I was thinking that you might be thinking about me
yesterday.. hahha. Yesterday was awesome!! Let's see... woke up to Feliz
cumpleaños!! haha. then we went to church and in Gospel principles our teacher
didn't show up. So me and Elder Pinedo taught the class! We taught like 8 people
the restoration pamphlet. had 2 investigators at church. I gave the prayer in
sacrament. After church we went to Family Rodriguez's house for lunch (Can you
accept the friend request for my profile, she posted photos but it didn't let
her tag me in it because I wasn't her friend. Lilia Rodriguez, I think that's her
first name haha). We ate millanessa's, rice, bread, and a huge American flag
cake! It was good. Oh and fast Sunday is different here, they start with Saturday night the fast here so yea, wasn't breaking my fast don't worry.
What
else.. taught 2 more families who are investigating and are awesome
families...... hoping for a baptism this next month.... ;) haha. Oh yea and
when we came back to the house in the night Elder Pinedo had made me a cake the
night before (because we had some time to make it last night), but we ate
yesterday night. He was all excited haha it was really funny!! He decorated
the top with sugar and matches to light haha. It was a fun day!!! Little bit
different than with you guys but it was good :)
What else happened this week...
One of the kids that we were teaching his family asked me if I was from Spain
so that's good!! He didn't think that I was from the US which means my Spanish is
getting better!! But I don't like the accent of Spain Spanish so I'm going to
work on that ;)
Tell Dan I said thanks for the packet of letters!! It was
awesome!! I have a lot of reading to do now!! haha. Thanks to everyone who
wrote something too! I didn't get a package this week but we'll see if in the
next month it comes. It rained this week again so that was cool. I was told it
usually doesn't rain this much but I don't mind it!
Lets see.. what else has
happened... Last week for PDay we ate in Herma Rodriguez's house with a bunch
of other missionaries which was fun!! Still haven't found the Rugby jerseyIi
want but I haven't given up cuz hey, I'm a Hakes/Brinkerhoff, and we dont quit
no matter what. So, yea going to find that jersey someday in the future. Today
we are going to have lunch with one of the members in Elder Pinedo's 2nd area
because he ends the mission pretty soon and wants to go say goodbye. So that
should be good! Lets see, everyone is telling me my Spanish is really good but I feel like its just alright. I don't know haha. Lets see, ah!
This week we
worked really really hard and prayed and prayed for new investigators and guess
how many we found. 2.... 3.... 4.... NO!! 17!!! Yea!! Our district and zone
leaders didn't believe us for a minute!! haha. But in reality, we put our trust
in the Lord and went to work. It's amazing what He will do for us when we ask
for help, show our faith by our actions, and pray for help. He ALWAYS helps us.
ALWAYS. We just need to ask for the help.
Love you guys and have the best week
ever!! I got some work to do but talk to you guys in a week!! ;)
Con amor,
Elder Hakes
