So first of all, HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY DAD!!! haha sorry i forgot to write that last week. I don't really think or realize what the date is. Crazy its already may. So i hope you had a good birthday and went to rio grande or something! haha So this week was the best. We had a lot of work and it was all great. Just yesterday in church it kinda hit me how much i care about these people. They are amazing. I love this ward so much. Its crazy and disorganized and no one really knows how to do anything haha but their soooooo great. Some of the greatest and most humble people ever. i feel like I've been in this ward all my life its pretty weird. Its very true that you grow to love the people that you serve. The thing is i don't think they have any idea how much we actually care about them. But that doesn't matter. BUt this week was so great. We had some hilarious and bizarre things happen while knocking. I'm pretty sure Satan possesses dogs whenever were near them. But it was so much fun. I love knocking because its actually pretty affective whith Latinos. Well a lot of the time they think were immigration and they run or lie to us haha but usually when they realize were teaching "the palabraaaa" haha they like always let us in. So we got to teach Esperanza this last week again, she is soooo awesome! Its sooo cool to see how far she's come. She's given up so much to be worthy of baptism and everything is working. So were going to get a date from her this week. And i think its going to go well. This week though we've been really blessed with people who are ready to hear and learn and who DONT have problems. ahhh such a huge blessing because we've been dealing with a lot of people with a ton of problems. but were teaching this kid pierre whos 21 and is a members son and hes reading and he came to church and is really likes it!! And his mom is so great. And that crazy peruvian lady Maruja came to church too! She is hilarious and she absolutely loved church. She knows everything about the bible She's come twice now. Esperanza came too! and we met this friend of a member named Paola. She's 21 and has the cutest little baby boy. We taught her the first lesson and it went soooo well. She loved it and she came to church. The members have been helping us out so much more recently, its been so huge. Especially this one member, hermana Perez. This lady is amazing. She totally understands the importance of member missionary work and is always helping us out. She gives our investigators rides and sets up appointments with them and we don't even need to ask her. She awesome. So one day this week we went to move this family(the family with pierre)haha it was the most interesting moving experience ever. all we had was a little pick up truck and we piled this thing like 20 feet high with furniture.. no joke. two loads and we moved the whole apartment. it was so funny. We moved so much stuff though my arms were dead. o and this last Saturday was Mormon helping hands day.. like this big thing they do all over California every year i guess. and so they had this giant event at a park and we went and cleaned up the LA river. ughhhh... grossest thing ever. I cant believe they even call it a river. But it was really fun, there were TONS of people there and stuff. So one night this week we went to this part member apartment with the coolest guys ever. We go there a lot because its full of non members and less actives. All these old guys who work all day every day and send all the money back to their countries. anyway their awesome and we hung out with em and made tacos and listened to mexican music. haha funnest thing ever. And now they like us a bit more and are more comfortable around us. One guy that lives there named Daniel is the most humble guy ever. He's a recent convert and doesn't know THAT much about the church but he's learning and he KNOWS its true. hes the man... Were realllly tight with him. so anyway, that was my week. We just heard osama got killed! yeeeeeaaaaaaaaa. its about time we got that loser!!! haha anywayyyyy. haha so next week i get to call you because its mothers day! next Sunday. I'm not sure but i think I'll be calling at about 3:30 or so. that's 3:30 here so like 6:30 there. Sorry so late but thats the only time we can. I'll try to email you if that changes though. btw.. has annie had the baby yet???? haven't heard anything. mom.. thank you so much for that little package. It was awesome. and i hope you know how useful those little speakers are. We use them all the time to watch movies with investigators. so anyways, love you and I'll talk to you all on sunday! Btw i got to baptize an 8yr old yesterday! haha so great.
Love, Elder Foulger
