June 20th

well... this week was a little more eventfull than the last week. what happend here. welll we started off with a tri-zone confrence where our mission president gave us constructive critsism. it was cool i guess. just like those Jeffery R holland mtc talks. he came out with a new and improved one ha ha... but yeah. things are great here... 
after this confernce i had the oportunity to go on divisions with another elder. there we committed 2 people to baptism! was great. 
so i did end up getting a package here. i got dads books!!  yeah i know dads books what excitement... no you dont really know untill you start reading them. way to go dad with writing them. there are a few missionaries our here jealous about my dad. they say he runs 100 milers write books... what more does he do? haha but im about 100 pages into it. lets just say after my mission i want to go back to the church sites and see what i have been reading about.
so the story of the week.... 
we headed out to go talk to our investigators and were walking down this road about 2 miles if not more. and finally get to their house. there we talk and teach a little bit about the plan of salvation and all that jargon. cool stuff... well on the way back we get a ride from a pastor. he invited us into the truck and pretty much bashed us. telling us our religion is (a bad word) and that were of the devil. i asked him a question that he couldnt answer.. where did you get your authority? couldnt answer that question. BAM! i know where i got mine.. but thats not the story.
so the road we walked down 10 minutes after we passed or walked on this road a drive by happend. 3 people got capped.! wow imagine if we were running 10 minutes late. this big white blinding glare of a person (ME) would be a prime target. well lets just say im not going back there... scary stuff... 
yesterday we herd even more gun shots. i make sure before i leave to say a prayer of saftey here... ha ha 

well thats the week in a nut shell... today nothing much is going down. going to buy food. and sleep some more... thats about it. a agentine elder is making us food tonight at a members so that should be fun!! yay
