November 10, 2013, Week 18


Traannnnnnsfers and me and Elder Pugmire are staying!! boom done with the training!

LUNES: Had some fun playing soccer.  We then had dinner with the Delgados and we drank some gnarly drink that makes you even more thirsty... I felt like Dumbledore when he was drinking that witchcraft potion and every time he drank it he go even thirstier.. it was terrible!!  I was so thirsty after soccer and i forgot to drink water.  Got to love Mexican agua.  After dinner Brother Delgado showed us his songs that he mixed (I guess he is a DJ but he is so quiet so it is kinda weird)... but he really likes English music, but the only problem with that, is that he doesn't understand all of the words.  He had a couple of mixes that were kinda apostate!  That was pretty much all we did on p-day.

MARTES: WE had a lot of fun! We didn't have any appointments so we were not looking forward to the day really. But we went out with faith and we saw the reward.  It started really hard and we were not getting anyone answering the door.  But then we went to 11th street and we decided that we were just going to park the bikes and go knocking.  Lets just say that we found 4 families, it was so cool we set up 4 return appointments.  We then went to dinner at the Aquinos...  then when we were riding back we saw all of these cop cars, so we went to go see what was up and there was a car on fire and it was in the drive thru at Carls J-- we then saw the fire truck put it out, it was some cool entertainment...  usually when we see cop lights we go and see what happened because it is the closest thing we can get to a action movie.  We then had a really good lesson with the De loens about going to church but they are still struggling because of the the influence of their Dad.  It is sad.

MIERCOLES:  We had a supper good lunch at the Gomezes house, the only problem with them is that the food isn't hot because they are from Columbia, and I guess they don't really like hot food as much?  but she was a chef so her food is way good.. We then went to the library and did mormon. org -- my last one:)  we then had an early dinner at the Morales house she made some Mule Verde, it was really good we then went to the church and taught our family history class it went pretty good.

JUEVES:  Got another new family to teach,  the Montanez, it was a supper good lesson.  Then a whole bunch of no shows to appointments.

VIERNES:  We had some taco bell for lunch, i don't know why I am still suffering from that choice.  we had dinner with Hermana Olea. And then we went to the Riascos house and Hermano Riasco said that he wanted to go through the temple.. and to have his family sealed!! Boom!

SABADO:  Well I am short on time so I am going to have to haul!  So we had a really good lesson with Carmello and Esther we learned more about their lives.  Esther is only 18 years old and she has a 2 year old daughter, it was very cool to hear her story, she was able to graduate high school with a 3.6 and raise a child at the same time... Carmelo works up in Kansas during the week and then he comes home for the week ends.. he is about 23 years old.  It was an intense lesson they both want to go to church but they don't want to go to each others churches....PERFECT because they can come to ours!!!  It was super cool...  she then talked about how her sister who is only 15 is having a hard time and how she ran away from the house and they don't know where she is.  She said that they have found her with prostitutes and she is always on drugs.  It was very sad to hear this...a 15 year old daughter of god is going through these things..  We then testified about prayer and how  God loves all of his children and how there is always hope in this world... probably one of the coolest experiences in my mission.

DOMINGO:  We had a super good turn out at church.   I think that the branch in on an incline!  We had a really cool day, we then had dinner at the Ramirezes house and we had some tuna fish sand whiches I HATE TUNA... I would rather eat taco de ojos but o well I guess that is the life of a missionary..  luckily they always have hot sauce so I just put a ton of hot sauce on it so I couldn't even taste the flavor of tuna.  We then had a cool lesson with the De Leons we went in saying that we were going to just ask them the baptism questions and so we asked the first question and they failed!!!  We knew that their answer wasn't true,  because they have felt the spirit... we then talked about God for the next hour and half.. it was the most intense lesson I had ever been in... we watched the patterns of light Mormon messages and it was cool to see them learn from them.  I think that in the end that they learned that WE DO HAVE A GOD... uhhhh it is annoying... but after that I got my patriarchal blessing at Brother Huttos house it was way cool.. it said some pretty intense stuff in it!

buttt that is pretty much the week have fun editing this keyboard is super sticky!!
