Hola, family and friends. I don't have much time, so I'm going to try and get as much done as possible.
Tuesday: We had a Zone Meeting, which was really cool because I got to see Elder McCleese again. We just went over a bunch of our goals for this next change. When we got back, we went with Hna. Matilde (she is a member that is the best person ever and helps us with finding and teaching investigators), and we went to a couple of houses of less active members.
We then went to one of our investigators' houses named Monica and Micheal. It was such a good lesson. We did so much, and I understood some Spanish for the first time haha.
Wednesday: Really hard day. I felt sick and I didn't understand anything that was going on and I was a little home sick, but it's all good. I went on an exchange with Elder Palmer. He's from Tooele, Utah, and it was nice being with him. We taught a couple lessons to his investigators and they were so good. One of the lessons this mom was crying the whole time because her son has not been a good son. So I remembered why I'm here and that's to bring these families closer and turn them into families that are together for eternity.
Thursday: Today we were with Hna. Matilde like all day, just meeting less actives and new investigators. We taught this one family and he claims that there is always a ghost in their house haha. The people here are pretty interesting. They say that they always have visions and stuff. We then had a lesson with Gissel, and it was sad because she pushed back her baptismal date because her friends told her some stuff that wasn't true about baptisms. So we invited her to Grace's baptism which was on Saturday.
Friday: We went back to Michael and Monica's house today and taught them about the Chapter of Enos (Which is really good. Read it!) and it was such a good lesson. Then we taught Digna, and she's really hard to teach, but we taught about temples and she loved it. Hna. Matilde shared such a good testimony and we asked Digna to get baptized, and she said yes, so that was super exciting.
Saturday: We went to a Zone activity on a busy street and we just tried contacting everyone. We met some great people and got their information for future visits. We then went to Grace's baptism (some other missionaries' investigator), and it was so cool seeing her get baptized. Then we went with Hna. Matilde and it was such a long day because one of the less actives lives on top of our Zone and it's up a very steep hill, but it was such a cool view.
We also gave our first blessing in Spanish, which was cool. Then we went to Marcia and she is such a good investigator, but her husband refuses to listen to us, which is hard.
Sunday: I got to bless the Sacrament in Spanish for the first time, and I didn't mess up haha. We went and taught a lot of less actives today and all of the lessons were so good. We got some of the less actives to say that they would start coming back to church, which was way awesome.
Monday: We went to Basilica (I think that's how you spell it. It's really hard to spell on these computers haha). It's a giant Catholic chapel with an unreal view.
Love, Elder Copeland
