So a little bit about the new comp, Elder
Osorio. Well he is pretty great, he is from Cholula, Puebla, México. He
doesn't know exactly how much time he has here in the mission but it is
somewhere around 10 months I think. He hardly knows any English so I am
learning Spanish a lot faster now... before I always would try to talk
in Spanish but if I didn't know how to say something I would switch to
English, but I can't do that now and I just have to figure out how to
say it in Spanish, so it's good :) He is a really hard worker and I
think we will get a lot done, I kinda feel like this area needs
something to get it going and progressing and Elder Osorio might be just
the thing it needs :) we get along really well and we are going to work
like crazy! :)
Ok a bit about the investigators, with Elder Macias
we just hadn't been having much success and we didn't have that many
investigators so I didn't know what to tell you and would just tell you
about the more memorable experiences. This week we were teaching Jorge
Montez and things had always gone pretty well with him. Well Elder
Osorio said something and Jorge got offended and tried to give his Book
of Mormon back but we talked to him a little more and he pick it back up
of his own free will and wanted to keep it so that was good, and he
said we can visit him again so that is all good, I was a little nervous
for a bit there, the only problem with him is he can't really walk right
now or attend church, but we will see what we can do :) Also another
experience, we have been teaching Oscar and his wife and well Oscar used
to be a tough guy ( I don't really know how else to put it) He would
get in like fights and stuff, worked with the people that sell drugs and
a bunch of crazy stuff like that, but then he had experiences that
turned his mind to God and he changed and started like studying all the
time and he told us that he had the gift of sanitation or whatever, but
he stopped being so involved in religion for like 4 years and kinda just
turned to work and his family. We are the first people he has talked
religion with in those four years and he thinks it might be a sign that
God is sending him that he needs to let God have a bigger part in his
life. We left a chapter in the book of Mormon to read and pray about so
we will see how that goes :)
Oh I got the package! and a package from Ashley and a
bunch of dear elders and letters! It was like Christmas! But better! ;)
ha ha it was great, I like the shorts and the frisbee and the ties were
really awesome, the orange one looks really great with Elder Osorio's
suit :)
Well that's all I've got for now :) Love y'all bye!
-Elder Sampson
