Sister
Ventura is a super nice little old lady. She has several children. I think
they´re all boys and I think I´ve actually met all of them. One of her sons is
David Ventura (Janet´s husband). She is married. Her husband is of a different
faith. One of her sons lives there with
her and he has actually opened up to us several times (could be because he
likes to drink a little bit). However,
her grandchild, Andy is 13 years old and he loves to be sarcastic and joke
around and play and everything and I get along SUPER well with him. He said
that he has only grown attached to one other missionary in his life and I´m the
second and that´s probably my favorite part about going to that house. Well,
Sister Ventura always gives us food too which is always a plus. Joking around
with Andy makes me miss my little brother though... Homesickness ;)
Janet
makes the banana bread. We actually pay her to cook for us and she cooks lunch
and dinner for us every single day and the food is super good and it´s always a
variety and I´m loving it. David, her husband, served a mission in Honduras and
he loves to tease and joke around too. I have loved spending time with them and
getting to know them and they treat me like I´m their son so it´s super nice.
We wake up and do exercise every single day with David. They are a younger
couple... like 30 both of them? Something like that. They have 2 kids and
they´re little hoodlums. They don´t have a computer but they have smartphones
and a tablet so that´s good!
Mom, your
prayers have been answered. These two families are always talking to me and keeping me sane so that has been a real blessing.
We see other missionaries Monday, Wednesday and Friday but that´s it.
Investigators
are slow but steady. We are always finding new investigators and we just have
to find the ones that really want to accept and apply the gospel. We do have
tons of support from the members though and especially from the bishop so
that´s super helpful.
I absolutely
love 2 Nephi 31. It´s so true we use that chapter a lot while we are teaching
because it talks a lot about the Doctrine of Christ, Baptism, being obedient,
enduring to the end and lots of things and it´s honestly just a great
chapter...probably one of the chapters that I have marked up the most haha!
All
is well and time is flying by. I´m loving the mission and I’m learning so
much.
Love,
Elder

His new scripture covers for his Spanish Scriptures -- what a treasure!
