Yes....the gospel has all the answers

Hola Familia,
November 3, 2008
I gotta make this email short this week because I have absolutely no time today. I gotta get a haircut and we have an appointment with an investigador soon. haha (yes we are working on Pday today) To answer your question about not working 2 hours because of the siesta hours.... No, we dont get that break. We work from 10 a.m. to about 9 p.m. just about everyday sometimes we get in a little late ´cause of appointments, but those are our working hours.

Ooooook, not a whole lot of exciting news as far as investigadores and baptisms this week, but we should have 1 or 2 next week.

Saturday morning that old man that i brought sacrament to a few weeks ago passed away, so yesterday we had his funeral service. It was pretty sad for the branch. The funeral services went really well yesterday. Elder Obregon and I sang his favorite hymn as a musical number Grande Eres Tu (How Great Thou Art) It was neat to be a part of the servicios. I dont think i´ve ever been to the part of a funeral when they put the casket in the ground and offer the blessing. It was sad cause a lot of people were crying, but it was a good missionary experience for us because a lot of people were asking us questions about what happens after this life. It is such a comforting feeling to know that we the Church of Jesus Christ has all the answers and it is perfect in everyway.

Lets see, on a much happier note, it sounds like everyone had a great Happy Halloween! Your pics were great! haha i have the cutest nieces and nephews! Here we had Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. The kids here (trick or treat) 2 days!! No fair haha! And they ask for money instead of candy! its ridiculous. Elder Obregon and I bought a bag of candy to give out while we were out and about walking the streets. All the kids would run up to me and say, (in spanish of course) Hey its a white person, lets go ask him for lots of money! haha they were dissappointed to only receive candy, but as missionaries we dont get payed very well ; ) haha
I received letters from Grandma and Grandpa Heap tell them thank you and that I´ll be praying for Uncle Verl and his family too! Also received a letter from Car! Tell her thanks and that i love her! Oh and I sent Todd and Ash an email last week, let me know if they received it.

Oh and Bradley you´re a stud, 9-0, Go Toros!

Love you all! Until next week
Con amor,
Elder Greg Heap
