hi family!!!!!
ok so, thank you everyone for writing, im loving your letters. It sounds like everyone is doing well and having fun. I wish i could write more letters to all of you but i have like no time. Im excited to get a letter to hear that candace had the baby! hang in their dace, it will come! haha O and meagan had suregery? crazy, i hope everything works out. The letters from the kids are sooo cute, i LOVE them. gosh i miss those little kids.
So everything is awesome, we had a CRAZY week. We had some awesome lessons and some bizzarre experiences. We got to teach Juan Chavez more and he's doing so great. Were hoping to have a baptismal date with him soon. We taught him some commandments this week and all went well with that. he doesnt drink or anything, he's soo awesome i love that guy. We've also been teaching this guy named Luis who's awesome, just in a really hard situation. O and were teaching this family from peru who is sooo great. So we went over the other day to teach them right after we had lunch. We got there and they took us outside and had this HUGE lunch set up for us. haha we had no idea and had just eaten. Then we finished the food and they left the room and my companion and i were like my gosh were sooo lucky we fit all that. And then right then they came out with two more huge plates of food. i wanted to cry. i have never eaten so much or prayed so much in my life. And somehow (with a lot of help) we finished it. they are awesome and they want to come to church but the husband doesnt want them to. We finally met him and were hoping to change his mind soon. Also, the mom wants us to marry her duahgters... that was kinda awkward. haha
Ok, so lately i've been working on making lessons more fun and using a lot of demonstrations and stuff and i think its helping a lot. We've been doing this one with candles that is soo cool and really shows people the need for a restoration. Demostrations are so crucial because its really hard to keep peoples attention... especially Latinos. Im trying to figure out a cool one for the Plan of Salvation cuz its a really long lesson.
ok ,so last week my companion and I went on a search for hammocks. We found these awesome mexican hammocks in this little store and got em! and now were sleeping in hammocks! haha we took our beds out and set them up in our room. haha their som awesome. Also, something interesting.. I have to go to court tomorrow:( I was a witness to a guy beating his wife and now i have to go testify!!!! ahhhhh. haha i told my mission president and he just said say as little as you can and only talk when your asked. haha hopefully it all goes well.
So this week we have found some amazing people to teach. We have been praying to find people who are ready and are being blessed with people. we've been blessed with a ton of opportunities to teach and great people. We found this one family and found out one of the sons in the family is mormon. He's 21 but the rest of his family arent embers. We taught the family a lesson called a tea bag lesson thats really fun and cool. its about faith. They really liked it and one of the daughters who's like 18 and kinda going through a rough time wants to come to church now! We taught the parents last night and have another appointment this week. I really like this family, their aweosme.
Well, there is so much going on and were teaching so many great people i wishj i had time to tell you all about them. Its great though. Be safe and keep writing, i love your letters!
love, elder foulger
