Greetings to all. So we've been freezing and eating watermelon because it's healthy ice cream. I've been translating the Ricciardi Letter which has been fun. We bought some hot dogs and it made our fridge smell like hot dogs so that was the worst moment of my life. Shoutout Emma Smith for being an incredible woman. We ate the saltiest mashed potatoes of all time and they absolutely decommissioned my mouth to be honest I don't know what that word means but let's move on. We made the mistake of asking our friend to read a scripture and he absolutely screamed it back at us with all the power of a pastor. Our English classes are going very well, it helps us find people to teach, and we have a couple people with real potential. The members are trying to fatten me up. I don't know what they have planned but I am not capable of eating such amounts of food. We helped a family move and we piled up an absolute mountain in the back of that poor truck. A woman I met in San José many months ago moved into our zone and we are starting to teach her English. Somebody rode past us on a bike saying "Utah rules man". One day we epicly walked almost 5 hours. We went to a neighboring city which was very nice and pretty called Atlántida.
I wanted to quickly tell you about 3 people.
A brother and sister - Our friends who got baptized. They are in a very humble situation, however what they care about is following Jesus Christ, paying their tithing, and serving their neighbor in any way possible. Despite their situation they do as Christ did and look outward.
A member - We have visited a member (farm pictured below) a few times. She has been trying to help us teach a woman she met. She recently has passed through some very challenging things in her life, but refuses to pity herself. She instead acknowledges that Christ, and people like Joseph Smith and other Saints suffered more than her. Her example of perseverance and faith is one of the most impactful I've ever seen.
Love,
Élder Jerman
