Erin Greenwood Mission: Week 63: August 8, 2017: This week was way good :) I don't have a whole bunch to tell you but I promise it was!

This week was way good :) I don't have a whole bunch to tell you but I promise it was!

Some cool things happened on Thursday! A Hispanic family came into the jail and I got to take them on a tour, which was a huge blessing because it was the 1st tour that I've taken around the jail in Spanish and one of them spoke both English and Spanish so she was able to teach me some of the words that I didn't know. And then at the end of shift, right as I was about to go into my area, a GIANT bus tour of about 70 Spanish speakers walked through the door and we had no idea they were coming. Well, considering I am the only Spanish speaker serving at the jail, I got to take them! and it was SUPER intimating and I probably said a ton of things wrong but it was way fun too! There were a handful of non members in the group too and they loved it. They wanted to watch the Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration movie first so we watched that and everyone was crying and then i took them into the jail and the spirit was so strong and it was probably the most powerful tour i have taken since being at the jail. I can't guarantee it was the same for them cause I was just praying they would be able to understand me haha but it was so good!

We had Interviews with president and sister Love this week and they are just the absolute sweetest. I love them lots!

So when I came into the area, they had been working with the same 2 investigators for like the past 4 transfers and that was literally it. So we have been working a TON to try and find more people to teach. We found D last week and unfortunately, she wasn't there for the return appointment and she won't answer our calls... but we'll keep trying her.

We have found a couple other people to work with but so far nothing too crazy has happened. We have been meeting with some less actives and members that are struggling to try and strengthen them and hopefully we can get one of them to the temple soon!

We are working with a lady named A who is super sweet! She is dating a returned missionary in the ward and they are planning to get married at the end of October! She was planning on getting baptized only about a week before the marriage but keeps moving it up and up every time we meet with her so that is great!

We didn't get to go to the temple on Saturday but it was okay because we got to go today and it was incredible! Most missionaries don't even get to go to the temple on their mission but its a huge blessing to have a mission president that lets us and one that it only about 10 minutes away from where I live. Its the best.

It was a great week! I love and miss you all lots! Thanks for your emails and pictures :)
