Week #53

Hey family!

How is everyone doing?! I hope super good! It sounds like last week was a good week! I am sad to hear that Mike is still a little bit sick with his nasty cough but I hope he gets over it sooner than later!

The Phoenix Temple dedication sounded so cool! I would've loved to hear the Dedicatory Prayer! Now there are 2 temples I will have to visit when I get back and I am so excited :)

Thanksgiving is so close! It sounds like its going to be a blast! I am quite jealous :) but it will be one that I hope people remember always for Mom and Mike´s sealing! Megan will be Black Friday shopping! That will be so fun! Her dress also looks so pretty! Her hair is still so long! Kali´s hair too! Its so pretty! :) I am sad to see poor Kodys face! Poor guy sleep screams and sleep walks, two deadly combinations!

We started the week out with a service project at Hermana Cs house! We would empty her well and then clean it in the rain! Luckily Elder S was willing to drop in there and clean the deepest part! It wasn't too deep! About 8 meters but it was a cool and uplifting experience :) (no pun intended Mike)

This week would unfold to be an interesting but good one! We would start it out getting right to work and trying to really focus on some of the less actives and the members. Then we would go to Santa Rosa to have a training and our interviews with President McM. Well we got there on time and were studying when he called us up saying that he just left the other area and would be there in 2 hours this was at 12 PM so I decided we would go work and proselyte in Santa Rosa for two hours which was really good! 

He then called me saying they were 20 minutes away so we found our way back to the chapel and started studying again. He calls me in 5 minutes saying they were met with some protesting and didn't know when they would arrive. 3,000 people decided to protest against their debts so that was really weird but it was a peaceful protest! So we go out and work again and he finally calls me at 6 PM saying he was 5 minutes away! 

My interview went really well, we mostly talked about the Unity and its struggles. I expressed to him that I wouldn't want to leave San Pedro because I feel like I haven't left it any better than when I found it! So we will see in a couple weeks if the Lord grants my wish! But he was glad that I was being diligent and that we were working hard and that San Pedro will progress. So it was a great interview! Our training wouldn't end until 9 and we wouldn't catch a bus until 2 AM and get home at 3 AM. But it was so worth it! The Lord blessed me and I wasn't even tired the next day when I had to wake up at 6:30 AM like usual!

We had our branch conference so we had to get up early and travel 3 hours to Santani! So we woke up at 3 and headed out at 4 AM. It was a great conference! Presidnet McM was there and it was a good turn out! Hermana C came and I think she really liked it! We would travel back and I was pretty beat! But it was a great conference! Unfortunately the L family was still traveling but we will be focusing on them this week!

The weather has been really good! My health is good! There really is nothing I can complain about except my attitude that I need to better, but I am working and I am grateful to have this time on my mission and all these crazy experiences! It makes it fun and unforgettable! I love you and I will write more next week!

Love Always,
Elder Milton
