31 More Days!!!

Hola,

Well, another week has come and gone, and we've come to the end of February.  I know it's the shortest month of the year, but it went by way faster than normal.  But that's how these things go I guess.

This was a good week.  We started teaching a new investigator who came to church by himself last Sunday.  His name is Ismael, and he's very interested.  The hard part is that he's a cop and has a very hard schedule.  He works every other day for the entire day, and that's if they don't need him for more time.  This week, for example, he had to work non-stop from Wednesday to Friday.  It also makes it harder for him to go to church because he works every other Sunday.  But I feel that he'll find the way to arrange his schedule because he wants to draw closer to God and make some changes.  Other than that, we had a Family Home Evening on Friday with the ward.  At the end we played a version of Jeopardy that one of the counselers of the Bishopric put together.  He included things from the scriptures and from popular culture so that everyone could participate.  I found out that I still remember the names of all of the Beatles, so that's good I guess.  And we had an investigator come to the activity and to church yesterday.  I think I've mentioned her before.  Her name is Jaqueline, and her and her husband, Aldo, have been listening to us for a couple of weeks now.  They are both very interested in the church, but Aldo works on Sunday.  He works for his parents, and says that he doesn't want to leave them without help on Sunday, which is one of their busier days.  But he's considering looking for a new job, so that's good.  We'll see what happens with them I guess.

That's it for news from these parts.  They are changing the mission house, so we had to help move all the stuff to the new house this morning.  I'm happy to help, but it took a lot longer than we had planned.

There aren't any traditions that I'm aware of for leap days here.  I'm glad you're enjoying the new truck.  Nobody has told me what type of truck it is, or if the girls have given it a name yet.  So let me know.

That's it for me.  I love you, and I'll write you next week.

Love,

Elder Samuel Long
