Mis
viente añitos [my 20 little years]
Hey everyone, I'm 20! I
look the same. I was kind of expecting to have the same kind of bodily
reaction as Jim Carrey as the Grinch when his heart grew 3 sizes. But no. My
body, however, did react to being served way too much food for my birthday.
It's for that reason that I didn’t make the cake that y’all sent.
Oh, yeah, I got that package you all sent! It was nice. The
sprinkles card was good for my sophisticated level of humor. I must say,
however, and this pains me to say it: the monkey card wins. Congratulations,
Sister Adlish! You just can’t beat the classics.
Hey, the Cruz family
got baptized this week! That was nice. They are the eternal
investigators that we luckily got to baptize. The Spirit was strong there
during the ordinance, and the nice thing about baptizing eternal investigators
is that they already know the ward.
After weeks of not
finding them, we were able to teach Rosa and Pepe (Pepe is the pensionist's
cousin). This is exciting, because his wife, who was raised super Catholic,
listened very intently this time and recognized the spirit. Something
exciting about this is that this could be the key to activating all of that
extended family (imagine huge families like Quirk or Hansen being inactive in
our stake, and just replace that with the name Trujillo, and that's the goldmine
we almost have).
Also, Martha Wilson
and her family are coming along. Martha is the less active that we
miraculously found by talking to her in the street, (she doesn't show up in the
directory). Her daughter and her partner responded positively to the
awkward "so, you two getting hitched, or what?" invitation.
Some exciting things
happening here! I think it calls for some Pollo a la Brasa [chicken a la hot coals-must mean barbecued
chicken] today. Speaking of which, I think I'm getting worse with
money now. I'm not sure if it's because of the fact that any currency
that isn't the dollar looks like Monopoly money. But no worries.
Pollo a la Brasa is important.
Love you all and hope
you're doing well.
