Week 21 - January 2, 2017

So the power just went out here and I lost all of what I had already written on this email. Lets start again!

Hey everyone!! 

I hope that you all had an awesome weekend and a great New Years! It doesn't feel like it should be the New Year and I keep forgetting that it happened. Probably because we don't do any crazy celebration for New Years as a missionary. We stayed up until 12 that night but didn't really do anything to celebrate.

So this past week was pretty slow because we were out of miles on our car and it was raining almost every day so biking and walking wasn't really an option. We spent our week going and trying to see some less-active members and to invite them back to church. A lot of the addresses that we have on our ward roster are either nonexistent or people weren't home so we couldn't meet with them. 

Today is the first real thunderstorm that I have seen since I have been out. It is really cool! It is almost constant lightning and some of it was really close and really loud! I love it! These past few days have been so rainy that some of the roads flooded! We only had about 20 people at church this week because some people were flooded in at their homes. Crazy! 

We got to meet Francisco’s girlfriend from Mexico at church! She is really cool. She can't speak English but she got up and gave her testimony in Spanish which was cool. She was baptized as a convert to the church about a year ago. She is really strong with the spirit and has learned a lot. She was the biggest example for Francisco and has helped him a lot. 

Well there isn’t much else to tell for this week.

I hope all of you have a great week and are blessed in many ways!

Love you all!
