Hello everyone!
This week was pretty good and super long! First off, the weather up here is starting to remind me of Tucson!! I love it, it is only averaging above 90 degrees right now though. I keep trying to roll down the windows but Elder Gonzalez is used to 75-80 degree summers lol. We were actually tracting one time at some condos/apartments and an English sister who lives there offered us some cold water. He said no but I told her to get him one anyways and I told him when she went away that he would thank me in an hour. Sure enough, when we got back to the car an hour and a half later he said, "I am super thirsty." hahahaha it was very funny, and yes he did thank me ;)
We received a super solid referral this week! E___ and her family, from Columbia. They are super awesome. Her husband is a member so we just need to baptize her. She loves her family, most importantly has a strong love for her kids, which is perfect when teaching how families can be together forever. We want to take her to go see a video called "God's Plan" in Temple Square. It talks about a family and goes through the principle on how families are forever. I cry every time I watch it, so hopefully they will like it too.
Our bishop, who works at the Church Office Building on Temple Square, took my companion and I and the two other elders in our district out to lunch. He took us to the cafeteria in the Church Office Building, and needless to say, the food was absolutely amazing. They had a Mexican Food section, with actual Mexicans manning the grill, so you could say I was in heaven. After the lunch, he took us to where all the members of the 70, the Presiding Bishopric, the Apostles, and the First Presidency park to go to work. Out of all the members of the 12 Apostles, 7 of them drive a Toyota Highlander lol. It was a cool experience though. Our Bishop gets to see the general authorities on a daily basis, so that is awesome.
Love you all!!
