THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS WEEK BY FAR: On Sunday Mark was able to pass the sacrament for the first time. It was great to see him being able to exercise his Priesthood. This past week he also went ministering to families in the ward and he will be teaching Gospel Principles once each month! We are so excited to watch him progress!
Unfortunately, our friend ____ no longer wants to meet with us. He didn't show up to his lesson and his phone was off. We found out from the senior couple who found out from his member friend that he doesn't want to meet with us anymore. I was really sad about this. It is painful when you see someone's deep desire for forgiveness, but for whatever reasons they choose not to take the steps necessary for it, especially when you care about them so much. We keep praying for him and trust in the Lord's timing! If it's meant to be it will happen eventually. It's all in the Lord's timing.
I don't have a lot to report this week other than the fact that while we chap we get mistaken for everyone you can think of. People coming home, salesmen, Jehovah Witnesses, milk men, catalog collecters, santa claus, you name it, we've been mistaken for it. Sister Anderson suggested we get bigger badges because apparently our missionary clothes and badges don't do enough for some people!
CINCO DE MAYO! On Saturday the one American in our ward (Tessa) had us over for cinco de mayo lunch and we had the most delicious enchiladas! I miss Mexican food. It's just not really a thing here, but the biggest blessing when we get it! Also Sister Anderson's mom sent us proper salsa. It was so good and almost gone - hahaha.
