HAPPY HALLOWEEN, I didn’t even remember it was Halloween till i read the letters. I had forgotten about it. They don’t celebrate it here, but sounds awesome. Is it cold there yet? Cause let me tell ya it is stinkin hot here!!! Congratulations Nicole!!!!!! did you pick one of the names i suggested? Ha. This week was awesome and hard. Lots of funny stuff happened. I will start off by letting Devin now... that you read my mind about the watermelon and milk. Holy cow! So this last Sunday one of our members told us that we couldn’t drink milk and eat watermelon at the same time cause it would give you bad stomach problems and then kill you... well me and my comp found that rather funny and decided to try it out. So we bought a watermelon and a liter of milk each and went and sat out on the road while the people drove by so they could have their minds blown at the sight of 2 gringos eating ´´death´´. Well it was very funny there faces as they drove by and we got a good kick out of it. We then continued to play soccer after and about 10 minutes in i just about had an accident it hit me so fast. I took off running for the church in the middle of the game and didn’t not enjoy my time in the bathroom (forgive me for the descriptiveness) I AM A FIRM BELIEVER IN MILK AND WATERMELON. I will never eat those to again in my life and for all those that read this i invite you to do the same. My comp the next day also received his punishment and we couldn’t leave more then 15 minutes from the house cause we had to return on a quick notice. It was so funny. That’s my funny story. As for success this last week we found multiple new families to teach, and we are way excited to see who is going to progress and what’s going to happen with them. The family of 7 that was going to get baptized this week well she had her baby Saturday and had it through cesaria (that’s Spanish not sure how it is in English it when they cut them open) she is really weak and not going to be able to get baptized for a while. It was so sad when that hit us, we were really happy for her and then realized she can’t get baptized for a while.... we are not sure what to do, cause sátanas works really hard when there is down time. They are ready and we need to act soon or sátanas is going to mess every thing up. There is no such thing as a smooth baptism. I love this family so much, and i really really want this blessing for them in their lives but there is always a trial. We will keep working with them.
Couple other updates, i have started to gain weight i can see it and feel it, maybe one day I’ll be a really big fat man. (I don’t think so.) i have also started the Book of Mormon in gaurani... don’t kid yourself i am very slow at it and alot of dictionary but it really cool!!!. i also gave a talk yesterday on the Book of Mormon in church, there was a time on my mission where i got caught up in learning about the bible but i really now understand better the importance of that book. I’m with Elder Holland on this one, but, no man can come to the knowledge of the importance and the truthfulness of the work and this church with out a testimony of the Book of Mormon. If you don’t read it then you don’t understand the importance of the restored gospel. Women, men, kid ,teenager, old fogie. everybody should read it. Our president committed every missionary in the last interviews, for the rest of our lives, to read at least one verse or line or anything, but pick up the Book of Mormon at least once a day. I love it. thanks for the letters and enjoy your Halloween.! love you
