Good morning mother,
What a good week!!!!!! My companion and
I prayed together starting out this week so that we could find more new
families to invite to be baptized in june and july and we found 5 new
families!! 4 of them committed to baptismal dates, and 3 of them came to
sacrament meeting! We were just on fire one night and we made tons and
tons of contacts and met a lot of people and it just felt good cuz we
both just felt so guided. We had no idea what to do because 2 of our
appointments fell through, so we just contacted the first house we saw,
then just kept going haha. It was a great day.
So, we moved houses again haha. We are back in the same house that
we were in when I first came to this area (in November... over 7 months
ago.... i know.... that´s a really long time). So we live with two other
elders right now. One´s name is Elder Jensen. He is from Tooele
(pronounced Too-will-uh) haha, Utah. He has 2 months more than I do in
the mission... which means that he has 2 months left in the mission
hahahahahaha. He is a really really good missionary and one of my best
friends, too. we always do gringo chat. He´s a sharp kid.
We are going to Lima tomorrow to go the that conference thing. It
should be super super fun! The elder working in the offices told me that
there are like 2 packages for me that are waiting there so...
Thanks!!!!! Well.... funny story.. true story. Do you remember that one
time that you sent me like a whole bunch of money so that I could buy a
suit? That was the best, thanks! Do you remember that one family that we
got married that doesn´t have any money cuz the guy makes about 5
dollars a week selling brooms to his neighbors and 7 people have to live
off that and we talked to the ward council and they couldn´t help us
out either and it came down to their wedding day and they didnt have any
money so i payed for it? do you remember that? Well I did that. Sorry.
I´ll just come home without a suit. I mean, its blazing hot in Iquitos
and its blazing hot in st george so why whould i need a suit anyways,
right? It kinda seems like a waste of sweat-pore-action that i could use
in more practical situations. That sounds crazy. But it´s super true.
So please don´t send me more money or I will probably just end up
getting stuff that isn´t really that useful or just paying for weddings
when I was supposed to buy a suit. hahahaha. Well, that was awkward.
Love you!!!
Elder Emett
We know Elder Spencer Jensen from Tooele! Our son, Elder Wilson, went to high school with him!
