Well i hope you all had a great pioneer day! been reading dads books and it has made me think a little bit more about the sacrifice that our 43 ancestors made for us to get to the salt lake valley. be thankful for what you have!
so this week has been eventufull.. i didnt get changed neither did my companion. i have mixed feelings about it. but we will see how things work out really. im having a great time out here and getting along with the members more as the days go by. we have this one family who takes us in when ever and they feed us. they have a little cute girl who were good friends, and always is asking her mom when im coming over.. funny stuff... this week not a whole lot happend. ellections are going on here. so everyone is all in a uproar for that. here is a little diffrent. there are 8 political parties all going for the spot of president. weird but yeah. they bribe people like no other like go around giving food out and t-shirts and what not. i guess if it works then ya do it.
had the oportunity yesterday to go out on divisions with a member to get to know more of the members in the other area. was a good expirence and we had a good lesson. i enjoyed after talking to him about his mission and how people are. we have come to realize the more dissobedient missionaries tend to baptize more.. interesting stuff. not saying im going to pull a 180 and change or anything but was interesting.
were on the hunt out here for more people to teach. everyday were learning new ways to contact people. for example random house... ''comp give me a random name!, ummm rodrigo. we then follow with knocking on the door and asking if they know anyone with the name we give eachother then start small talk with them. eventually tie it in to the gospel and what were doing a long way from our houses. its really funny to see what people do and how they react. we gave a name and a person actually knew some one by that name... uhhhh. yeah was aquard.
so other than that nothing really is going on here. im enjoying this time i have here in this area. love my mission! we have interviews with president this week and that should be cool to see him. i havnt seen him in about a month now..
year mark this week. thats cool. i talked members into making me something for that day. i think a cake or something. but i have to make a cake for the sister for her birthday on the 5th. so we will see what goes down. im afraid for this next year. i hear time goes by faster your second year... this year went by super fast... and now its going to be faster. i gotta get my rear in gear and work harder. ill have time to rest when i get home...
thanks for the letters and emails!! i love you guys!
