Hi Mom,
Well…this week was a busy one. We had transfers. My old
companion, Elder Collins, finished his mission. He got home on Thursday.
My new Companion arrived on Wednesday. His name is Elder Rojas. He is from
Bogota. His is 20 years old just like me. But he has only been in the Mission
for 5 months. He served in the Colombian Military before coming on his mission.
He is awesome.
This week I found something really special: Instant Potatoes. I
bought them one night and made them the next morning for breakfast. They were
delicious.
Well, I don't know if you have seen it, but the church has put
out a Christmas video. It is called, "He is the Gift". It is really
good. The Church has made a bunch of promotional cards for us to hand out here.
We have had a lot of success with the cards and with the video. We have more
investigators. One night when we went contacting we saw a family outside their
house talking. We contacted them and gave them the card. We told them that we
did not have too much time but that we would like to come back another day to
talk with them. They said that it was alright. Before we left they asked us a
few questions and before we knew it we were sitting down teaching them. They
are the Barrios family. They have a lot of interest in what we share. I know
the Spirit opens a lot of hearts in the month of December. I know that any
other time of year and this family would have rejected us. But the Spirit
talked to their hearts and they listened. So now we are teaching them. It is
the grandparents, the parents and the daughter. They are a great family. That
is just one on the many success stories from contacting using "He is the
Gift".
That’s all for this week.
Love, Elder Rucker
p.s. Here on the coast it is so hot and so sunny that we are
allowed to use Sombero hats. There is the foto of Elder Collins and me in our
tracking hats.
