Dear best mom.
I'm glad to hear that everyone got to meet Sosa. She is a wonderful lady and has taken very good care of me. Also I'm not sure if you have heard but Yire (Pronounced "G-ray") the lady that I baptized here in Lewiston has been trying to get a hold of you. She wants to meet the whole family very badly and she went down to Salt Lake a couple weeks ago kept calling the home phone and left messages but no one picked up or called back. I told them it might have been because you were very busy taking care of dad. However she is going down to Salt Lake again this week on Tuesday and she wants to meet the whole family very badly because they are not sure when they are going to ask her to go back to Mexico. So please look for her call sometime soon this week. She is one of the most spiritual girls that I have met. I know that you will love her. And this will be the last person to come and visit you from my mission for a while I promise. =)
But things here have been going great. Mission life is just one of a kind. One moment your tracting doors then the next moment your chasing animal... Who knows whats going to happen on one of your days on the mission.
So in my email today I just want to share why I love my mission. One of the reasons is all the random stuff that happens. For example a couple of days ago we went out tracting doors and we ran in to this older guy with a sweet handle bar mustache. As we were talking with him we hear some older lady across the road yell "Help! My goat is loose!" So us being courageous missionary's over their with our suit and ties chasing around a goat for 20 minutes around her garden. Finally it was caught and we tied a rope around its neck and brought it back in the cage. We asked if we could give the lady a card but she said "no that's ok" and walked off. Right after she started walking off another guy came to us and asked if we could help him pour some gas in his moving truck. During that time we were already late for dinner with one of our members but us being kind missionaries not knowing how to say no to someone said "Yes we can help you out." So for half an hour we tried pouring gas in side his truck through a man made funnel that he created. During the time we taught him the restoration and he said that we could come back and share more some time. Right after that we had to run to our bikes and we booked it to the members home that was cooking us some dinner and also some of our investigators. But when we showed up we were just drenched in sweat and we just smelt like we went swimming in gasoline. But we had a nice dinner with the families and taught them about faith with faith paper and then it was about time to go home. All of that happen in about 3 hours time. Sometimes the mission is just to much fun. =) Just a couple days again I was having problems with my bike and we ended up pulling up on the side of the road. No longer then 5 minutes with us on the road a cop pulls up. In my head I was like " Oh, great now this cop is going to think we have been up to something because we were standing right next to a burnt down Grace Harvest Church. But when the cop pulled up I soon realized that it was Bro. Reese in our first ward. So we ended up talking with him for a couple minutes and randomly another family shows up that was walking by named the Godfree's. We pretty soon had a whole group of Mormons talking about there missions. After that the Godfree's went and grabbed there truck and pulled it over to throw our bikes in. Then the police officer led us to his home so that I could borrow his bike for a time. We then through his bike in the back of the truck and they took us home. In that moment I realized how much I love this church. Members are willing to sacrifice so much sometimes. I really feel like this church is just one big happy family. So just know that I am getting taken care of out here. =)
Well I wish I could write more but I have to get going.
I love you so very much mom. =)
