wussuppp???? hows is everyone?? I'm getting letters again so that's been great! thank you! hahaha mom, your letter was too funny. And your crazy btw. So for those of you who didn't know, mom wrote me a letter on a napkin in the hospital while dad apparently had another kidney stone. eeehhhh, dad sorry about that.. sounds like death.. but glad to hear all is well now! haha Also sounds like girls week was a hit.. well done. mom said price foulger is blowing up? like skiing and stuff? he's too modest and wont tell me wutsup so whats he doing? hes killin some ski competition or something? anywhooo, the field is great! we've had such an awesome week. My trainer is soooo awesome. I don't think i fully appreciated how great of a missionary he is before but hes amazing. We've been working really hard. We've had some great investigator progress and some bad ones. So Maria Villeda, we asked her to be baptized and she said yes! but she doesn't want to have a date yet, so were going to go though the rest of the lessons and then she'll do it. which is fine because we have to anyway haha. But then the next visit we had with her she was super scared because she had to go to court the next day because she has like tons of tickets or something and last time she went they almost threw her in jail. So i was on exchanges but they gave her a blessing of comfort and we prayed for her. Well when she went, she couldn't get a lawyer so she went solo, handed all the stuff to the judge and he just asked, "whats your name?" and she told him Maria Villeda, and he told her, go home, everything is taken care of, all your tickets are gone and EVERYTHING!!! how awesome is that!! such a miracle. She didn't go to jail! so awesome. and she came to church again and loved it. And whats really cool is she lives in a house with a ton of people, all extended family of course, and their all interested and come to church but then are like never at our appointments! haha its weird and kinda backwards because their always at church but then we cant find them to teach them. But i think when Maria gets baptized it will inspire the rest of the family. And their such a cool family. i love em. So were excited about that. I learned this week how in tune with the spirit my companion is, its sooo cool. On several occasions when we didn't know what to do or where to go we prayed about it and he always knew where to go and it worked every time! Every time you follow the spirit it works. So yesterday we had some free time at like 6, so prime time for knocking doors. But in church, my companion came up to me and was just like "we need to go to Gloria's house tonight" he said he just really felt prompted that we should. So Gloria is this lady I've only met once and it was for like 2 seconds. She is never there when we go or anything and we go to her house all the time. She has not been that interested so i was a little confused when he wanted to go. But she has these twin 14yr old boys who are such chamacos (punks). We see them all the time and talk to em. Well last night we went over and she was actually there! like the first time. Well she was not happy and we just sat there and listened to her vent about her sons and then she just broke down crying and gave my companion like a 3 minute hug. I know were not supposed to do that but i think in this situation is was completely appropriate. Her sons are awful and its all because of their father. Their separated but he still lives there to pay the rent. I wanna kill this guy, he's awful to her and apparently hit her the other day in front of the sons. but her sons just take after him and are TERRIBLE to her and are starting to get into real trouble. it broke my heart listening to her and listening to how they treated her. btw, i love you mom:) but it ended up going well. We actually brought with us a proclamation to the world and we read it with her and talked about it and bore our testimony's on family's and everything and i told her about my mom. haha but it was so inspired to go there and at that time. She needed it so bad. Its amazing how real the spirit is. So tonight usually we go out doing work or going to dinner with members or something but were going to play basketball with the twins and some other kids. Were trying to get closer to them so we can tell em wutsup. And the new young mens president is coming who is awesome! this guy use to be in gangs and did it ALL and now he's an awesome and active and married with a sweet family. So hes gonna talk to them a little bit. So I'm excited about that. Well im guessing your sick of hearing about people you dont know, sorry. haha but its kinda my life:) haha o! so yesterday i bore my testimony in the ward! it was the first time i was like suuuper nervous to do it. haha but it was fun. Spanish is great btw i love it. O and this week we had a training for all the new missionaries and their trainers which was awesome because i got to see my mtc buddys again! haha but anyway, all is great, the gospel is so true, and I'm lovin it here. Love you
Love, Elder Foulger
