Teaching the Sister of Set and going on Splits with Set February 26, 2009

I am doing great I just have a little bit of a cough still this week. This week was an ok week.
Monday we watched Lion King in Spanish it was awesome. It rained all day so I wasn’t able to go shopping. Probably today I will get something small for everyone.

Tuesday my comp was not feeling well. We had a few lessons but we were in the house a lot.

Wednesday we taught the sister of Set and she told us she knows that it is true. She feels that what we are teaching is true. She said that she has listened to a lot of different religions and that we are the only one that she really wants to visit. It was really cool the only problem we have is her husband well not yet husband they are living together and he really doesn’t want to listen to us. I don’t think that he wants to get married. Well we are not here to destroy the family, we are here to help it. We are a little confused about what we should do. Not much happen

Thursday not much happened.

Friday we had changes for the day and I was with elder Vasquez and my companion with elder Rich. We found a guy that didn’t believe that in the bible it states Jesus saying that he came to the world to suffer for ours sins. He is crazy.
GUESS WHAT?? For lunch this day we ate fish. When I first saw the fish on my plate I freaked because it had the head fins tail and skin. I ate it and it was pretty good.

Saturday we started the day with service with Elder Rich and Vasquez, it was pretty good. Then we had a gangster bbq at a member’s house.

Sunday we went to church and then ate lunch and went on splits. It was awesome I went with Set and my comp with another young man. We spent all day separated so that we could get more lessons and more contacts.We have a baptism this week, her name is Sharon. She has 9 years and we are reactivating her mother. They are a great family and they have even tried to introduce us to some friends which is awesome.

Well my time is just about up so just want to tell you have a great week and I am going to make this week great tambien.
Love you all TONS love elder Hyde
Ya I saw Elder Morton today. : )

Set will be a great missionary February 16 2009

Hey hey hey a todos. How’s everything? Sounds like you are all right. Well this week I have been feeling a lot better but I still have a stuffy nose and a cough but all is well.

You know that we baptized Set, the young man that didn’t want to accept a baptism date last week. This week we have been talking to his family and his sister wants to change her life. I really believe that this is one family that heavenly father has prepared for me to teach. Set walked around with us yesterday and he will make a great missionary, he has told us that he wants to prepare to go on a mission. Yesterday we were able to give him the Aaronic Priesthood and we have a feeling that he will be the one to baptized his sister and his cousin. Oh freak, he is an awesome convert. He recently got a job and told his boss straight up that he would not work on Sunday, He said that is my day to go to church. : ) aaaawwwwweeeeesssssoooommmmeeeee

Well to tell you about a little tradition they have here that is a little weird. It is called carnival and it is all of February. What happens, mostly on the weekends, some of the people get water balloons and buckets of water and try to soak other people. Thinking about it is kinda cool but, when you know and see the water that they use it is not. A lot of the people use dirty gross, crappy water. Sometimes we feel like Samuel the Lamanite, because we have not gotten hit yet.

Well just wanted to tell everyone that I love them and thanks for all the love and support. I am going to go shopping today and find something small for every one’s B-day. I will be sending a package soon. I love you all tons and hope your week is great.
love Elder Hyde ç

I can walk up to someone an talk to them....February 2009

Derek wrote this in a letter to a friend.

"My Spanish is getting better every day and I can actually carry on a conversation with someone.
I am getting better at just walking up to someone and talking to them. At first it was kinda hard but now it is my life. Well it is about six o’clock and it’s time to get back to work."

Staying in Pucallpa Set is baptized February 9 2009

Hey, hey, hey how’s the family. Sounds like everyone is all right except for the kids. (nieces and nephews have had colds)

We had a good week, I found out today that I am staying in the area (Pucallpa) and am really happy about that. We are going to work hard this change.

Monday we played soccer and volley and got burnt because all of us white boys forgot sunscreen.

We had a baptism this week, his name is Set, it turns out that he didn’t go to Lima so we set a date and it was this week. It was so awesome. He is a really great young man and wants to serve a mission and teach his family. He said to us his family wasn’t going to support him. He told us he is reading the Book of Mormon to his family at night before they turn out the lights. I was so surprised when he told us that because he told us that he family was not going to support him.

Wednesday I started getting sick and sneezed like a hundred times .
Thursday I felt like crap and we worked all day in the rain. Pero, we needed to get things done so I tried to do it with a good attitude.

Yesterday we talked in church and I used the January Liahona and the talk from President Eyring and the quote de President Monson. "We are in the Lord’s work and we are entitled to his help." It was really good I think. I had some people tell me that they felt the Spirit really strong. I tried not to burn the ward to hard but, just a little. That talk is really good you guys should read it if you havn’t already. Well I love you all tons and hope you all have a great week.
Love, Elder Hyde.great bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggggggggggg hug
