JUNE NA!                                                      

Well here we go again.  You won’t be getting too many more of these! 8 more to be exact! You all can now start your countdowns!  It’s crazy! and weird to even think about. So that’s when you just don’t think about it....except for this area is really close to the airport so the airplanes fly over super low and so that’s a little distracting. And gets me excited. 

So what happened this week? We taught a less active family that made me feel really guilty.  They are really struggling with their family scripture study and family prayers.  Because the kids don’t participate or listen. So then I felt bad for all the times that I have been less than excited to participate in our family scripture and prayer.  Because you could really tell that he was discouraged.  So I need to be better about that when I get home haha. But maybe I helped him cause I told him that the kids really do notice the effort. Even though they are fighting and grumpy. They do care and it does affect them. Even though they don’t realize it or admit it until much much later haha.

What else. It’s still hot here.  HOT HOT HOT.  It’s so hot you can’t even sleep.  

We also went to the Ukay Ukay.  It’s like thrift shopping. I bought a skirt, a dress, a pair of jeans, and a slip for 170 pesos which is only like $4.  Doesn’t get much better than that!

Our investigator came to church again this week! For all three hours!! And he listened. And he had the book open and he even opened the hymn book when we were singing.  Gosh it’s so hard for me to explain how exciting it is to see. Me and sister Picar just talk about it and are so excited and can’t stop smiling. Just to see the desire.  Cause we all know that it is one thing to go to church and a whole different thing to participate.  And you can just see the change in his attitude and countenance.  

That’s about all that happened this week. It went by pretty fast. We did a whole lot of walking this week cause we were trying to save money. We just walk our entire area. My feet haven’t hurt this bad since my first area hah. But it’s fun and then we can spend the money on ice candy (popsicles) to keep us cool!  And 7-11. cause there is air conditioning there.  So that is like heaven. To take a little break there. 

Alright well you’ll hear more next week. Take care! Love you all!
