Hola familia,
Not
a whole lot new to report on this week. We are still finding some good
people to teach, not a ton of progress from our current investigators.
No great stories this week, just some Restoration and Book of Mormon
lessons. I will say, sometimes they're not exciting, but wow I'm going
to miss it when my mission is over. Anything pales in comparison to
helping people get into heaven.
We
had a Fiesta de la Pascua. It was great. The Branch met up in a park,
made some awesome meat and hid some eggs for the kids. Just a good time.
I've really come to appreciate church activities on my mission. Like a
big 'ol family getting together to have a good wholesome time. The
spirit is just so there, like an activity sanctioned by God. You just
feel the real genuine love there too. Maybe it's just because I love the
people here so much. I think when I get home I might have to just go to
Spanish branches. There's a video someone took that I'm going to try to
find for yall.
We are
always out of the apartment by 10am, so we go do the rest of our studies
in public, sometimes at a park, usually at the library, but sometimes
at the Hospital. Particularly when the library is closed and we need
Wifi or its just too hot or cold to study outside. Well this time we
went we stopped and gave cards to a couple Hispanics sitting in a
waiting room. And once they saw that we spoke Spanish, they asked if we
visit people, we said we could, and they asked if we could go and visit
the guys wife, who was in critical condition. So we did! Well the
daughter took us up and she explained that she had a heart attack and
has been brain dead for the last 3 weeks. We shared James 5:14, and
offered to give her a blessing and we did! It's was pretty neat. Last we
heard shes still in there, hope all is well with them. Neat experience
though.
Sorry not much else to write about this week :/
Love,
Elder Hogg
