Well, this is the first week in a long time that we didn't get any more snow. I think now that it has been awhile since it snowed, I am ready for it to be spring. I love the snow, and if it comes again, I won't complain, but it would be nice to warm up a bit and move on with the seasons. The forecast for this upcoming week looks awesome. We had to get our car fixed this morning, and they had the news on in the waiting room, so I saw the forecast. haha. It is supposed to be up near 50 all week, with close to 60 on friday. I'm excited. It'll be nice to not freeze while we are tracting.
So this week wasn't amazing. There is not a lot that happened so yeah. We had a Zone Conference on Wednesday which was really good. We talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and the role that it plays in making a lasting conversion to the gospel. It got me thinking of what I can do to improve my mission. It was good. I also got to meet the Elder that is from Cambodia. He's been out here for just under 5 weeks, and he is hilarious. He's a small guy - -about 5 feet tall, and has a classic Cambodian personality. He laughs at everything. It's way funny. His name is Elder Ang. He obviously speaks Cambodian, and his English is pretty good too. I'm excited to get to know him. He also knows all of the Elder's that were in my MTC district, so that's cool. He said that there is another Elder coming out from Cambodia soon too. I talked to one of the APs and he confirmed that, so sometime within the next 3 months, we will have 2 native Cambodian Elders, which is awesome.
So besides the Zone Conference, the only other notable thing I can think of to mention is one of our investigators named Jessica. We have taught her a few times, and each time we have talked about the Book of Mormon and how she can gain a testimony of it. When we first met her, she didn't accept a baptismal date, but after the second time we met with her and talked more about it, she accepted one for March 20th. She said that it is something she needs to really study and think and pray about, which makes it very frustrating when we go over and she hasn't read. We read the chapter with her that she didn't read, and then talked about it - she is very sincere when we are over at her house, but I think she gets busy when we're gone and doesn't think about it much. And she didn't come to church, even though we had a ride set up for her. That was disappointing. for the 3rd week in a row, we haven't had anyone at church, which is SO frustrating. It makes me so upset. But on the other hand, Aaron Kelly received the Priesthood and was ordained a Deacon, so that kinda cancelled out the sadness I was feeling. That was awesome. I love Aaron. He's the man. Have I mentioned how ridiculously good he is at basketball? Cause he's ridiculously good at basketball.
Well, that's it for this week, I think. Mom, I've never heard of that person in Taiwan, so I'm assuming that they know E. Gluch, and just wanted to add me, so it's cool if you allow that. And also, next week is transfer week, so I'll be emailing on Wednesday. this is my last full week with E. Winslow! He goes home next Friday. That's weird. He was only at 14 months when I got here.. weird. So yeah, I'll have a new comp in a couple weeks. ok, well I hope you all have a great week. Happy Valentines Day! Love you all!
Love,
Elder Hammer
