All is well here in McMinnville...
so you remember when i said that i love the food here.. i still do.. but
it is sad because im forced to be a food addict.. it is soo
frustraiting sometimes. we get fed soooooo much.. I'd have to say every 2
hours on an average day or maybe a little less someone gives us food..
it shouldnt make me mad, i should be gratefull that our investigators
and members likes us.. but come on. it makes me so angry because im
gaining weight i weigh 190 Pounds!! its sick!.. the worst part is that i
can't decline the food.. i think i offended one of our members because i
literally could not keep eating the food. and so they assume i am a
picky eater.. so now ill probably be known as a picky eater in the
ward.. it's frustrating but i dont care. they just dont understand that
my body can only eat so much... i cant even start to describe to you
guys how important food is to them. it is really kind of sad.. on a
happier note, I'm loving everything else in the mission, my companion is
awesome and the weather is FINALLY SUNNY!! it gives me so much
happiness.
We are starting to teach a lot more, we taught 20 lessons.. whoo
hoo.. we still don't have any dates for baptism.. something super
humbling and super cool that we saw this past week is that we went to go
visit one of our investigators who is in a less active
family(actually just the dad). our investigator wasn't there but the dad
was. he let us in.. long story short. he is this scary Mexican.. and by
the end of our "chat" he was crying just opening up his heart to us,
telling us how he wants to change, and how he wants to come back to
church and how he wants to repent of all the things he's done and how he
wants to go to the temple with his wife.. its lessons like that.. that
make me grateful to be a missionary and to be able to help people. its
lessons like that, that makes the mission worth it.. to see someone
change or want to change and come unto Christ.
i look forward to the call this next sunday, love you guys
