This e-mail will be a bit shorter than usual, since this is just Saturday and I forgot to bring my agenda with me to remind me about what I did this week.
Monday evening we contacted a referral named Marcelino. He's an elderly Latino who's having some difficult times and seems glad to talk with us. We've already been back to visit him twice.
On Tuesday we tracted some... and we went to the Libro de Mormon clase... And I don't really remember what else we did.
On Wednesday I was on splits with Elder Hoskin, my District Leader, in his area, which is just to the west of mine. We had a pretty good day, and I got to help him with his Spanish, since he doesn't speak very much Spanish. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before--until March of this year (the month I arrived in the mission), the mission was split into English missionaries and Spanish missionaries. However, in March it became a bilingual mission, meaning that all the missionaries are to speak English and Spanish (except for the handfull who speak Korean or American Sign Language), so all the missionaries that used to speak just English have been having to learn Spanish. Elder Hoskin is one of those missionaries. But, we had a pretty good day, and things went well in Watts, too.
On Thursday we had our usual weekly planning, visited Norman, tracted a little bit, and had our correlation meeting with SG2.
On Friday we had our district meeting in the morning. I don't remember if I'd mentioned this before, but it just so happens that Elder Pepper, my MTC companion, has district meetings in the same building we do, so we've been enjoying seeing each other and catching up these last few Fridays. After that, we tracted some and visited Marcelino again (Elder Allred and Elder Thurston, Elder Hoskin's companion, visited him on Wednesday). He's been enjoying reading the Libro de Mormon (Book of Mormon), and is planning on coming to church on Sunday.
Well, that's it for now. I may write some letters to grandparents and aunts and uncles and such today if I have time, so consider yourselves warned (ha, ha).
Elder Samuel Stephens
For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift. --D&C 88:33
