It has been another great week here! I love the people here, and Sister Skanchy and I are having such a great time! The members in the ward are amazing! We basically never go tracting because we find almost everyone through referrals! I am so thankful, because it is pretty darn cold outside right now :)
One of those referrals that we contacted yesterday, Harry, was SO elect. Completely golden. He is getting some treatment at the hospital today, and he told us he would have the Book of Mormon read in 2 weeks while he recovers. And then he set up his own return appointment and told us not to forget three times. It was a complete role reversal in the best way possible! We're so excited to teach him!
We just have taught so many amazing people this week! It is such a thrilling, put-you-on-the-edge-of your-seat anxiety producing, joyful, satisfying experience being a missionary. I want these people to accept the truth so badly! Peter is searching so much, he just needs to read and pray! And Kathy knows it's true, she just needs to overcome her fear of change! And Lindsey's Heavenly Father is waiting for her to pray and ask how He feels about her! I love these people and I love being a missionary! I don't know why, but I am so blessed!
So there are a lot more Hispanic people here than there was in WV, and I wish I knew Spanish! It would make things so much easier! I think it will be one of my life goals to learn it. And I know the subject to this email is making you wonder, so yes, I did eat cow tongue this week. One of the cute Hispanic families in the ward fed us cow tongue tacos (there is some sort of fancy Hispanic name for that, but I can't remember it) last night. It tasted like hamburger...but with a different texture.
Last PDay we went and visited the newspaper with some other Sisters. It was super fun, and an awesome view of the valley. Here's some pictures.
Sister Skanchy and I also went to a conference with President this week at the mission home, and it was such a cool experience! I love the Salisbury's, and how dedicated to the gospel they are! We also got to have a sleep over with the Forest V. sisters the night before, because they rode with us up to the mission conference! Sister Tafea is in the companionship, and it was so fun to see her! I hadn't seen her since we first got here7 months ago, so it was awesome!
All in all, I think that is about it! Love you all, and I'll pray for you!
Sister Ward
