the big email that you have all been waiting for

this is the big email that you have all been waiting for.

this week was a wild one. like on the scale of wild weeks it was really rather wild.

my comp doesn´t speak english and i can tell that my english is getting a little rusty again. it just feels weird. That´s a good thing though, with elder meade we spoke a lot of english and it made my spanish a little rusty.

Also being with a latino comp makes me realize that i still have a lot to improve in my spanish, being with a white comp makes me think that my spanish is better than it is haha, elder zamora does not speak very clearly, and he also speaks really quickly and uses a lot of slang, it´s a good reminder that i can´t slack off on my language study.

interviews

this week we had interviews with pres barret, i love that man. Our president is a very careful, calculated man, he thinks things through, and so the counsel that he gives is always gold.

man last night we took a bishopric member to a lesson with us and he is really an amazing man, i felt the spirit a lot from the words he spoke and i learned a lot about how i can be a better missionary. He is such a converted man and a great example for me. He talked about his mission and striving to be obedient and listen to the spirit. Senderos is a smalled ward without very many members, but the members that we do have are really wonderful, powerful people. 

Questions from bro wheeler

How goes the work of the Lord in your areas?  

Are the people receptive to your message? 

Are you getting enough dinner appointments to sustain you?  

man the area that i am in right now is struggling, honestly they are planning on turning my ward into a branch. We are trying to work more with less actives and recent converts. In this ward we have about 50 active members, and litterally about 1000 less actives. 

The people here are fairly receptive, mexico has wonderful people that are quick to share their time with us. they recongnize the missionaries as servants of God who are doing a good work and everyone shows us respect. 

We eat like kings. 

Hey Jesus Christ is very real. We learn about him and love him and study his life and his teachings not just becaouse he was the only perfect person who ever lived and we want to be like him. but we learn about him because he lives. He is a living man who knows the deepest parts of our hearts, he is strong enough to take any burden that we might have, and when we learn about him, we begin to trust him with some of our burdens and let him into our lives. Man has he loved me. He is such a man, with such perfect attributes and power, that we can trust him perfectly.

love you all!

Elder Grilliot
