It's transfer week!! I'm not getting moved anywhere, I'm staying in Greenacres with Elder Alvarado for another 6 weeks to finish my training. I am so excited to stay and keep on working with the amazing ward and people here.
This Saturday we had our wards dia de hispanidad. It was sooooo fun yall!!!!! There was so many people there and me and elder caines were the only white people. They had amazing food. My favorite food was the Cuban and the Columbian( probably because they were both made by the Bishops wife hermana Gonzales and she's a bomb cook) I also loved the Guatemalan tamales. Then they had dances and they were so fun. It was a hoot. The Mexicans did a western dance to the song achy breaky heart but in spanish. The Guatemalan did a cute little dance. We also had 4 friends at the event and they were all so awesome.
Monday we did a 9er 9er. So we went out at 9am and found all day. It was awesome. We would go to different areas in the district and find for them. We found a total of 11 new friends on the day which is awesome. I got to go with a creel speaking elder for a little bit and that was amazing. I got to hear conversations in creel and it was so cool.
God has been helping me a lot. My Spanish has improved so much. One lady said that I was humble for trying to speak spanish and that it was good. That just made my day. I have learned a lot about my priorities here and what I want and what I need. My wants have come down closer to what I need. My desire to follow and do what God wants me to do has increased.
I am so grateful to be a missionary. It is awesome. There is nothing else in the world I would rather be doing than this work in this part of the vineyard.
Love,
Elder Isom
