1-23-12 Baptism of Yris

1-23-12
HELLO BOM DIA FAMILY!!!

HEY SORRY FOR NOT WRITING TOO MUCH LAST WEEK, BUT I GUESS YOU DID GET ELDER CASUCCIO'S PICTURES?  ME AND ELDER CASUCCIO TAKE TURNS EVERY WEEK AS ZONE LEADERS, DOING THE REPORT ABOUT THE ZONE AND SENDING ALL THE NUMBERS TO THE PRESIDENT, WHICH SOMETIMES TAKES A LONG TIME. AND WE STILL ONLY HAVE 1 HOUR ON THE EMAIL....


SO ANYWAYS THIS WEEK WAS TOUGH, BUT IT ENDED WELL AS I WAS ABLE TO BAPTIZE YRIS (WITH A Y) ON SUNDAY. SHE IS EXTREMELY SHY, SO WHEN WE TEACH HER SHE IS ALWAYS EMBARRASSED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, SO WE HAD THE IDEA TO LEAVE QUESTIONS FOR HER ABOUT WHAT SHE WAS LEARNING ABOUT THE GOSPEL AND WRITE ANSWERS, WHICH SHE DID, AND VERY WELL! SHE WILL BE A STRONG LITTLE MEMBER, AND HER MOM HAS A TESTIMONY SO IT WILL BE GOOD FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO LEARN WITH HER MOM. 
 
DIOGO IS DOING WELL AND WENT TO THE CHURCH FOR ACTIVITIES ALMOST EVERY DAY LAST WEEK EXCEPT FOR SUNDAY, SO HE STILL WAS NOT CONFIRMED.
 
WE HAVE A COUPLE NEW PEOPLE WE ARE TEACHING, ONE IS THAT GUY RENATO (18)  WHO WENT TO CHURCH WITH ANANDA LAST WEEK. WE TAUGHT HIM AND HIS GRANDMA THE RESTORATION AND THE LESSON WAS VERY SPIRITUAL AND HE STARTED CRYING AS HE GAVE THE CLOSING PRAYER.  FOR SOME REASON HE WASN'T AT CHURCH THOUGH, WE´LL GO BY HIS HOUSE TOMORROW. 
 
WOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN EVENTFUL WEEK! A GOOD FUNERAL TOO- MORE OF A CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE THAN A MOURNING OF HIS DEATH.


EVERYONE HERE IS ON SUMMER BREAK SO SOMETIMES I FORGET THAT JANUARY IS NOT SUMMER BREAK THERE.

THANKS, SEND HIM [Grandpa] MY BEST REGARDS AS WELL (WEIRD SAYING- WHAT ARE REGARDS?)  ONE TIME I WAS WALKING ON THE STREET HERE AND A DRUNK BRITISH MAN NAMED HUGO YELLED IN A THICK BRITISH ACCENT, WHICH WAS EXTREMELY STRANGE (BECAUSE HEARING ENGLISH IS ALREADY STRANGE) "HEY! YOU! SEND MY REGARDS TO AMERICA!"   HAHA   THAT WAS IN SAN MARTIN.

THANK YOU I LOVE YOU ALL TOO IN OREM AND PROVO AND VENTURA AND WALNUT AND BOISE AND PARK CITY AND CEDAR CITY AND INDIANA AND ANYWHERE ELSE THAT I MAY BE FORGETTING WHERE MY RELATIVES LIVE!
LOVE
ELDER HOOKE
