Dear Family!
I am super glad to hear and to see the pictures that Megan had a good time for her Birthday! I was worried that she wouldnt like the gifts that I chose for her! :) Also that school is over and graduation was good and fun and now it is summer time!
Haha summer time...this weekend in Salado was sooo cold! It was rainy pretty much all week! I wore my pajama pants underneath my slacks I was so cold! haha Well this week started out interesting. Tuesday I woke up and got ready for the normal district meeting and as we are heading out the door Elder G informs me that we would be having a division today! So I was parterned up with an Elder from Peru named Elder R. Well Elder R is new and so I had to do part of his daily training with him.
So it went pretty good! It was good not to worry that he didnt know any English like I was worried with my first divisions! Also we were in my area so I planned out the day. These plans included a final lesson with Pat. because she hasnt been really sincere with us. She is super friendly but she hasnt put her effort in to become converted! So the lesson I planned out was like all or nothing. So we go and right off the bat she announces to us she has recieved her answer and she wants to be baptized! And she asked me to perform the ordinance! It was really cool! I was so suprised! We have been working really hard with her doubts and now she is so assured! I was really impressed! But the baptism is postponed for the next Saturday so I will be sending pictures! :)
Well the next day I had another division with Elder R only in his area! And he is training also so I had to do part of that with him but the funny thing was he doesn't know his area very well poor guy so our day was spent walking a lot! And then at 8 o clock at night it started raining like I have never seen! With so much wind! And Elder R was the only smart one to bring his umbrella! So if you could imagine us sharing this little umbrell fighting the wind and rain for 2 miles until our house that is how we were :) it was pretty awesome! haha
Since it was really cold and wet our week was a slow one, but I tried my hardest and tried to work my best! As you know that we only have cold water to shower with so I took a few sponge baths with boiling water which was miserable but the life of a missionary is not a comfortable one! It was really funny to me, my body hurt but I was happy, I dont know how to explain it haha.
But only 45 people attended the meetings on Sunday so it was sad. We passed by a few people that didnt attend but it was hard to motivate them to attend when the dont have anything to protect themselves fromt the rain and the cold! Something funnny that happened is that i stepped in this puddle of mud and it consumed my shoe and dirtied my sock! So when we went to the M's house and when I started complaining about it she made me take my shoes off and my socks off and they dried them with the fire they had! I felt so bad for her and when I asked her to let me do it she told me No it was the least she could do because I brought her back to the church and changed her life for the better. This really touched me so I couldnt really fight against it! Enjoy the photo!
Well this week was good! I had good divisions with Elder R and Elder R. They are learning and will be good missionaries :) I love you and I will write more next week!
Love,
Elder Milton
