2-13-12

HELLO HOOKE FAMILY!

THIS WEEK WASN'T HIGHLY EVENTFUL, BUT IT WAS PRETTY DECENT I GUESS. THE CHURCH MEETING FOR EVERYONE WAS IN CABO, SO PLEASE PRAY THAT WE CAN FIND A PLACE TO CONTINUE THE GAIBU GROUP!

UNFORTUNATELY WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY BAPTISMS (NOT IN THE ENTIRE ZONE), AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY DATES MARKED RIGHT NOW, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME GOOD SIGNS OF FUTURE SUCCESS. ANTONIO JUNIOR, A BUS DRIVER, ASKED ELDER LEDEMA FOR A BOOK OF MORMON ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO IN THE STREET. THE ONE TIME ELDER LEDEMA WAS ABLE TO TALK TO HIM WAS WHEN I WAS ON A DIVISION THERE IN CABO (WE WERE NOT WORKING IN CABO AT THE TIME), AND WE GAVE HIM A BOOK OF MORMON AND TAUGHT ABOUT IT. TURNS OUT HIS SISTER IS A STRONG MEMBER AND HIS BROTHER IN LAW IS STAKE PRESIDENT OR SOMETHING IN RIO GRANDE DO NORTE, BUT ANYWAYS WE STARTED WORKING IN CABO AND PASSED BY ANTONIO JUNIOR'S HOUSE MANY MANY TIMES BUT NEVER FOUND HIM AT HOME SO WE PRETTY MUCH GAVE UP. THEN LAST SUNDAY, FROM NOWHERE, HE SHOWED UP TO CHURCH AT 9, AND LIKED IT A LOT. WE PASSED BY THIS WEEK AND WERE ABLE TO TEACH HIM WITH HIS 2 KIDS (HIS WIFE ISN'T VERY INTERESTED AND PREFERRED TO KEEP WASHING THE CLOTHES). TURNS OUT HIS SISTER GAVE HIM THE BOOK OF MORMON ON CD AND HE'S IN 2ND NEFI! SO ANYWAYS HE WENT YESTERDAY WITH HIS 2 KIDS AND WE INVITED THEM TO BE BAPTIZED, THEY ACCEPTED, BUT WE DID NOT MARK A DATE BECAUSE, YOU GUESSED IT, HE WILL NEED TO GET MARRIED!!!! ARGG SEMPRE ASSIM.

ANYWAYS THINGS ARE GOING PRETTY WELL HERE, NEXT WEEK IS TRANSFERS AND I MAY OR MAY NOT LEAVE. I IMAGINE THAT I WILL STILL HAVE ONE MORE AREA ON THE MISSION BECAUSE NO ONE ENDS THE MISSION AS ZONE LEADER, SO I WILL HAVE TO BE TRANSFERRED EVENTUALLY.

ALRIGHT. THANKS FOR THE EMAIL AND I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!   LOVE  ELDER HOOKE
