Hello Everyone!
This week was another good
one. There's nothing too out of the ordinary so I'll just include a few
little details. We are now settled in our new house which is great!
Probably the biggest house I will ever live in in my life and doing it
while I'm a missionary.
We met a really cool lady named Susy Q this past week.
She works at the hospital with a couple of spanish speaking members.
They invited her over and were teaching all of us how to make pozole
and morirsonando/jugo de la muerte and it was a lot of fun. We're hoping
she accepts the invitation to learn more about the gospel because she
is an awesome lady. She taught me how to make my favorite kind of salsa
as well as some other Spanish foods. We are going to do service for
her this week and hopefully learn to make some good food!
I got to go on exchanges this week and it was the first
day I've had out of my area in the last 4.5 months so it was relaxing to
do things in English and not be responsible for the lack of success
that has been found in our area for a really long time. We met some
cool people that have not let the missionaries in for years that got
along really well with us and let us start to build a relationship with
them. We had a lot of common interests and they liked our sincere
personalities so we were happy to help them in that way. We also had
dinner with a family that I had a lot of coincidences with. The wife is
a non-member and when we walked in and she saw my tag she said "I used
to work for a Jeff Gaskill in Colorado for 9 years, do you have any
family there?". We discovered that we were both from Colorado Springs
although I do not know a Jeff Gaskill and that she also lived in
Naperville, Illinois before she came to Colorado. It was really nice to
meet another person from Colorado Springs because that doesn't happen
very often! This lady is flying out on Wednesday because she has 2
granddaughters graduating from Coronodo and Air Academy high schools so
she will be pretty close to my family.
Friday was zone conference which is always really
spiritual and we learned a lot there. Those are always really
inspirational and it was great to see some old faces although most of
them are really new faces.
That's about all for this week! I miss everyone and hope everyone is doing well.
les quiero mucho,
Elder Gaskill
