Well last week we had a pretty good turn out at our Noche de Deportes! We had quite a few less active members and a couple investigators come to play soccer. They may have roped us into playing in our shirts and ties, but that's not important. It was a lot of fun and helped a lot of people become friends again.
We have been facing similar struggles lately with getting people to church and such, but we had some cool experiences this week including a church tour with a new investigator family! Their names are Alfredo and Lilia. They both want to come to church but she has to work on Sundays. It seems like that is always the issue, especially when you find someone super solid. This week at church we had a few members come though, which was great. We sang "I Believe in Christ" half in Spanish and English with the Choir. It was fun even though neither of us really knew what to sing, we could say the words at least! Its been cool to see how the Cedar Hill Ward is adjusting to being a "bilingual ward". Next week I will be speaking as well as Hermano Castruita, who will be speaking in Spanish. We will have someone translate his talk into English, which will be the first time thats happened! I'm excited.
I love this ward. They have been so awesome and kind and loving. I will miss so many of these people I have come to love. Being on a mission truly has changed my perspective and my priorities. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and I know that He Lives. I know that His gospel is the only way to find true happiness.
I will save the fluff. I am sure you all get it. I invite you all to my Homecoming talk.
Well this is pretty weird, but I guess this is it! See you all next week! I love you and look forward to seeing you.
Love,
Elder Collin Christensen
