Hey! this week was full of craziness. We were basically traveling all around the mission setting up and closing houses in different areas. It was really neat to get to know more and more of the mission with every little trip that we took, haha almost every night we got back home around 11so we got to take the car to our house.
We have been teaching a man named Marvin. He is like 60 years old and has gone through a lot of hard things in his life. We had been teaching him to the point of him having a baptismal date. But, he has been having such a hard time with his siblings where he lives and not finding a job that he told us that he is going to run away from his family and start walking to Mexico and hopefully enough to cross the US border. He used to live in LA and was a chef, and worked like that for a long time. He has a son that is around our age that lives there in LA but he has no way to communicate with him. Marvin is an amazing man, and in his life he has had soooo many trials thrown in his was but he has incredibly steadfast faith in Christ.
Its Christmas and that's coolio.
I am bored.
oh!
I got to talk to my family today and they are pretty awesome:) Milo is getting SO BIG!!!!!!!!! its crazy. He is huge. The Boyz are growing up so fast!!!! My family is really cool.
During one of our trips my backpack was in the back of the truck and somebody took it into the house that we were moving stuff into and that area is super far away. Anyway, my backpack has my scriptures and camera and BOP-IT inside. I am going to die. haha.
