September 9.2013, Week 9

Thanks so much for all of the packages i love them

Well we are a little bit later in writing today because we just helped a person with their car, it just stopped in the middle of an intersection-I guess that is what you get when you pray for service.  When she asked who we were we said that we were reps. of Jesus Christ.  She just started crying.  She was so thankful, she was an African and she didint speak much English.  But is was a good way to start off the week...  

Man sounds like a crazy week... tell Eli and Joel well done in the games-even if they did lose.  

I HATE SATAN yeah that Aztec family, they were just blessed with a new job, isn't that great... No, now we can never teach them.  They are only free on Thursday nights it is insane.  One of the biggest problems we have is getting others to church.  Our branch is so weak- in numbers... but i was just thinking if i could have our ward come out to Oklahoma.  The branch here would be amazing.  That is one benifit of serving a mission in utah, so many members.  And it seems like when we do get members out none of our investigators are home ahhhh.  O yeah last night we were eating at A MEMBERS house and up on on of their shelf was a nice big bottle of wine....

that was a different conversation, how they had that haha
but we got it cleared up.

It is getting darker here earlier and that means that the doors close earlier.  We were out tracting last night for our last hour 8-9 and it was really hard there are no street lights in our area so it looks like we are up to no good.  You know just two people in white shirts and ties walking along..  We did get 2 referrals through one Mexican family and one English--we are pretty good at guessing what houses are Spanish and what ones aren't. Can you Google and send what to look for in a Spanish house???  

But this week we are really going to try to get a lot of new investigators... on Friday we went out tracting and we sayw this car and it had a bumper sticker that said jesucristo on it we were like sweet hermanos...no..english...not any English...crazy drunk English.  Right when she opened the door she said i love Mormons.  So we went in, she started talking about all of the crazy stuff and how faith isn't even needed any more but she loved us.  It was very weird haha...she also offered us a drink but she was like I only have dr. pepper and coke...I said that I would like a dr.pepper  she was so shocked...I HATE MORMON Myths-  that was the main reason i took it (also because all i have been drinking the last 3 weeks is tamirain juice--it tastes like laundry detergent-- i spelled it wrong too)... But one the cool experiences that happened this week was that we had two less active families come to church who haven't been there for 7 weeks.  It was awesome to see them make that big step to go back to church..  But that is about it.

I went to chuck house--best chicken fry in the universe..also a very good way to die of a heart attack yuuuum

Tell people aka the wardies to write me -- ryan sasha and eddie.. and tell jackson to shoot me an email every week how brighton is doing!!!! por favor!
it is hard not knowing...i hear the Friday night lights and it kill's me..  also keep sending the stuff about Uaea (friend that plays for the U)  that is so sickkkkkk...and also the university of utah scores... and only byu's when they loose.  my comp is a byu fan 

loves ya'll
