Dang it is cold! I think that is mostly cold just because that we are on bikes! We about froze this week it was insane... Science is fake I don't know because it was definitely under 32 degrees and it was raining. But it is all fun. The people answer the doors more frequently or they are supposed to! Thanks for the drugs (probiotic pills) and the muscle milk I sure hope that they help out. It was pretty intense we ran out of toilet paper in our apartment.
That is sad news about the Bengals I did have a moment of silence for them on Friday. But that is still way cool that they were able to go to the state championship... only 2 teams can do that!
That is awesome that you are doing a service project. I would love to do one of those it isn't really done a lot here because everyone is already struggling with life. It is going to be a lot of fun this week though because we are having a Thanksgiving party this week in the branch. This will be the first ward party on my mission and everyone is going to bring food from the different country that they are from. That is the cool thing about serving in a Spanish branch up in the USA, because everyone is from a different country so they all cook differently, some like spicy food some don't. It is also a problem because the cultures and life styles clash a lot and it is hard for them all to work together really well. That is why we- missionaries- are here!! Sometimes we feel like the therapists.
I am happy that Grandpa Quilter is doing good.
This week was very interesting we didn't have a ton happen. But we did have a mission tour this week and we had Elder Cardon of the 70 come and it was super good. But we didn't get facebook we were all kinda sad because they said by the end of 2013 we would be able to use facebook and well it is the end of 2013. The main reason that we would want facebook is because there are not a lot of people home at 12 o clock in the afternoon. Elder Cardon is pretty intense we had a really good conference.
This week the thought came to me. The work is hastening that is very true... but what does that really mean the work is hastening? yes more people are HEARING the gospel but at the same time it seams like many aren't accepting the gospel... we had a really cool/sad lesson with the DE LEONS. We have taught them everything, they have heard the gospel! So we went in and we kinda told them that we have taught them everything and we told them that they have to decide on their own. I dont know... it is really sad when you feel the spirit and you know that they feel the spirit and then they deny that they felt anything but you can see it in their eyes that they did feel the spirit...aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh. O well we do what we can.
But yes it was so stupid they cancelled church yesterday because there was a little bit of ice on the ground.. They also shut down the whole mission I don't really get it, I think that is mostly so all of the cars don't get wrecked. But yeah 2 of the days last week we couldn't go out because of the weather.. It is true that bikes and ice don't really get along to well..
We did have the opportunity this week to have 6 member presents but we had 4 of them cancel on us it was terrible, nothing is worse than when you take a member out of their house away from their family and your appointments don't even show up... it is really hard to get member presents here because we have 6 missionaries and 50 members.. and we can only go with hermanos that are over 16 years old... which isn't alot of people. Both me and Elder pugmire are having some anger issues with our investigators I don't know #mishprobs...#spanishbranch
BUT that is pretty much what happened this week. I will send the voice recordings of the mission conference it was really good. Maybe it will help you in your calling!
pero hasta le proxima semana! (until next week)
