helloooooo family!!!!!!!!!!
We had such a great week! ok! -recap. So last email i told you that Juan Chavez was too scared t be baptized so we had a fast with him that he would have the strength to make the step and do it. So the next dayy we went over to end the fast and he was telling us how he feels different about baptism now than he did the day before and he wants to do it! and now he's gonna get baptized at the end of the month! it was amazing! The Lord changed his heart when he showed his faith, it was the best. That taught me how to fast with a real sincerity of heart. Ahhhh he is THE man. And then we ate with him right after to end the fast, his wife made THE most spicy enchiladas ever. Haha i was dying. And then yesterday Luis came to church and loved it! He is trying to make the decision as well to be baptized or not right now. He's such a good guy who just wants so bad to do the right thing. On sunday morning he said he was sitting on his bed and he didnt want to go to church but just really felt like he should, so he did! it was great.
Ok, so this week we had a ton of lessons fall through which was too bad but it was fine because we had a lot of other great things happen. So on saturday EVERYTHING fell through haha so we had the whole day open. At first i was a little down but then we decided we were going to knock all day. We went home, got tons of stuff and camelbaks cuz its crazy hot and then we prayed about where we should go. We divided our map into a couple of sections and prayed about each of them. We ended up picking this area we had never knocked before. Cuz its mostly full of white people. But anyway we went to a neighborhood, which was like a first cuz were always in apartment buildings, but we felt like we should go to this one neighrborhood. We knocked a couple doors and they were full of mean people with big dogs who dont like us.(and my companion is terrified of dogs cuz one attacked him in his mission haha). But then we met this one lady named Pati. Shes from mexico and is a really sweet lady. We sat on these chairs outside her house and talked to her for awhile. after awhile she opened up and told us how much she missed her family in mexico but that she cant see them. And that day, 5 years before was the day her step daughter was killed by her boyfriend. She got really emoional. We ended up teaching her the plan of salvation which she really liked. It was such a great lesson. I really feel like that is exactly where the Lord wanted us to go. To find Pati. We'll see what happens with her, i hope it all works out. Then after that lesson we had a bit of a confrontation with the biggest dog in the world. It looked like the one in Simon Birch. ( Ahh its a horse!) ..seriously giant though.
So the other day we went to just stop by one of our investigators from Peru. She had tonsof family sobrinos there so we got to teach all of them just a little. We did this tea bag lesson about faith where yo ulight a tea bag on fire in someones hand and if they move it it falls over and isnt good but if they dont then it floats in the air right before it burns you. So we did it on this one girl and she got scarred and moved her hand and the tea bag fell! haha it was not good. hahaha but soooo funny. But then we did it again and they got it. haha It was pretty funny and awkward cuz our investigator wants us to marry her daughter and isnt shy about it.
Oh! ok so the other day we had our zone meeting at this place called the rock. Its this really pretty lookout in our area right next to the ocean. so we had our meeting at night and we brought Pierre! haha it was tons of missionaries and him and he loved it. It was such a great meeting where we talked about our purpose as missionaries and then had testimony meeting after. I was so great. ahh i hope Pierre goes on a mission, that would be the best thing ever.
Anyway, its always hard for me to remember everything that happened this week, but was a fantastic week. Im keeping a video log at night cuz the journal wanst working to well. I like it, its fun. I think i just have about 2 weeks left in this area but im not sure. we'll see!
Thanks for your letters! i love hearing from you! o! and candace i saw pictures of brady! looks like a stud and like he's gonna be an amazing skier! Love you!
love, Elder Foulger
