Wowsers Family
So this week was kinda interesting... It all started with us realizing that we dont have any investigators.. well to be honest we had 4.. haha so this week we had some pretty solid goals to find some people to teach. We were able to find three really solid families out of nowhere and well that was really awesome.. we go and we are knockin doors and stuff and well this is what happened or how we found one of the families.. so i was standing there and looking at all the houses in front of me and i saw that the letters were w.. and i was like hey my moms name starts with w so then i saw the numbers and it was like 28 29 30 and then i was like we are going to knock on that gray door over there. it was number 31 and so we knock on the door and all of a sudden a lady answers the door.. well we talk to her for a good amount of time at the door.. we were trying to visit her because she had mentioned that her husband was home but resting.. well her name was blanca zapata.. or something along those lines of white shoe.. it was hilarious! when she told us her name i almost started laughing.. but anyway back to my story, she went and talked to her husband and then came and let us in.. then the second time we visited them this week we asked her husband to pray and he was so awesome and started to cry because he felt so good praying. then another family we found because they were sitting outside their house and we were like hey we're going to share a message with you.. they were like ok... haha. then the other family we found knocking on their door.. so this week was pretty awesome and i was very happy that we found real families with dads and every thing... also this week the bishop decided he is going to be a little bit cooler.. he told all the ward that they need to work harder and really put forth some effort to companion us.. so well this week was a lot better than last week.. alex started to roll into seminary all by himself.. he is so bomb. and well that was my week hope all is well at home..

Alex's baptism

Holy cow!!!
Well it sure sounds like a busy week at home and around the family this week.. Not gonna lie all of the information that i got today made me really happy and laugh a ton.. especially the part where someone put a flaming bag of poop on the porch at jillyn's. perfect timing that kelli was there to say dont step on it.. the only thing that could have made it better would have been ally saying dont tell me my business devil woman.. haha that is hilarious, not gonna lie. And well after that Brooklyn Moore went and won miss laverkin! also really cool something her brothers never could have done.. haha but congrats Brooklyn hope all is well down south. i haven't heard from your family in quite sometime so now that you won that and stuff i am thinking the family should shoot me a line.. Brandon... and Sherri... also.... and well i was also super happy to hear that stephen is waiting for his call and well troy also.. it was funny because i was actually thinking about them this week and when i was going to hear about where they would be headed. that is awesome that i will get to know very soon..
Well for me this week was on both sides of the line.. The good side!! --Well hno alex and hna jenny got baptized and confirmed!!! Awesome as i have been saying alex is one of the coolest kids and i really hope he goes on a mission, but he has some time to prepare. he is only 16.. and well after that... the good side stops.... haha why? let me tell you.. so we had a meeting with the bishop in our area and we were telling him how we need more men to companion us and guess what he said to us... look you guys don't understand now, but after the mission you will understand the people just don't have time to companion the missionaries. we have work, school, and kids to take care of and so ya tough luck.. and then he started to fight with one of the other missionaries in the ward about who knows what, because the other missionary didn't say or do anything, but the bishop started singing paz calmense... it was hilarious and really dumb.. so after that nice experience i was really angry and called president manning and told him the bishop basically told us he doesn't want us here.. so i don't know what's gonna happen but life in the area is getting more difficult, but interesting. well we had 5 lessons this week.. pretty tough but obla di obla da... you know what follow.

Baptism set up!

Well this week family was actually awesome!!!
We were able to have more than ten lessons. well it was just pretty crazy because we talked to hno alex and his mom jenny about their baptism and they are super prepared. they are one of the best opportunities i have had in my mission because i have actually been able to see a change in this kid...he makes me feel really good and recognize why i am here and how i work..i feel really good to know this kid, as i have said before. also we were able to talk to more people in the street and find more people to teach. one day was super awesome and the next day not kidding everyone we talked to was a jehovas witness or evangelical.. i don know but they all just wanted a punch to the face.. one of the jehovas witness´ told us, i dont want
to read your book or have any interest in josesph smith because that is all you believe in and we couldn't say anything.. it was gay!! but i love this gospel and this message that we get to share with all the people.. i love you all and hope you have a great week.. happy birthday also to Carrie., and Grandpa tomorrow!!! hope you both have an awesome day and party like rockstars.. haha
