Day with the dinosaurs

No idea why Dad wouldn’t want that plate in the rv. I mean really come on dad. Someone get him an interior decorator. 
Also the phones, like how big are we talking? We saw someones phone the other day that was legitimately to big. Like her entire hand big. 
Anywho yeah pretty exciting week. 

So imagine running to an appointment, teaching in a language you don’t understand, running from that appointment to a members house, pretending not to be in a rush while actually being 10 minutes late, going to that cita, saying goodbye to them and running to the other side of the town to a fhe while it is hot as heck out all day and you forgot your water bottle in the house that day. YAYYY thursdays!! 
Just kidding it wasn’t that bad. Like we did all of those things but it wasn’t as bad as it sounds. But yeah this week started off like it would never end all we did was contact because our citas just kept falling but ended with not enough time in the day to do everything. I definitely prefer days with not enough time to days when you wonder when it will end. Much better. 
So Elder Mcguina left tuesday morning. We have Elder Bàez now. He is from Santiago. He seems cool. His english sucks so we talk mostly spanish in the house. But he has 21 months in the mission. So he is gunna die here. But at night sometimes he will read my english BOM and translate it into spanish and I’ll listen and read from my spanish BOM and it actually helps. Its kinda cool to see it going down. 

But yeah so we were super busy this week and it was awesome. So we have 3 people with fechas (dates for baptism) And they are doing pretty well. One is a really new investigator named C and she wants to study english and teach english so she speaks pretty good english. Last cita we had she asked us if next time we can talk in english to help her understand. I was like you know what I can do that. So that was cool. Its weird to teach in english though Sanders and I both reverted back to spanish a bunch. Kinda cool but weird. 
M J is a slightly older investigator having been taught for like 3 months now but she is progressing pretty well. 
Then N has been taught for 6 months now and is finally accepting a fecha. Her Husband Jose is a super awesome dude and we love teaching them but he just wants to be so sure about everything. So working on him and them attending for all 3 hours of church instead of leaving after sacrament. 
But sunday was super busy because we had 5 investigators in church and 3 of those had a bunch of kids to. (Read as: WE HAD 5 INVESTIGATORS IN CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) So super hectic, and an inactive family we are reactivating came to. They weren’t coming because her boys didn’t have ties to wear to church. So Sanders and I gave them 2 ties and they came. 

So funny story we have a part member family that we teach a lot, anyway the girl just turned 8 and she is like the typical girl but she is like in love with us so for her birthday she wouldn’t let anyone eat cake until we came over. So we came over taught quickly and then ate cake and left. Pretty cool but it was funny just because like nothing was happening until we got there. 
So final story Haynes and Bàez were planning and Haynes was telling him about an investigator they have who wont get bapitzed because her dad wont let her. So without even blinking Bàez says "then we pray for him”.

Hi Bill and Julie.
Ok so sorry you shot bad dad. That sucks. But I was pretty good this week. So kinda cool one lady had a scale and I lost 15 lbs since the start of my mission. Booyah. Ok so...
1 where are you gunna put the freezer? 
2: haha dad said hang out. Ok im done. 
3: you have seen the movies, pistols are only good for the 6 shots riding on a horse then you chuck it at the good guy. 

This week was pretty good. Apparently when I blinked like half the week disappeared. 
So something cool I am realizing. The Lord knows when you are at your wits end and will help you if you ask. Every time I get home and just think I am done I don't know if I can keep going I’m gunna die, the next day just goes so well and this back half of the week was just awesome. Lots of citas and it was cool. But first couple days i was dragging the entire time just couldnt get excited. It sucked. But yeah. So thats cool. 
We are currently looking for a house. We got a call last week, the people we are renting from want it back so we have until December 1st to find a new house and move into a new house. So really like another week because paperwork stuff.  Super awesome.... Add that onto everything else we are doing now. Also keep the missionary objective, and learn a new language!!! Ha its great. Good stories for my kids right?

But yeah thats my week. 
Don’t worry about the package apparently the mail is really good and ill get it in like 5 weeks to 7 weeks, 7 is rare though. 

Love you momma
