Bueno
Well all of the holidays are done---yeah.
We also had the opportunity to go to the temple this week!! It was kinda unexpected but the sisters needed someone to do the baptisms for Jenny because she was going to the temple for the first time- doing baptisms for the dead. Well it turns out that missionaries can't do baptisms for the dead??? at least for the opposite sex... I don't know I guess there is a reason for everything. So we just watched and a temple worker did it... it was a very good gringo accent!!... But it was still cool to see and the spirit of the temple is always nice!! After that the president of the temple talked to us for a while and told us about the symbolism of the temple in Oklahoma, it is about Jacob's ladder and then there is a square and then a circle inside... he said that the square represents the earth and the circle represents heaven and the temple is were heaven and earth meet. It was very cool to see this. see the pictures
And this week I hit the 6 month mark, it is crazy how fast it is all going!!! time flies when you are having fun!--so I don't know why time is flying!! haha just kidding it Is a ton of fun. But it sure isn't easy.
This week was really good. I finally saw an investigator at church it was a milargo!! His name is Ebuerto-- yeah kinda weird but he is visiting with the gomez family who live in our area. We went over to their house for a lunch and we didn't know that he was going to be there. But when we got there hermana said that they had someone visiting with them. Well it turns out that he is amazing, he is solid at church, he was participating in the lessons and wants to go do service at the food bank this week!! It was an answer to the prayers!!

That night after the temple we went to go talk to Hermano Garcia who has told us that he has no desire to go to the temple... well after we talked to him we got him to commit to praying for a desire to go to the temple, because it, well it is a commandment.... we got him on that one. We both don't know why he is so stiff in not gong to the temple. Oh well we will get him there pretty soon!!!
Elder Guzman showed me some of his bmx stuff now I can do some tricks. Church was very cool this week, luckily we had it... it snowed right before... but we were able to get 2 references and everyone was in a really good mood. I am ready to get some work done here and get some people wet!!!! Well have a good week!! I'll see you in a couple hundred days.
