Sleepy rides

 Hola! This weeks been pretty eventful to sum it up. Quite a bit has happend and some fun stuff to go along with it! To start off the week we were in a Carrido which is like a taxi thing but three people up front and four in the back. We were on our way home from our meetings and it was like a 30-40 min drive. The sun was cooking and i was so squished and sweaty it was bad. But i was so tired that i fell asleep and My companion did too.... lets just say i woke up to a sharp turn that felt unfamiliar and immediately yelled "Donde puedas" which just like mean pull over where you can. Stafford woke up too and lets just say we had to walk a little bit more then usual. We were able to put 4 other people that we've been teaching on date so thats awsome! One dude even gave us some baby cactuses 🌵. One of our guys that has had a date for a while is supposed to get baptized this Saturday so we are really hoping it all works out because transfers are next Thursday so. About mid week i was in the middle of my rare mid day nap on my bed with my fan on high when i woke up to the curtin in my face. I jumped up and looked out the window and there was just a wall of rain racing down the street and the wind had to be blowing like 60 - 70 no joke. The wall of rain hit the house and was raining sidways through the windows. We had to got around the house and shut them all. Every window leaks and we had a few puddles. The other day we were teaching a lady and she was asking about a guy but couldent remember so i said jose smith and she said no so she said some things and i said it again and she said no. My companion then said jose smith and she goes oh ya that guy. Bru... so frustrating my accent is so white, spanish is killing me. Some days you feel good then others you just wanna sit there in silence thinking in english. But thats not very missionary like so. Thats pretty much what happend throughout the week but i did listen to a talk and it said " A journey of 1000 miles starts with one mile, so watch your step." So true, one choice could lead you where you want to go or maybe take you into a dark hole where you dont want. I also heard another that talked about knowing what we want before the choice comes too us. Like Alice and the wonderland. The girl asked which hole do i take and the cat said depnds where you wanna go. If you dont know where you wanna go it dont matter what hole you choose. Make the choice now where your going to go and stick too it. Hope everyone is doing well! Talk to ya later!!

  Well, this week has been full of surprises.We had to drop two of our people that we had on for baptism dates. But one of the other ones got pushed back A week so don't know if we'll have any baptism this transfer but. Been able to find a lot of cool new people And get to know them too. This week was really busy between having zone conference and companion exchanges It was a pretty hectic week. I love walking in the streets.Cause all you hear's gringo, gringo, non-stop and all the little kids come running up to you and try to shake your hand and run their hands down your arm.Trying to slip the bracelet or watch or your ring off your fingers its pretty funny. I did find out that my companion elder Stafford is deathly deathly deathly Scared of spiders like it's not even funny. Last night I was in bed and I hear him screaming for his life. And I run out the door and hes like spider spider spider. He's like about to faint like bro, it's just a spider. And this thin...

  This week was a full one to say the least a lot happend. Lots of really touching experiences that were really cool! I got to go on a companion exchange and got to got to the heart of down down santiago. The elder i went with in charge of all social media and all the referrals that people put in. So i ended up not going out in the morning and just on a computer going through them and calling them. Crazy how many people hit the link and fill it out but then say they never did it haha. Like buddy you filled out your whole name email and phone number haha. But after that we got to go out for a little and met with this really old lazy. She was the sweetest person ever. Shes 81 and we got to talking and giving her a lesson and she told us a story that was pretty touching. She said one day she started to feel really hot and her skin started to look black including her face. She went to a doctor and she said it got worse and she said she was never going back. She picked up the bible and ...
