Hola.
Here is an excerpt from my letter to President Castro:
"This was a great week. We are teaching lots of people. I love it!
So we are teaching Karen. We have been teaching her since Hermana Howell and I got here, and she has been progressing the entire time. But this past week we had lost her, we couldn't find her. We went by multiple times to find her because she never forgets our appointments and we weren't sure what could have gone wrong considering the last lesson we had with her was the Word of Wisdom, and she loved that lesson! But finally we found her, and she felt so bad. But her new job just made her really busy. But we managed to have a lesson with her and gave her a Proclamation. We think that she will really like it! She said she will read and pray about it.
We met with a less active named Monty. He is very cool. He hasn't been able to make it to church because of knee problems. He got surgery and now he is recovering. So we came over and read a talk from the last General Conference: "You Can Do it Now" Monty really liked it!
We met with Manuel. He is cool. He really is doing better now that we teach slower and ask lots of questions. We taught him about Christ's Earthly ministry. Manuel hadn't really ever read the Bible, so this was a really good lesson for him. And he has agreed to a church tour! We are excited about that.
We met with this man named Ivan. I feel like I have mentioned him before, he works for BYU. He sells rare books to BYU. And she he knows all about it! Well, Ivan has a lot of potential. He is a good man. And he has many confusions on what God's plan is for us. And well...really who God is. And we really try to talk with him about it. And he has told us that he has never talked to anyone about his beliefs until we came along. So that is pretty neat. We feel that he knows there is something different about LDS people. We want to help him see why!
We had Stake Conference! It was so great. I loved it a lot. We had a fantastic adult session in Santa Barbara. It went really well. There were many great speakers and videos shown. I loved it because there was a youth speaker who talked about being anxiously engaged in hastening the work of salvation. And she said, "That to me means we should be anxiously engaged in being a good friend." Because that is totally missionary work right there. And when are a good friend you will see that this gospel that we have would help everyone else around us, so we will share it by our example. And by talking about it. The Sunday session was great too! I loved hearing from Salt Lake City."
That is pretty much my week. I really love it here in Solvang!! We have a lot of fun and the work here is just booming. And I don't know if I have told you about our investigator, Erik, before...but he left for Mexico for a month right after we had finished teaching him all the lessons. And so we were freaking out! But turns out, today he is coming back!! We are excited to see him and see how he is doing. We hope that he kept in mind all the things we taught him before he left. (aka: Word of Wisdom, Law of Chastity, Keeping sabbath day holy, etc.).
I love my new camera!!! So much!!! I will definitely be taking more pictures haha. I am on the lookout for a new case, I may buy one today because Hermana Howell and I are going to walk around Solvang today. (We're buying more of the pastries from that picture of our party with Ivan). Haha, it was YUMMY. I hope that all is well in Missouri. I am so happy to hear that the illness has left the Ah Mu Family!! I am so happy to hear that Jason is going on a mission. IT'S THE BEST THING. I always feel so unworthy of the many blessings that come from serving the Lord. I love it, and I know that I am in His field. We have to leave the harvest to Him. We just need to be those fully functional instruments for him.
I have exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders this week. The ones assigned to us are Hermana Siddoway and Hermana Linford. I'm excited. Exchanges really help me! Also!!! Presidents interviews are coming up NEXT WEEK. We love having interviews with the mission president!! The is one of the last ones I'll have with President Castro. But anyway, those are some things I am REALLY looking forward to!! :) Have a great week Everyone. Enjoy the pictures...
Happy Martin Luther King Day!!
Love,
Hermana Ah Mu
Our little party with Ivan. He says if you're going to eat, then must do it right! And serve it in a nice way. Haha.
