A lot
happened this week. I got a new companion. I got hit by a car. I went through
the temple. In Spanish! my whole life changed pretty much. But is not that
interesting, So Im going to write about two people who I love, and who are
interesting!
The first is
a less active member named Carlos. He has lived quite the life. I don{t know
what the specifics are because he talks fast, but I do know some things. First.
he has blue eyes. that's really rare here. everyone has brown. hes about 35 and
has a ex wife who isn't a member, that me and elder allasia actually taught a
couple times. he has a 21 year old son. now he has a six month old daughter
with his girlfriend rose. Sometime in the middle of all that he went through
the temple, so he has the priesthood, and garments. he does our laundry, and
almost everyone knows him here. Ive been teaching him since day 2 here. this
week Carlos and Rosa had a marriage interview with the bishop. They're planning
on next month. They're both active now and theyre my favorite people. In a year.
Ill be going to the temple with them! To be sealed! I hope and pray anyway..
haha
The second
person is a little harder to talk about, hard because I didn't realize how
strong they are, and how important they are to me, my life, and my testimony.
My mom had
eleven kids. She has worked full time the whole time she raised us. Because of
her six missionaries have preached the gospel, and almost all her daughters are
mothers. WOW. Shes done much, much, much, MUCH more than that but to be
short... There's a recent convert family and the mom reminds me of my own. her
two boys are undoubtedly the best two kids i've meant here. The other day in our
lessons with her, she was struggling. She doesn't {t know everything about the
gospel, shes stressed, a lot of things. as she explained these things with
tears in her eyes. I somehow talked the best spanish I ever have, and told her
how much I respect her, how she reminds me of my mom, how my mom endured to the
end, and I know she will do the same.
The spirit
was a little intense. haha. What Im saying... Go hug your mothers. Remember the sacrifices they've made for us. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what
happened to me, new companion, frustration, fury, discourage, because my momma
taught me a lot, and what she didn't teach me, my dad did. My family will be
together forever, and Im helping others feel the same peace.
now...SOMEBODY
PLEASE
Tell me how
many people live in ferron and the area it covers.
