World Cup vs. Sunday School

I can say this week was crazy! We are so busy now, but we wouldn't have it any other way. We are booking so many appointments that basically once we leave the house, every hour we have another place to be. It's actually great because it causes us to really organize and plan our times well.

We try to bring members out with us to lessons because that really helps the less actives and investigators build relationships within the ward. The members here are begging to go out to appointments with us! We are very happy missionaries and the work over here is taking off.

Yesterday, Mexico lost against Holland in the world cup, as I'm sure many of you know. We know that because Hispanics will not leave their house during game time and that's all people talk about now a days. After someone wins, people go to a pretty popular street in Bridgeport and drive around the blocks in huge lines of cars, honking, screaming, and waving the flag around of the country who won. We have been around those streets a few times and we just honk and video tape them. It's so fun.

Yesterday, Mexico's game started at 12 and church ends at 12:30. So guess which group of Hispanics was not at the last hour of church? Yep, our last class (which Hermana Miller and I taught) had about 10 people in it, haha. This picture is from Germanay's big win! 

We go over to GM's house almost each week for dinner and eat delicious Venezuelan food. Her daughter was in town for past month and she left today so the picture above is of them.  This picture is of a pretty lake with houses surrounding it. The houses near it are gorgeous. They are in Southport, the edge of the mission boundary. We have 1 member who lives out there and we love that area. It is completely opposite of Bridgeport.

We taught a new investigator for the first time last week. He had a dream that an angel told him that someone was going to share the gospel with him and that if he didn't listen to them, he would never have a chance to accept it again. And then he had another dream that God has spoken to him a few times. Man, hispanics and their dreams! Oh well, he is accepting of everything we teach him and loves the church! 

Everyone-thank you for the letters and emails of encouragement and support. It keeps me moving on hard days. I hope you all are as happy as the New Englanders are about summer! Love you all!
