zone conference all the way in Lubbock so that took most of the day as well as English  class. On Wednesday we did an exchange with the other elders here in town it was just for the day but it went good we had some really cool lessons with some of the people we just started teaching not too long ago one of them was at the church with our branch president there as well. We also knocked into some people who invited us in and gave us a Mexican treat it was like an ice cream cone lookin thing filled with Carmel and a pecan or something it was kinda good. On Thursday we had a pretty normal day it rained super hard in the morning. In the evening we went up to Lovington and had a lesson with one of the people who's been coming to church.  On Friday we had ...

The Wild East

 Goood morning how are all of us today? Here we are again another week to write another letter. 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. We knocked doors the whole evening and met some interesting people. Tuesday was pretty normal, we had district council then did our singing service then later in the day we went and did English class. After that we visited some members who are pretty cool then we had a lesson with someone who we just started teaching again.

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 ...
