Neighbors

Hola everybody! It's been another great week in Texas!! One thing that happened this week that's cool was my companion's bike got a flat tire!! It was late in the evening and we only had an hour left to be out and about. So there was only one thing we could do knock doors! We found this really amazing family and have already taught the kids twice because of this! Their parents know lots about missionaries from taking lessons in Mexico a while back. They have four kids living with them and the oldest is 12 and the youngest is 7. I know that God works in mysterious ways! Always look on the bright side of things because a bad thing could be for a good reason and almost always is! 

Monday in the evening there was a ward activity that we went to at the church. We had nachos and played volleyball and had a little spiritual message. It was a lot of fun to hangout with some people in the ward and get to know them! Tuesday we saw one of the people we teach, a 14 year old boy outside his house playing basketball so we stopped and played with him for a little bit and shared a quick little message with him. We also talked to a lot of people and met someone named Rosa and taught her the restoration. She has a lot of faith and I'm excited to teach her again this upcoming week. 

I am realizing that I am learning Spanish so quickly. I was able to understand and participate in the discussions at church Sunday entirely in Spanish. It's still hard but the hard work and blessings from God are coming!

I think I am starting to get used to the missionary thing and get used to speaking two languages. It's always hard to know whether to speak English or Spanish but you just pick and go with it until the person you're talking to switches languages. I have included pictures of our neighbors below!
