It's really good to hear from my family and friends and all the support I have. Thanks so much! This week I have received a lot of strength and comfort through all of the prayers and staying focused in the work. I had exchanges again on Tuesday, got to show my District leader around my area and be the senior companion for a day. It was fun, he is a really good missionary and I learned a lot from him. It was Elder Maughan's birthday this week so we went to Buffalo Wild Wings to have a fun lunch with our zone. I made him some birthday cake cookies which were super easy and amazing :)
This week we also met this awesome lady Yolanda. It was super funny, she really loves what we are doing and after 3 minutes of talking with her she ran inside to get money for us, which we had to decline and then she told us to come inside and she introduced us to her 4 daughters that are around our age. It was super funny, she was like trying to pair us off or something. Really funny experience. The family Lomeli is doing awesome! They are praying and reading the Book of Mormon together as a family every single day :) They are almost into second Nephi after just a week of reading. They also have watched like 4 church movies we have given them and they love them and tell us how sad they are that they are short movies. They have a desire to learn more, I love it.
Also this week we found a fun opportunity for service. We got to push this old truck on a super busy street for over a quarter mile and it was a super good workout. I love service so much. This week we have been focusing on how we can use the Book of Mormon more when we knock and to help people build a testimony of it. It has really helped and during our lesson with this lady Guille and her daughter Jasmine. At first they told us old to use scriptures from the bible, but as we explained the Plan of Salvation and taught them about restored truths through the Book of Mormon they opened up way more to our message and accepted the invitation to read and pray about it.
We had a really good lesson with Olis. She talked to her husband about being baptized and said it's something she wants to do in the near future but doesn't want to set a date yet. She wants her husband to be open to doing it too. Angelina and Elizabeth Lomeli are praying about the 9th of March to see if that's when they need to be baptized. This area and people here are awesome! I love the work :) This week we find out what will happen with transfers next week. Elder Maughan and I probably aren't staying together so it will be interested. Love you all, have a great week! Love, Elder Hyde
