hey everyone! this week was good. we were told that it was the best week Los Reales has ever had. In the history of the mission! our district alone had 98 lessons. Elder Peterson and I had 30. We had a really good finding week. We found 5 new investigators and taught 11 lessons on thursday. then on friday we found 3 more. (that doesnt typically happen...) haha. so sitting in church yesterday, while a talk was being given, the 1st counselor asked me to speak on missionary work.... OH GREAT... haha so I just took my scriptures up there and shot from the hip. It went dead silent while I was speaking... so I either said something really meaningful, or I just butchered every word. haha kinda like other side of heaven. except nobody laughed at me. yet.
one of our new investigators, Pedro, was working on his car when we first walked up, so I started talking to him about cars. then we got into the fuirst lesson. (the restoration) and we taught him the whole thing right there in his driveway. when I invited him to take a copy of the book of mormon, he immidiately said yes and told us to come back and keep teaching him. so now we have 16 investigators, and 5 or so less active families in our area that we get to work with. We have our work cut out for us. but Thats what we're called to do. work.
on our bike ride home on saturday night, we were just cruising down the road when this guy just started booking it out from behind a bush. straight at us. he was looking like he was getting ready to tackle Elder Peterson off his bike, so I started to slow down, took my right hand off, made a fist, and got ready to deck the guy. as soon as I was about to swing, He yelled.. oh sorry I thought you were someone else!!... haha so the lesson of the day is, dont do drugs. or you'll end up like that guy! hiding behind bushes waiting for people to ride passed on bikes!
then we were almost home, and We saw a snake, so of course, play with it right? haha elder peterson kicked it becasue he thought it was dead. it wasnt. haha it coiled up so fast. I've never seen my companion move that fast! I got a pretty good laugh out of it though! haha
ok I think thats all. I love you! thank you for the prayers and support! they're much needed!
