This week we were struggling to find new investigators, so we decided to try the good old taqueria hop and go talk to the men eating lunch at one of the many taqueria's in the parking lots here. As we approached, we felt more and more sheepish. And as we walked past them, we exchanged really really daunted glances that said, "so, what's the best way to get a man to stop thinking about his carne asada and think about why God is important to him?" And as I stopped and pivoted to begin this impossible task, Hermana Hale just kept right on coasting up to the taqueria window, giggling as she looked back at me trying to make my conversation with them feel normal. And while I struggled to find some way to cue in them the desire to learn more, even though they work all the time and actually live in dallas and are actually devout catholics even though they never go to church, Hermana Hale ordered herself a nice chicken taco. I wrapped it up with these guys while Hermana Hale turned away from the window and we hurried back to the car so that we could laugh really hard. Oh MAN how I love that girl.
Things are still really awesome
in our area! A lot of the work we do here is
with less actives and part member families which is the BEST! We have about 29
less active families in our area and over half of them are part members. I love
this part of the work. Helping families prepare to be together forever and also
learn how live happy and united lives here.
1. Hermana Hale and I after coming out of the temple.
2. A puppy that was WAY too small to be away from its mom
that some members had bought at wal-mart for about 20 bucks. There are a LOT of
dogs in this here culture. I will never have a chihuahua.
3. My favorite person ever. Hermana Hale. This was during an
attempt to have a spiritual moment with the less active family who owns a
restaurant/finish weekly planning after a crazy week...at their
restaurant....accompanied by two giant aguas de pina. She didn't know I was
taking the picture. That's just how naturally fun and happy she is.
