hi family!!!!!!! how are you????
K so we had a very interesting week, like always! So this week we actually didnt have nearly enough time to work because we had so many meetings and stuff. See, we've been practicing a ton and preparing for this fireside that we just had. And all the time and work was totally worth it! it was amazing! Ok so what we did was we made like a tour through the chapel and had a bunch of different groups. there were 4 rooms that we decorated HEAVILY and had 2 missionaries in each. When the people got to the room the missionaries had memorized things about different subjects. There was one about geneology, families, Christ, and the Restoration. It was soooo awesome! and then at the end everyone came into one room and the missionary chorus sang (which i was in ! haha) and then we had our mission president talk and then the stake president talk. and then the missionary chorus sang the Spirit of God and then everyone sang togethter in the last verse. it was sooooooooo powerful ! everyone was crying, possibly me as well, haha it was soooo good. And it was sooo cool when everyone sang together, usually latino's CAN NOT SING haha like at all. But it sounded soooooo good and it was sooo loud. ahh it was amazing! And in between the whole thing we had mormon messages playing. which are SO good! o btw, i'm guessing you already know this but i didnt. I was watching them the other day when we were preparing and Stephanie Nielson has one on there. Like the whole story of her plane crash and her recovery and everything. it is very powerful, i really liked it. thats a really hard story. You guys should all go on mormon.org though. it is sooo cool now. and watch all the mormon messages cuz their sooo powerful. Promise you'll do that? k thanks! o btw i forgot but i was on tv! hahah like during General conference in between sessions they showed a thing in the mtc when i was there and i was in it a couple times ! yeaaaaa hahaha
So we've been teaching this lady named Lily and her mother and daughter. We've taught them three times now. and last time we had an awesome member come with us, hermana Perez. She's amazing, this lady. Always doing missionary work. So we've had some GREAT lessons with them and they came to the fireside! which they loved!! ahh it was sooo cool. I wish more of our investigators could have come to it but not many could. But so Lily and her family, their catholic but are loving the lessons. appearantly her husband doesnt like us though or the fact she's taking the lessons but she doesnt seem to care haha. So were going to meet with her again tomorrow! And juan chavez is sooo great. Although he's been organizing this giant soccer tournament for charity so he couldnt come to church and the thing is next sunday so not next week either. but hes still great and progressing.
So i used this recorder thing a lot and i recorded a thing for the aaronic priesthood too. I'm going to try and send that off today. and i put it in my shirt pocket when we were knocking doors! haha and so you can hear us doing that. i just did a couple though. and we listened to it after and we were like NOOOOO haha w realized how gringo our accents are. haha their coming along but take time.
So transfers are coming up, i dont know whats gonna happen. i hope i stay one more transfer, i asked to. haha but im not sure. Its just like, we just really organized our area and things are really starting to happen. haha i dont want to leave! So the saucerdocio in this ward is kinda lingering and the bishop has been looking for help so my companion and I have been thinking and praying a lot about what we could do to strengthen it the best we can. And we decided that it needs home teaching. See there really is no home teaching in this ward and i think its something small that can go a long way. But the thing is no one does it. - I think its because they dont know how. So we came up with this plan to go on splits(my companion and I) every friday, saturday, and Sunday from 7-9 with home teachers and go with them on their visits. This way, they start doin their visits, we get more work done because were split, and the members really learn how to do it. I really hope it helps. We did it for the first time the other day and it worked great, i loved it!
Anyway, love you all, be safe! have price write me about this Ben guy haha
Love, Elder Foulger
