January 26th email

Bienvenidos mi familia, welcome my family emails back to monday, yay.

 

This week got a little cold, with a brief snow storm freezing us up and the arrival of more snow coming soon, it should be pretty chilly.

We finally went down to Frankfort this week which we had planned to make a regular thing two weeks ago but complications arose and estabien. Frankfort is about 30 minutes away and has a significant hispanic population. We were able to meet several nice but very uninterested people. But theres a lot of work that can be done down there so we shall see.

 

The new family we had on date to be baptised has not been meeting with us. We havent seen them in the last two weeks and it has proven to be very worrisome and disappointing. But we will find them and hopefully get the family back on schedule.

 

We also have several other investigators or people we are trying to work with daniel (young kid has cousin in church), Franklin (married to member), Maria (found her but havent been able to contact). Along with those several in actives. Though in Spanish land sometimes inactives are that way because they have moved away into a different state or country, which tends to make it tricky.

 

My Spanish is still fairly bumpy but and this is very funny. The members and people I talk to almost all say that I have a funny accent with my Spanish, many of them say French which sort of confused me. But then I realized and asked them if it was German and they agreed hahaha. Go figure right, I guess two years of German pays off even in Spanish land.

 

I am still trying to work hard on it, pero espanol esta muy dificil por me, no se porque, pero yo se que yo peudo aprender este lenguage.

 

My talk sunday was okay. Its the second time I have had to talk and I am fairly certain that they at least understood what I was trying to say. But it went fine, nothing big.

 

 

But that has been my week. Thank you guys for getting the emails of daniel perry and christopher bryan for me. I hope you are all doing well and are enjoying the ending of winter. For us winter is still on but not as bad.

 

Thank you again for all you do, for the letters and packages, emails, and prayers. You all make it possible to survive out here. Well I got to get going. Dont worry I will be back soon.

I love you all

Sincerely your missionary in Indy, Elder Ryan James Trapp
