Red coals

 Hello all another week down! This coming  Wednesday i hit 7 months on the mission!!! Absolutely crazy its just gettin faster and faster. This week went very well and even made some really good relationships along the way a part i Absolutely love! It makes the time here so much funner when you start making relationships and have fun with the people not just teach them. Im loving it more and more! This week we had 6 new people in church that are in teaching and 3 inactive members that weve been teaching so that been very good! One of them is a older lady that is the nicest person ever shared her testimony in church and it was absolutly amazing i was inpressed. Its really sad her husband dose not suport her faith or anything so its been hard for her but shes been too church twice with us and has been making friends and laughing it up. So cool too see when the members help them out and make them feel welcome. We've received a bit of rain throughout the week but on Saturday we got pounded. The streets were running and the streams were now rivers. The wind ripped tree limbs off all over and the streets were a mess. We had to cross this so called river that was definitely full of sewage water that was up to my knees so too the waist of my comp not really but, its was so nasty but got to do what you got to do😂 It made for a fun wet day and night. It made the frogs come alive ive been chasin my companion with them he absolutely hates them he wont forgive me its hilarious. It was also my comps birthday this week so we had a huge party for him and ate too much cake. The cake here is absolute garbage its sooo bad. This coming Thursdays we have transfers and im pretty sure im staying and im really hoping for a new kid from the CCM and i get to train that would be so cool. But we will have to see what happens! 

I got to listen to a talk that talked about church and why we go he used the example of a fire. When you have a big fire you have big red hot coals and when you take a coal out and set it aside it gets cold and black and you can pick it up with you hand. But if you put it back with time it will heat back up. Its the same with church and the gospel when we are outside of the (fire) this is the world and the worldly things and when we go to church and act in the gosepl we become spiritually blessed (red again). A simple and easy example thay i love!
Thats all for this week nothing crazy but hope everyone is well and swell and ill talk to everyone 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 ...
