Elder Jacob Hope's Mission

Hola!

Well, well another week has come and gone, and it went by fast. I was pretty busy this week with the divisions that we went on but in the end it all went good and I had a fun time getting to know a couple of the elders in my zone a little better.

I still don’t know who my new comp will be they will probably tell me tonight, I just hope his cool. Right now I’m here with elder Monson. I think he’s pretty sad and nervous about what’s going to happen these next couple days. It has been really interesting for me also. I have never "killed" (meaning I’ve never been with an elder who was going home) so It been interesting. I think it would have been better for someone who still has a little time left and not someone who is also going home soon ha-ha but oh well.

It’s been hard to sleep her at nights due to the heat but I think I’m getting used to it. It’s usually about 85-90 degrees at night plus humidity so it’s kind of warm.

We had a pretty cool experience this last week with a lady that we met. A while back we were contacted by a man claiming to be an English teacher. Long story short after talking with him for a bit we gave him our number and left. A couple weeks have passed by since then, however the other day he called us. He didn’t really want to talk to us but he gave us the name of his friend that did. Saturday we went to check it out. It turns out to be an older lady named Virginia about 65 years old. We talked to her for a Little bit Saturday night and then invited her to church the next day we even offered to pass by for her. She accepted and we left.

Sunday we passed by her house and to our surprise she was all ready to go. We were pretty shocked. This little older lady has a lot of faith and she’s a perfect example of showing it. We really only talked to her for about 30 min. and she agreed to come to our services. She loved the services and we have a return appointment to visit her. I’ll keep you posted on what happens.

Well had better wrap this up my comp wants to say goodbye to some people. But I just want to let you all know once again that I love you all and hope you’re all doing well. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you guys.

Love Elder Hope
