Hey how is everyone doing! Hope everyone had a great fourth of July and enjoyed fireworks and a lot of good for me because only saw like 2 fireworks on our way driving home last night. Bummer huh we were not allowed to do anything and to watch fireworks or anything with people so we just got to chill and work out in our house haha. Hope the fireworks were good there. Plus fireworks here are illegal in Delaware so they don't sell any here in the state but of course people just go to PA and buy them. But we understand there are a lot of bad things that go on during those times. Everyone drinks here and what not we just didn't want to risk our safety so we know where President is coming from.
Well this week was good we still don't have any more baptismal dates but we do have some planned to give. We have a family Laura and Osvaldo that are really progressing really well. We had planned to give them a baptismal date this last Saturday but it didn't work we just didn't have enough time during the lesson since they got home a little late. But they are really cool people. but it is really weird both me and Elder Dopp feel nervous while we are teaching its just weird cause we usually feel fine, and when he gets nervous he just talks a lot and me i just don't talk haha. But this last week we taught really well together it was a good week!
haha so something funny this week we decided we want to try saving money so we combine both of our laundry loads together which costs 75 cents each then we don't dry them. We made a hanging line in our apartment with telephone wires. It works great, we are super smart its been really fun with him. We have had a lot of fun while working hard at the same time. i really hope we get to stay together for one more transfer till he leaves. I just want a companion for more than one transfer and not get thrown around, its har that way, like you get used to each other like 4 weeks into it so you need more time to work together effectively.
Really cool experience this week was Araseli the one i have been talking about a lot with her husband. Ya she bore her testimony this week in sacrament it was super powerful, because its been hard for her to not have a husband that is in the church and what not. But she told about the experience when we first went to her house something happened the day before and so we came the next day and we told her if she had faith that he would come out and listen to us. And he came out and listened now he is progressing a lot and he really sees a difference in her family way cool! Goes to show what this gospel does and how the Lord prepares people for us to teach.
Well love you all your all amazing i am so grateful to be out here and the help people and grow closer to my Savior. Thanks for all your love an support your amazing!
