Life continues to be good here in the Utah Provo Mission, and getting better all the time! Monday was a bit nerfed with "Deep Cleaning Day," but the apartment needed it sooner or later.
We had a lesson with Chris that was canceled on Monday. On Tuesday we contacted nearly every Ward Mission Leader out of Heritage Halls and we're getting much closer to our goal of meeting all 67 of them. We also had a lesson with Alejandro that day too. He exclaimed how the Book of Mormon was true and how much he loves reading it, but he doesn't feel quite ready for baptism just yet. We will keep at it, he is reading, praying, and going to Church, so it's bound to come in sometime.
Maria and Felipe are also both doing well, we gave them baptismal dates to pray about and prepare for in early March, so we are excited for that! Had exchanges this week with Elder Guo from Beijing, he's one of the Mandarin Elders in this area, but luckily the people we taught that day could speak English just fine. He is such a cool cat, I swear he'll be a General Authority in China once it's opened up to the church.
We also went to the Temple and ate at Cafe 22 together as a district that day, which were both great. The Colombians are solely ours to teach no, and although Diana F. was in California this weekend, she texted us to say she was still going to church down there, which was great! The other three roommates who stayed decided to go to the Asian YSA ward since Daniela M. wanted to go since she's rather fond of Asians. So, attending the Asian ward was better than no ward, and luckily it was all in English so they could understood most of it.
We went to the Temple on Saturday with Ximena, and that was great fun. She enjoyed it a lot too. We had two lessons with Carla. We will be going to the temple with her this week. Both Zone Conference and District Training Meeting gave us some new ideas on how to work. Elder Palomares and I continue to become better friends day by day. We run together nearly every morning for daily exercise.... so my cross country running skills are still hanging in there!
In short, life is darn good here, and it will continue to get better as I strive to be a better missionary. But that's all for now, have a nice week everyone!
