Hello people!

So this week was a lot better! Man I feel a lot better! thanks for the prayers and stuff! you guys are just the bees knees.

Anyways what happened this week?

First off, we had an activity with the ward that didn`t go too well. The ward members all promised to bring non member friends and stuff like that and no one came but members... So the ward mission leader (kind of a weirdo) basically lectured the whole ward... awkward. It was frustrating though. It`s us and the assistants in the same ward and there`s not much progress cause we never have time outside the office. UGH! But the good news is is that i felt good the whole week and worked just normal.

We said bye to an elder this week and went to his last supper with him and the president. Have I told you all lately that my president is the most inspired man on earth recently? well he is. Easily my favorite part about being in the office is just listening to him all the time. Just wow.

So like i said we had no time out of the office this week and we had a tooooon of lessons planned with new people and we missed every. single. one. I think we had like three lessons this week. SAD! and they were such good lessons too. It was amazing. We were contacting and we just started to just talk about how the lord helps us through trials. No idea why we did but the investigator ended up crying and telling us that they`re going through some stuff right now and that`s just what they needed to hear... wow... the spirit`s cool. It`s like a super power. so anyways we had only a few lessons this week but they were reallly really good so we`ll reschedule with them for next week.

my new comp, elder flores is suuuuuuper good at street contacting. We`ve gotten really into it. We`re just walking and he just will decide to talk with someone and it`s just really cool. Very fun and different. I like talking with strangers.

we had a newbie in our house the other day for immigrations and he has two weeks in the mission and i`ve never seen someone more proud. He thinks he`s fluent already and just the best. we went out with him after he was done with immigrations and he acted like he was training us. it was super weird. my comp doesn`t speak english fluently but he started yelling and him saying BE HUMBLE! That part was funny. cause man was he just a little proud goober. he`s a hard worker but probably the most annoying missionary i`ve ever talked to. Sorry for venting but that elder... man.

anyways that`s about it. we have some new people like Tania, familia montaño, laura calle, and others so the work is progressing. we just need time to actually teach them haha.

talk to you all next week!
