Holy cow y'all, I love the food. The members also feed us sooo much. Yesterday we had lunch at 1 with a member and I was stuffed. Then at 4 we went and had dinner and I ate 8 more tacos and ice cream. I am going to get so fat. Our neighbor baked us a cake one day. I had Arepas Saturday and they are so good. On Thursday we went to this Colombian hamburger place and it was the best hamburger ever. I have a picture below or somewhere in the email.
The weather here is nice. It’s been super windy so I've loved it. My companion is awesome. We talk a lot and it's fun. We always ask each other questions to get to know each other more. Last night 2 other Elders came over and we had a sleep over. They are cool and it was fun.
One miracle we had was one night after we worked we went to Pollo Tropical ‘cuz we had not eaten. We were there for a while and just kinda didn’t leave, I don’t know why. I was starting to want to get going but didn’t say anything. Then a lady came up to us and started talking. Me, not knowing Spanish well, I had no clue what was going on. Then her husband came over and we talked. After they left I asked what just happened.
Elder Alvarado said that they were some old friends who he had not been able to get in contact with for a few months. Here is what happened: They moved houses and her phone got destroyed so they lost all contact. Their daughters are members of the Church and when they moved to America they promised their daughters they would talk to the missionaries. Before they lost contact she said she had a desire to get baptized. AMAZING.
So we got all their information and they were so excited to see us. It was amazing. What a blessing.
The work is going so well and we have a lot of fun while we do it. In one of the areas we have been knocking there are a ton of kids. I love kids and most kids know English, so that's perfect for me. I play basketball with them for like a minute. I am like, “if you make this shot I will give you all something cool.” After a couple tries I make it and I give them all little pictures of Jesus. The next day I was like, “I have a cool story to share”. So I told then about the stripling warriors. I love all those kids.
Whenever we go knocking and we talk about families. I always show a picture of my family and it is so cool. I have probably shown like 25 random people my family but I love it.
Anyway, things are super good here. I love it.
Love,
Elder Isom
