¡Hola! ¿Comó estan?
Sounds like everything is going well. I just have one complaint
about your emails. Everyone assumes that everyone else is going to
write about their cool experiences, and then no one does. I know that
you saw a cool animal, that you went to Shakespeare, but that`s it. ha
ha ha ha
Tell Reed and his wife thanks and get me an address.
This week was a little better. I decided to try to look for the
blessings a little more. I definitely saw them. We contacted this one
guy who had been studying to be a Catholic Priest for basically his
whole life and then he decided it wasn`t for him, so he came back to San
Pancho. Well, we went to teach him the next day, but he had to go out
of town, but the cool thing is that his father owns a taco stand and
gave us free tacos. It was awesome. I had some with carne, chorizo,
lenguas (that was good), and de pastor (which is really good meat that
we don´t have in the USA). We had like 4 tacos and he gave us pop for
free. It was awesome. Also, my companion´s bike tire had a hole and we
went three times to fix it. Finally on the third time the guy ripped off
all the other patches and put a big one on. Then he said it was free.
We also had a reference, and it was fun teaching them. And this
week at church the Menas Activa, Nadia, came! That was cool. Well, I
guess her daughter said she liked it there (aka Primary, which is the
best) and said she was going to go with or without her mom. ha ha ha! I
love how God works!
However, we are still having a
hard time teaching people. We blanked again for having investigators at
church. 5 weeks in a row. Maybe we need to repent. Sometimes we
question the families we eat with about the Olympics and sometimes they
turn it on, so as we eat we see America win... Yep, need to repent. It
is fun to hear Mexico is doing well. Elder Brady, who is the same comp I
had in Leon, says if Mexico wins in soccer, it´ll get crazy for a day
or two. ha ha ha. yep.
I`m still a little perturbed with the members. I know they have
other stuff to do, but they should magnify their callings. It is really
different here. We have about 500 members in San Pancho and only about
100 come... That´s all I`m saying. Well, I love you all!
Thanks for working with menos activos and others. I understand you
have to live life, but my view of being a church member has changed. I
love you all so much! Also, this Sunday I´ll be accompanying Elder Wright
in church. First time ever. I would rather sing with him, but we need a
piano too... ha ha ha! Sky, you up for a quick trip? ha ha ha.
I love you all!
The GOSPEL is SO TRUE! I love missionary work!
Love you
Love, Elder Michael Blake Crouch
ps. Every member is a missionary!
