Well how's everyone doing??? I'm doing pretty good i think so :) a few ups and downs and trying to solve a couple clicks in our companionship (kinda a given in a new companionship), but other than that, it's going pretty good!! We actually have more work than it feels, which is pretty nice! We've had a couple lessons with investigators and some less-actives, AND we got some of those less-actives to church!!! SUPA dope!!! It's a guy and his 3 boys, but the dad works so he can't come, but we got the 3 boys to church which is pretty awesome :) they're 18, 15, 13, so they all go to young mens so it'll be pretty nice if the young men step up and are good fellowshippers :) We had a our first lesson with some new investigators yesterday and it went really great!! We talked about the plan of salvation, and they took like everything in!!!! The husband says he's a "believer", and the wife is catholic. They're both divorced but have been married to each other for 3 years now. They're in like their early 40's or so. They're super nice and really receptive. After the lesson, he was like "hey, can we keep these pamphlets? I'm looking forward to being able to meet and talk some more in the future." SO we have another lesson set up for next Sunday again. We had a family home evening with those less-actives i told you about. The dad is WAY nice and i stinkin love the guy. He's a single dad raising all 3 of them, and he's just so nice and loves them so much and it's nice to see :) we shared a message and played a little game (tooty fruity) and had a little snack after. They're super sweet and i gots a lot of hope for them :) the only problem is being able to get them to church because none of them can drive and like no members we've asked have done anything... pretty frustrating really :/ we asked our zone leaders if we could just give them a ride since they're all members, so luckily they gave us the thumbs up. The only problem is that we may not have sufficient clicks (kilometers) to be able to do that all month, so we'll have to keep searching for a way to get someone else to give em a ride. The only problem is that it's 3 boys, and most people wouldn't have that kind of room to give 3 people a ride :/ the struggle is real y'all!! Anyways, me and Sanchez are getting along for the most part. like i said, a couple bumps, but we're getting through em pretty quickly thank goodness :) guys, you learn so much on the mission!!! fo realzies, it's constantly demanding you to refine yourself and change who you were before and become a better person. One thing that it REALLY demands for refinement is humility.... HOLY GUAC pride is tough. We all have it, just in different versions and amounts. One thing on the mission is it's hard not to be jealous of other's success. It's something i'm getting better at, but SOME people still have issues with, and it slightly pulls you in.. then you just have to step back and think "hmmm, why am i feeling like this? oh that's right, because i'm a PRIDE SACK!!" haha but yeah, someone said one time that pride is more than just being prideful in your own success, but being jealous of other's success. So that's something i've been working on is not being jealous, but trying to figure out how they do it.. ya know?? ;) Anyways, i love you guys!! thanks for all your support and love and LETTERS!!!! i'm still working on getting out some replies so you'll be getting em pretty soon :) take care everyone and have a great week!!! Love, Elder Levi Windham p.s. it like snowed a TINY bit this past week, and this morning, EVERYTHING was covered in snow!!! it's about time Canada starts acting like Canada ;)
