Weird Dreams

Well this has been an interesting week. The first part of the week always seems so long, normally because there is a meeting. The Spanish is still slowly improving, and I just need more time and more studying.

I actually was referring to piano sheet music for the type of music that I want, and I don’t really need other music. Just music to play on p-day. I would like it if you could send some to me in any form, email or mail.

So I actually had these dreams like two weeks ago. I dream that I was teaching an investigator while I was laying in my bed and I would fall asleep. And then I would suddenly wake up in real life thinking, “Oh no! That is really not good.” Those dreams felt so real. What was worse that it happened multiple nights.  And one night I had the dream two or three times. But that is really all the dreams I have had in my mission.

So Tuesday was a multi zone meeting again with training and something about the Christmas Initiative for the church, “He is the Gift.” Part of it is a video by the church and all of this is to help people remember the true meaning of Christmas. The only problem is that they want the missionaries to share the video. You know how hard it is to do that when no one has easy access to the internet. But I encourage you all to share this video with everyone, it is a very well done video.

For most of the time that I have been here, we have been teaching a family named Cristian y Beatriz. We have been teaching them really slowly but are gradually progressing.  This week we gave them a baptismal date for the 21st of December and they will be married that same day. This week I got to teach the law of chastity to them and Misael twice.  We think that is one thing they are struggling with. Misael could not come church this week, so we won’t be having a baptism this week, but we are hoping for next week. None of our investigators could come to church this week. But we had a family of new investigators come to church named Eddy y Ester, who seem like they will get baptized and are pretty open about religion.

Church was kind of interesting. I still don’t understand everything.  However, I am slowly getting there and understanding more. But sacrament meeting was the really interesting part because I decided I would play the piano, since there wasn't a piano player. And all I can say is that I just slaughtered the songs. Afterwards, they asked me if I would play next week, so I don’t know what kind of mess I got myself into.

Everything else has been going a bit better. I think one reason I don’t speak in lessons is I just never know what to say. Some of our recent converts have commented several times about how I just don’t speak a whole lot even when it is me with another missionary. But that is kind of just me, I have a hard time talking to people, when I don’t know them all that well.

But it sounds like everything is going well at home and Thanksgiving went well. Have fun in Disneyworld, which is one place I am missing right now.

The Atonement is such a great power for all of the people who are willing to use it. My investigator, Cristian, has a strong desire to change his life and other investigators.  All of this is possible through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
