We really had to start from the ground up in finding new people to teach. All of the people that we had been teaching the last week that Elder Woodward was here either werent keeping commmitments or werent interested anymore. So we started contacting and knocking doors in the Mcallen 2 ward area. We hope to find those that are ready there and I know that the Mcallen 2 ward is really great when it comes to helping the missionary work. We are currently teaching a family from that area there name is the F------- family. They have a son serving a mission in Mexico and he is the only member in his family as well. We are working to help them understand the truthfulness of this Church and the restored gospel. They are pretty much the only solid investigators we have at the moment, but we will continue to do our best to look for those that the Lord has prepared.
Yesterday was 4th of July and the missionaries from Mcallen, Mission and Hidalgo zones were invited to attend the celebration at the Mcallen West Stake center. They had a stake breakfast for the 4th of July as well they asked us to sing the Star Spangled Banner for them. It went well considering we hadnt practiced the song before we went up to stage to perform.
I am very grateful to be part of this great and marvelous work that has filled the earth. I know that what I am doing is true and is of God.
I love you all and wish you the best.
Take care! (cant believe i turn 25 soon! yikes!! :/ )
