Crazy Week

Hey Mom and Dad,

Thanks for your email! Wow sounds like a crazy week in Washington and then in Boston. That sounds like it was a crazy rally but great to help the nations politics. I´m pretty sure the politics in the US are the most important and most powerful influence around the world. At least down here everyone knows who Obama is and the influence that the US has on the world economy. If the US politics are going bad, that’s bad news for the world. So that´s neat. And lol that’s funny you accidentally walked into the Portuguese branch. But that´d be neat to go to a ward with Harvard students. Were they all, like, genius´s? Did you see what the Harvard campus was like? I´ve always wondered what it would be like to go to school there :P and that must´ve been fun for Ryan as well to get to see it all.

Oh and before I forget thanks for the package! I got it this week. It had a tie, skittles, jerky, gummy worms and a photo of Uncle Curtis´s new kids! Thanks! It was great (and I´m wearing the tie right now as I type this letter:). The beef jerky is especially a treat because it seems like outside of the united States no one has seen it. Elder Godinez said he´s only tried it once before and thought it was great. So yeah, my companion appreciates the package too, lol.

But anyways, so this week has been crazy. Or better said we´ve just been working like crazy. We have so many investigators who are so close to baptism it´s almost ridiculous.

Sunday was probably the craziest day. It´s awesome because we are now in the new, renovated Stake Center which is in the middle of our sector so it´s way close and looks amazing. It has water fountains and Air conditioning and even a baptismal font! It´s so awesome! I´m so glad I get another 6 weeks here just because I´ve been looking forward to this building for so long, lol. But yeah Sundays are always crazy just because you always come to church hoping so much that your investigators who said they´d come to church actually come. This Sunday I was way disappointed at first because we passed by the family of Margarita and her kids but she said she couldn´t because she had to go downtown to buy some things. Yeah, sad day. Then when we got to church we were waiting but none of the families we were teaching came. Yeah, I felt pretty well down in the dumps. But funny thing, near the end, when the closing hymn and last speaker was announced from behind me came Alex, asking to borrow a hymnal. I glanced back and saw his wife, Elisabeth sitting farther back with their 4-month baby! In a split second my heart jumped and with a smile I quickly pulled out a hymnal to give to him. One thing I forgot about the new chapel was that there are two entrances to the chapel. We were sitting right at the main entrance in the middle, but there was another entrance farther back that I forgot about. They are an amazing family that we´re teaching that want to be baptized but just need to get married, lol. It was sweet our ward mission leader taught the gospel principles class about the family and marriage in the temple, lol, and I think they took it well. Then before the third hour we were waiting in the hall for the last class which we were going to have together because of the fifth sunday of the month and several members came and said hi and introduced themselves so it was way good. We did have other investigators there who were kids of less active families which was sweet as well. But I don´t know there´s something special of having a family come who you work so hard for.

All right well I´d better get going. Looks like this computer actually works for viewing fotos so I think I´ll take advantage of the opportunity to send some photos. Here I´ve attached a photo of the 4 of us, Elder Aguirre, Elder Palmer, and Elder Elías in one of the zone conferences. Next is a small family Gamarra that are a less active but are awesome. Then there is the family Zamora whose granddaughter we are teaching because she´s 14 and wants to be baptized. Good times :)

Hope you have a great week!

Love,

Elder David Frome
