Dear Family,
I am glad to hear that someone is planning my future for me, cause I sure could use the help...With the AYSO thing though that would be awesome to see dad coaching again, he was always a great coach!! The AYSO days even though at times it was super stressful and it made for long days, I truly did love those times and the people we got to meet and got to know better through that opportunity!
I am sorry to hear about the car problems with the Smuins that is horrible! I hope all is good now though and you guys are getting around just fine!!!
Dad the new area is over an hour walk so I think that is why other missionaries never went there so to get people to come to church is hard, we have a family though that I found that has come every week and they are scheduled to be baptized the end of May, so I am so freaking stoked about that, and they are awesome!!!!
Now for my week, get ready it was a great week for me, and the opportunities that I had and will have. Lets start off with I have an investigator who loves soccer, he has played his whole life and is still playing; he is a trainer and his kids play. He lives right next to a soccer field cause he loves it so much!! He has asked me to stop by once a week and teach the kids that he is training for just five to ten minutes about God and how to be good!! 'Cause he believes all he has is from God and a Blessing which is true, so when he said that, I was so excited and I can´t wait to work with these kids and teach them hopefully to stay on the right path when there is so much bad here.
The Second thing is this Saturday we had a service project with our entire district ~ so all the churches in Usulutan (Where I am) and we went and cleaned a river. We cut down trees, branches, vines, picked up garabage anything we could to clean it up all Saturday morning. So I took a Macheti and I got in the river( Yes my Mission President said we could get in the water) and started going to town. It was great! Talking with all the natives and other people in the church here, seeing creatures I have never seen before, and insects like crazy! It was so awesome!! I enjoyed it a ton, I felt like it was something that you would watch on the TV about crazy Monsters in the jungle that people would tell stories about or something. It was awesome!! So that is how my week went! Pretty freaking sweet! I love and am so blessed to have this opportunity to serve here in El Salvi!!
Well folks that is all from your local jungle missionary.
I love you all, mom I love you to the moon and back and then some!!
Have a great week!!
