Yeah it's pretty wild to think I'm going to be 20 years old in a few weeks. It doesn't feel like long ago when I started driving/dating/shaving and all that fun stuff. Weird how time flies. And it's not that you and Dad didn't teach us how to work hard, I just wasn't really willing to learn.
Elder Cruz is a great guy! He says he's excited to be speaking Spanish and to be eating Mexican food again. He said he was getting too used to mashed potatoes and casseroles. His parents actually still live in Mexico, but he came over to Chicago with his sister and her kids. There isn't too much of a language barrier between us since he speaks a lot of English, but there are a few words I say that he doesn't quite get yet. He's been practicing saying my name a lot since most Spanish speakers struggle with the "Th" sound.
J. is still progressing and she even told us she has a lot of neighbors that tell her not to listen to us, but she keeps telling us she's not going to take anyone's word for it and wait to see what God tells her.
That's crazy that Livi is getting so old! It's so weird to think that all my sisters will be mothers soon. Ew. We're all getting way too old.
I'm sorry to hear about Grandma in the hospital. I will keep her in my prayers. It truly is a blessing that we all get to pass from this mortal state, but you're right, it's a shame we all have to get old and weak.
There hasn't been a ton happening here. We have just been really trying to get all the members excited for the temple. We've started committing everyone to invite friends and family to this unique opportunity at the temple open house. It's a wonderful missionary opportunity for us.
Well that's pretty much it! I love you! Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
Love,
Elder Thayne
