Well hello family!, ok, soooo theres a new baby??? i barely heard. Someone tell me more i'm anxious to hear. Mom, thank you so much for the packages. We have a ton of candy now. haha and i love the hucks t shirt too! im wearing it right now! haha Anyway, just another great week in El Camino Real ! I'm loving it here. So these last couple weeks, we have been teaching more than we ever have and it has been great. And lately we've REALLY been focusing on member presents which has been helping a lot.
So on saturday we asked Juan Chavez to be baptized. He said he knows its all true, he knows he needs to be baptized, he's scared to die without being baptized, he's just scared to do it cuz its a really big step. We talked him through a lot of it but still, hes scared. So tonight were starting a fast with him so that he can make the decision to do it. haha i hope it goes well.
So one day we had lunch with this lady and then right after we had a cita where we were teaching this guy named Alberto, whos the man. We had a great lesson with him with a member and then he was like "I made you Posole" Posole is a mexican soup with tons of meat and stuff that takes a lot of time to make and theymake it for celebrations and stuff so it was a big deal he made it and we had to eat. haha he gave us the biggest bowels EVER. They were like fruit displays. And this was right after lunch. We were dying but ate all of it and took some to go home. Then like an hour later we found ourselves in another situation having to eat more. We were in this house with giant plates of food and it got to the point where i literally could not eat one more bite. i was trying SO HARD not to throw up. The family left us in a room to eat cuz they had visitors so we were in a room by ourselves with all this food and didnt know what to do. So, im not proud of it but we were desperate. We grabbed some plastic cups and stuffed all the food in them and then put the cups in my bag. hahaha we had no other choice! It was pretty funny though and everything worked out great! Its amazing how food can really humble you down. haha
We were blessed this week and had some new investigators at church. Some really cool guys. We used to only teach middle aged women but now its like all guys. haha its very different but i like it. And were teaching a couple great families and couples! i love teaching couples and them learning together. Recently, great investigators have just been falling into our laps and its been great. So i think i only have a couple weeks left in this area. I mean im not sure but i think so. Its going to be weird going somewhere else. My main goal is to leave every area better than i found it. More progressing investigators, more coming to church.
Anyway, i can't really remember what happened this week, ahh seems to happen every week. But hopefully i'll remember more and write it down. O! so i wasnt verygood at keeping a journal so now im keeping a video journal and i like it so much more! its fun and i think its going to be great in the end.
So thanks for your letters, i hope all is well and you rhaving fun! love you!
Love, Elder Foulger
