This week was fun!

Hey everyone!

This week was fun.

We had a zone conference on Tuesday with Elder C. Scott Growe of the seventy. 

Afterwards, I ran into two of my favorite missionaries! In the photo is me, Elder Homer and Sister Hawn. Elder Homer is a Spanish missionary in my area that has been helping me with Spanish, and Sister Hawn is another Spanish missionary with whom I was best friends in the MEXICO MTC back in January!

We got a baptismal commitment from a lady named Guadalupe that has been taught on and off over the last few years! We're planning on the first weekend in October for her.

This has been a good week. As my mission draws to a close, it has been fun to try and make the most of every day!

If any of you would like to re-read my previous emails, they are on my blog:elderhunterhendrix.blogspot.com

I can't thank you enough for all of the help and support you have sent me! 

I will send an email out next week to report on this week, and a final one once I get home.

Cow tongue and stray cat: one I ate and one just sat.

This week was pretty fantastic.

I tried some tacos con lengua... Or tacos made with the tongue of a cow... it tastes like roast-beef, but it is really chewy, almost like taffy chewy. It was weird.

We had another ward party on Saturday. This one was to celebrate Mexico's independence day! This ward knows how to throw a party! I attached a photo wherein you can see all of the decor and preparation that goes into our ward parties! There was a TON of food! We have an awesome family, the Rodriguez family, that cook like you cannot imagine! They brought like a 15 gallon pot of this food called Pozole! It was AMAZING. 

There was dancing and lots of music and tons of people! It was awesome!

A great ward party in Caldwell to celebrate Mexico's Independence Day.

Pozole. Amazing!

There is a stray cat that has decided that our doorstep is its new home. It makes a screaming-like noise all night. I was surprised it didn't just leave... until I realized the other missionaries are feeding it...

This week Elder Homer and I are making cinnamon rolls with a member to take to some of the members of the ward that are having a rough time, so that will be a blast I am sure!

In other news, The disease that sent me home from my mission several months ago has returned. I was informed last week that I will be returning at the end of this transfer, in about 2 weeks. While I am disappointed, I am so very grateful that I had the privilege of being a full time missionary and furthering the work of The Lord. It has truly been amazing to be able to represent Jesus Christ in everything that I do. 

Thank you all for the support that you have given me! I can't even count how many miracles I have seen and how many times I have seen the result of each of you keeping me in your prayers!

Have an awesome week!

Awesome times in Walmart

This week was awesome! My mom's hairdresser's family lives up here and they dropped by HOMEMADE biscuits and tomato soup on a rainy and gloomy day this week and it was AMAZING!

This week was in like the 60's! Having grown up in Arizona, if it's under 85, it might as well be zero because I am freezing! My companions are from Utah so they are used to it! We walk into a house and they are both wearing short sleeve shirts and I'm wearing long sleeves and a jacket and people scratch their heads and wonder what's going on and one of my companions will say "he's from Arizona" and they say "oh!" and completely understand... and laugh.

We did exchanges with some English missionaries. I went with Elder Saunders. We knocked on a door of a gentleman that hasn't been to church in years and asked if he'd come to church and he said yes... That was miraculously simple. Then as we were walking, we went into a gas station to buy some drinks and the clerk just gave it to us! He said he served in Tucson, Arizona!

The Benitas family came to church again! I will have to get a picture with them because they are great! It's so awesome talking to them! We get along so well!

One day this week, my companion was going to get a haircut, but the barber was out to lunch. So my companion remembered that he needed to go to walmart and get some cash back so that he could pay for a haircut and so off we went to walmart! We walked in and a lady ran up and asked if we could come teach her. We got her info. Then when we were paying for our groceries, a woman rushed up and paid for all of it! She said that she has a son serving, and is hoping that someone will offer to buy his groceries! That really is a BIG deal to us and means a LOT when someone is willing to buy our groceries! Then, when we were leaving, a man walked up and asked how he could start getting the lessons from us!

Two referrals and an awesome member from a 15 minute trip to walmart!

It was a great week!
