This was such a fun week. This morning I played basketball for the first
time in about 10 months. We are only allowed to play sports with no more than 2
people. So Elder Jones and I shot some hoops and played 21. I might way 16
pounds more that when I started the mish, but I still got some game. Anyways,
right now I feel super relaxed and healthy after playing. I think it´s going to
be a Tuesday morning tradition.
Elder Jones is way cool. He´s from Rancho Cucamonga, California, and his
dad is the mission president of San Antonio. That´s where Elder Cousineau is
right now. I have one more transfer than Elder Jones and I really hope that we
will be here till new years together. The mission just had a ton of special
transfers because we have a new assistant so I think we are going to be
safe.
To start off the transfer, we had a baptism. Laura was baptized on
Saturday. I remember that when I got to Contreras, she didn´t want to talk to
us at all. We always going to her house because her mom lets us use her washing
machine. So in about september, out of nowhere she asked if she could learn the
gospel. Of course! She is 26 years old I think. Her baptismal service was
awesome and seh was crying a ton afterwards. Of happiness I think.
Also this week, we had the great idea to go to the bishops house. His wife,
la hermana Sanchez is a family search missionary. So she showed us how we can
help investigators find their anscestors. I really really liked it. I felt
something really cool and I am pretty sure that I am going to help a lot doing
our family history after the mission.
I also went to sign my visa for the last time this week. I went with Elder
Reid and it took all day. But the fed us Burger King afterwards so no
complaints.
Yesterday, President Valadez explained to us something new that we are
going to be doing. We are going to visit inactive and active members and teach
them the missionary lessons. Their responsibility is to give us referrals and
the ward´s responsibility is to help them progress in church with callings,
ordinances, and feeling loved. We are no longer going to be knocking doors or
contacting in the streets. We are going to rely on the ward and they will give
us people to teach. I can´t wait and I am excited to help people return to
church and help them have eternal families. You all need to help the
missionaries at home. Take them to visit your friends and family, I know they
can help.
Elder Stockard sounds like he is dominating in Ciudad Victoria. Sorry this
letter isn´t so spiritual. I am still mortal. I love you all. Do
work.
Happy Birthday Travis!!
Love,
Elder Hubard
