Well, we are finishing up the transfer with not a whole lot of numerical success, but still some really good experiences and awesome people to teach. I'll try to condense a few experiences of the last few weeks into an email worth reading. The big news is on transfers- I am staying, and Elder Richards is going, which means I'll be getting a new companion. Quite a few Spanish elders are moving around this transfer, so we'll see what happens.
Last week I did an exchange with the other Elders, I went with Elder Lawson into their area, they have some cool people they are teaching, and we had some good lessons. These last few weeks, we have been getting referals from members right and left, which is just awesome, we've had 3 people in the last 3 weeks! One of them is Manuel, a friend of the Vazquez family, another named Carolina, a friend of the Henriquez family, and the last one is the brother of a member and his fiancee, named jared and blanca. They are all really cool. Last week we did an FHE in the Henriquez home, and after the lesson we played "do you love your neighbor", and they absolutely LOVED it. Laughing so much. Thats a great family game. Just last night, we went over to the Battle family's house to teach their brother and his fiancee, and we got to go across the causeway! I can now say I have been across the worlds longest bridge. How exciting! We had a good lesson with them, and, turns out Brother Battle used to be a DJ. And his son is just starting to get into DJ'ing. So we had some stuff to talk about, and I got to see his set up and jam with him a little. So much fun!
Last weekend we had a fathers day activity/fireside/dinner. It went really well, we had a dinner, and then a few members and the missionaries did a few talents/presentations. The missionaries did a little skit where two missionaries are in Africa and they run into a lion, and they run away from him and while he's coming they kneel down and pray that the lion will become mormon and not eat them. Then the lion slowly approaches them and kneels down in front of them and they say "look! the lions mormon!" then the lion folds his arms and says "Dear heavenly father, please bless this food that it will nourish and strenghten me..." and the curtain closes. Just a few minutes before the show, the member who was directing the activity came up and asked me to be the MC! Apparently she asked some of the other missionaries and they said, you know, Elder Cardon would be good for that. Thanks guys. Well, I had fun with it, told a few of my spanish jokes, and made the activity pretty fun.
Well, we've got to go, today we are heading to the world war two musuem!!
Heres some pictures from our last District meeting. The one of four of us is just my district, and the other one is both the districts.
