Well fam,

this week was crazy and I am just going to share two of my favorite memories.

1. This week the whole zone went to the area of some elders to help them contact more families. This is an area exclusively for elderes adn now I know why. THe hermana Rodriguez and I were contacting and talking with a young boy when I heard a whirling noise and felt a small sting and saw a rock smash against the house we where teaching. THe rock hit the hna rodriguez first so she got hte worst of it. We turned around and there was a crazy man in the street glaring at us. La hermana me dijo "vamos" and we started to walk away. THats when I saw him slinging another rock out of hte corner of my eye. IT was about the size of a grapefruit and it nailed me in the ankle. not gonna lie, it wasnt the most pleasant feeling I have felt in the mission. At this point we took off running and he was following us but he couldnt really walk so there wasnt any problem. We were laughing pretty hard, partly because it was kind of funny and partly for hysteria. I officially feel like a real missionary!

 

2. WE had a baptism this weekend of a man named Manuel. He was the first person we contacted here in las americas and it is amazing to so how far we have all come. About 2 weeks into teaching him we decided to stop because we didnt feel like he was progressing and he wasnt coming to church. Well the 3 week he randomly showed up in the chapel and from this point on he hasnt missed and we never have to bring him to church which is a miracle. THis weekend he was baptized and afterwords I asked how he felt. He only said two words but he had tears in his eyes and a smile on his face. 1. Aliviated 2. Triumphant. What a special experience.

 

Well family I love you and would love to hear from you. Please keep me in your prayers. As always you are in mine.
