So whatever you got to do, write it in your planner and go walk around for 8 hours!
The cold front has officially hit and with it random spouts of hard rain mixed with days of lots of rain. Im cold a lot. But now I have a testimony of scarves. I love mine it is warm and I wear it a lot not gunna lie. They are dope. Also umbrellas, rain jackets, rain pants, over boots and gloves. Yay winter!
So just so yall know this week and the next couple weeks is the american cup. Like the world cup but basically for latin america. Super big deal down here. Never heard of it before hand but hey now its all about the copa americana. but it makes it super hard to work during the games. Like when Chile is playing we are told not to be in the street. 1st its dangerous if chile looses and no one will let us in. Its basically a bigger deal than christmas down here. Super big deal. So we get to watch the chile games though. Last time we went to a recent convert named J. He is super cool. also he is studying to be a vet! So he and I talk about that and he is a really nice guy to. So thats super fun. I’m glad for all the years i spent reffing soccer or else i would be completely lost watching this thing. But luckily i understand everything so its kind of fun. Not as good as the super bowl but I’ll take it! Haha
So something cool/interesting about my comp is he is super good at chess. He told me he participated in like competitions and did pretty good. He is ranked nationally or something like that. So he is really good and like math stuff which also means he can do rubiks cubes. He has one and taught me basically how. So after several hours last pday and much thought I CAN DO IT! Thats right I Elder Big and Fluffy Galbreath solved a rubiks cube and can do it constantly. Boom, drop the mike. Just something random and cool that I learned on the mission.
So other funny story we were talking to this guy named R and he was trying to tell us about this restaurant place that spins. Like you go up in this elevator and you sit and you spin. But he didn’t know where it was he thought maybe Argentina. I started thinking and was like wait a minute. Thats my state. He spent like 15 minutes describing the Space Needle without me realizing it. So fun story our state is awesome and famous. Even if it is for the west side.
So last little story for the week, this sunday we were looking at our goals and realized we are lacking a lot of stuff to be able to complete them. Also I have told you guys that this sector is a little hard to enter into houses and teach. But sunday we knocked three doors and the third house let us in. We talked to her and her son who is 9 for a couple minutes when her phone rang. So she left for a minute when all of a sudden her daughter came down and sat on the couch. So we thought sweet 3 new investigators. Then came another kid. And another. Then she came back. We ended up teaching 5 people all of them are above the age of 8, all of them are interested in our message and they all promised to read the pamphlets and pray to look for an answer to see if they should be baptized. Miracles, they exist.
That is pretty much my week.

Scripture or church article. Well I am reading general conference and everytime i love the talk about hearing the music not just dancing. Also don’t know if i told you their is an activity in PMG we are doing as a mission. Read the BoM marking every reference to Jesus (name, title, etc), every doctrine and principle, attributes of Christ, and everything that is a direct quote from Jesus (and jesus said, the lord said to me, etc) It is super cool to see how much of all of that there is. It is hard at times to discern what is doctrine at times so you really have to think about it. Super cool. There is a lot.
Love yall be strong the Lord is on your side
