Letter and Pictures - Week 41

Hey family!

Mother's Day was so nice! It was so great to see all of you again. Even if it was short it was wonderful. I love you all. I want each of you to know that. Keep doing all the good you do and being the great people that you all are. With this week there were a lot of things that took away from our proselyting time but there were still some good things that happened. We were able to sit down with a member named Sister Tessa and her daughter Nelida who is 12 this week. We talked about baptism with Nelida and she accepted to work towards it when before she felt like she wasn't ready. It was great. She loves to read and she accepted to start reading the book of Mormon. She has already finished the book of Mormon stories book with the pictures. She enjoyed it. The little book will help her understand the book of Mormon better. We also started to teach a lady named Scera. She lives next to Michael. She is really cool. She is really interested in the message we share and believes in it. We taught the restoration with her and it was a nice lesson. We set a date for baptism with her. I hope she continues to progress. We had a great lesson with Joan about faith. She read Alma 32 and like I mentioned on Skype that she said that he little seed is beginning to grow. We taught Candice about the restoration as well. We've tried to teach her this lesson so many other times but things kept getting in the way so it was nice to be able to get through the whole lesson this time without all the interruptions and noise. This week at church I taught priesthood class about the importance of scripture study. Last week I taught Sunday School about Mosiah Ch. 1-3. Sometimes the lessons get thrown onto us as missionaries because the teachers aren't there or something. It's been a great week. I love you all and I keep you in my prayers. I hope each of your lives becomes lighter, brighter, and happier as you exercise your faith. Remember your future is as bright as your faith. I love you.

Love,
Elder King

Well with how long I've been driving it was bound to happen eventually... At least we are all okay. The car...not so much... I'm just kidding haha. But this week we spent some time dealing with the car. The key to the car got damaged and the immobilizer inside the key fell out and got lost so the car wouldn't start. We thought it was the battery but after trying to jump the car and that not working we knew it must be something else. So we left it overnight because it was late and then in the morning we had it towed. We got to sit in the car as it was being towed. That was fun. We took it to a place to have them look at it and they told us it was the problem with the key. This happened on Thursday. It's taking a long time for the problem to be solved but hopefully we will get the car back today. We got a new key with a new immobilizer but now we have to wait for them to program it. It makes me grateful for a car to get around because it's kind of a pain taking the buses with three Elders with all the places we have to go. There were blessings that came from it though. We were able to talk to more people because of it and who knows maybe one of them are prepared to hear the gospel.
