Blitz Part 2

Hey everyone,

This week was awesome. We did so much. We still are finding a ton, but I love finding. It is so much fun, you get to talk to so many people. The funnest part is that going into a door here in El Centro, you don't know what language you are speaking, so it is always a toss-up. It is very exciting.

Well, this week we had a Blitz in Calexico and in the El Centro 2nd ward. It was awesome. In the 2nd ward Blitz, I found a sister named Vanessa. She has a son named Alex that has autism. I was so happy. We taught her a little bit of the restoration and she asked when and where the church is and she came! But it is kind of sad because the sisters that are teaching her told me that her husband doesn't what her to go right now.

In the Blitz in Calexico, I was able to find someone that was deaf, but she knew SSL, so it was very limited communication. Then her granddaughter came out and we had an amazing conversation. She is from Arizona and she wants us to tell the missionaries in Arizona.

The Hermanas got Gregory on a baptismal date! I am so excited for him. We just need to keep him coming to church and it will happen Oct 13! Once he is baptized I am going to try and communicate with the daughters enough to try and make appointments. After that President Stubbs told me that I can tell the ASL missionaries out here and go on exchanges with them. I hope we can get that far.

I am loving it here. I have been able to use my Spanish more and more. I feel like I am getting better, I hope. This week my challenge is to get a book of Mormon and give it to someone who you feel needs it in their life. I would love to hear about these stories.

Thank you all for all the support, encouragement, and prayers. I love hearing from all of you and hope to hear more. I am excited to meet so many people. I love you all and am excited to hear from you all.

Con Amor,
