Hola Hola! This week was super good! We were super busy driving a ton and all that jazz, but it worked out. We drove for about 20 hours outside of our area this week. Between meetings and going to a baptism in Othello. It was exhausting. I think driving is more tiring than anything else. We make it fun though! So our On-Dates, Leanor and Andy Lopez are still doing well. Their date got moved back to the 25th of this month so that we can make sure to teach Andy all the lessons. We have taught mostly everything, but we just want to make sure he knows everything and he is a little nervous so we are gonna help him feel more comfortable with things. He is super awesome though! He is on page 200 in the Book of Mormon! He is 9; it's so cool! And he actually remembers a ton of what he reads. He and his mom are incredible. She is super solid, but just wants to make sure he is ready and all that. She won't do it without him because she says she doesn't want to make him feel left behind since his dad got baptized a few months ago. But they are progressing well. We love them so much! One of our other investigators, Venice. She is 10. She is so funny! She knows so much, and remembers everything we teach. So well that she apparently has been teaching her friends and family the law of chastity and telling them they need to repent or they will be punished. It's pretty funny. After we teach a principle or something, she stops us and gives us an example of how that could apply to life with some crazy analogy that sometimes makes a lot of sense. But sometimes they are a stretch. She is so fun to teach. We are hoping her mom will give her permission to be baptized. If not, we want to help her stay strong until she turns 18 and can do it on her own. Either way will be good for her. She has a ton of friends in the ward that she goes to school with. So we think she will be able to stay strong till she can do it on her own. We have a bunch of new people we are working with who are super awesome, so we will see how they work out! I love this area, the ward, my comp, everything. I am so happy I am on a mission. I would not trade it for anything. Anyway, thats all I got, love you fam! Elder Zev Harman

Hola, Hola! So this week went by super super fast!! It was good. We had transfers and I have a new companion, Elder Allsop from Lindon Utah. He is awesome! We have a ton in common and get along super well. This should be a really good transfer. So this is going to be pretty random info that you probs don't care about but I don't know what else to write about because not a ton happened this week. So every transfer a lot of missionaries set transfer goals. This transfer I have 5. 1. Drink more water (I have been doing decent but I need more) 2. Finish the Book of Mormon in Spanish (I'm in 3 Nephi 17). Also, cool little thing. There is a promise to missionaries from President Hinckley that goes something like this, "If you read the whole Book of Mormon cover to cover in your mission language, you will be fluent by the end." Reading the Book of Mormon has been my saving grace with Spanish. Reading out loud especially. 3. Make new lesson plan outlines for the first 3 PMG lessons in English and Spanish 4. Try to use what I learn in my studies throughout the day to share with others 5. Write in my journal at least 4 times per week. Those are a few basic things I want to work on these next 6 weeks so we shall see how they go! We have a crazy week ahead of us. We have to go to Wenatchee in a few hours and we gotta go get stuff ready for that, so I gotta cut this short again. BUT I love you all. I hope all is well. And just always remember the importance of Jesus Christ in our lives. We are nothing without him. Even the dust of the earth is greater than us, if we don't have Christ. Love you! Elder Zev Harman ps. Sorry no pics this week...I forgot my camera at our apartment. |
