Dear Family and Friends,
How are you all doing? Well, I am
doing great here in my mission - Sharing the Gospel and helping our
Heavenly Father's children receive the Gospel in their lives. Last
Wednesday, I got transferred to Buckeye and got a new Companion Elder
Romrell. I was sad to be leaving Glendale because we had some great
work going on there; but I helped prepare people to Come unto Christ so I
know I accomplished what I was sent there to do. I was really shocked
to be sent out to Buckeye because it is different being in the country.
Our area is pretty big because there are lots of farming fields like
cotton, corn, and dairy farms. It is totally different from the city
where there is nothing but houses and buildings. There are quite a bit
of subdivisions, neighborhood's scattered throughout our area that we
work in and Share the Gospel. We cover two wards - Buckeye 1st ward and
Sundance ward. I have met great members yesterday at church. Elder
Romrell is a great companion that is energetic and funny that likes to
have fun and do missionary work. He finishes his mission in 5 weeks so I
will be his last companion. So I am learning from a skilled missionary
and I will keep him working hard until the end of his mission. We have
a few investigators that came to church but no one committed with a
Baptism date yet. We are trying to find new investigators by visiting
members, having a prayer with them, and then asking if they know anyone
that would be interested in learning. Finding through members are the
most effective way to get solid investigators that the Lord is preparing
to receive the Gospel. We go tracting sometimes but it is not very
effective because lots of people are not interested or they are not home
especially in these areas because people work or go to school during the
day. I live with a very nice family the Maxwell that have 2 twin
boys at home, one on a mission in Paris, and 3 on their own or in
college. On Saturday, we had a cultural fair at our Stake Center that
was really fun. There were stations around the cultural hall that
represented different countries talked about their cultural and had some
sample foods to try. Guess what the Hawaiian booth had Spam and Rice
as their food. It was great and a lot of fun for those that attended
with great presentations including the Hula. We had our own missionary
booth that talked about the Gospel and had pamphlets and Book of
Mormons. Well that was my week in the mission field. Hope everyone is
doing great. I love and miss you all so much. My prayers are always
with you. Until next week. Take care and have a Great week!
Love,
Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral
