Week 76

Hola everyone!

So this week was super successful for us! Just a brief rundown: we have this goal as a mission to strive for 20 lessons every week. I had always achieved this goal up until I got into this area. Everything that's worked for me in the past just didn't click the same in this area. But this past week, we threw in all our chips into hitting this 20 lesson goal and also finding 15 new people to teach by the end of the transfer (5 per week).

And we hit both goals 🥳🥳!!! A skill that I had to develop in order to achieve this goal is to just talk with EVERYONE we see and teach them on the spot. Also, we found some really cool people that have been prepared for us to find them, and we did! One of them is Kenya, who doesn't belong to any particular religion, but is currently studying to find the truth. Another was Ciro, who is a super genuine dad and we set up something with him and his family.

So here in Utah, the driver's test is only offered in English (which is whack cause the Latino population makes up like 40% of the people and is growing on the daily), so there are a bunch of Latinos illegally driving without a driver's license. But this sprouted a really cool idea for an English class. We taught a driver's Ed course, and it was super fun! Although only 11 people came, they had a good time. We had good food and super fun activities, one of which was this mock driver's test, where they'd drive their "car" (their phone) on a road we drew on some poster paper.

Wish us more success! I love you all!
