Familia! Life is good! How is everyone doing?! Is it starting to look like spring over there yet? Well it definitely has been here until this past week. It's been ugly the past like 5 days. No thunderstorms really, just lots of rain and gloomy skies. This elderly african american lady we teach, Linda, told us to come back on a sunny day cause she's too cold to listen when it's cold out. Mind you, even though it's been gloomy, it's still in the upper 60's lower 70's so it's really not as cold as she claims it to be.
So this week went very well! We were able to tract for a couple hours which was awesome! I really love talking to others about the Gspel so tracting is totally up there close to the top of things I reaqlly love to do! We had a lesson with Ron and he is a part member family we teach. His wife just recently started coming back to church and went through the temple in January and now Ron has agreed to take teh lessons. He has come sooo far even just since I got here. He actually has a desire to keep commitments now and he comes to church every week because he wants to not because Dana makes him. He has an addiction to alcohol and this past week the fellowshipping family that we teach with every week invited the highcouncilman over missionary work to share is reactivation story because he used to be addicted to alcohol as well. and it helped ron soo much!! That was wednesday and when we talked to his fellowshipping family on sunday, they said he hasn't had one drink since! They have been spending a lot fo time with Ron and helped him not to be able to go buy a drink or anything. Thursday he was on his way home from work and called john so he told ron to come over and play pool with him. so they did and they played til 8 that night and by the time ron got home, his wife had gotten home and pitched all the alcohol in the house so he couldn't drink any! and he stayed for all 3 hours this week which he usually only stays for sacrament meeting! So neat huh?! Anyways this week we have temple day I'm so happy! Love you all very much!
