hey everyone! this week was another hot one! we havent gotten another good monsoon since the last.
We tried to go see Pedro again this week but everyday, he didnt answer his door. We'll keep trying. on thursday we were riding down a street when a pack of six dogs came around the corner and started coming head on with us. we both took out our knives and prepared for battle. but when the dogs got within 10 feet of us, they turned and went the other way. I guess we are just that intimidating... haha
We had the opportunity to take the branch president out with us on saturday and sunday night. He is great. We have reactivated one family and we are getting close with three others. Its crazy to see how this change in our branch is bringing so many people back!
On friday we had a grweat lesson with a guy named Derek. We taught him the plan of salvation and as soon as I said we could live with our family forever, he broke down crying and told us that his mom died. I let him know that I knew he would see her again. I told him about Tyler and Millie. And together, we cried. Unfortunately, he doesnt speak spanish, so we have to pass him off to the english elders.
Our district just set a mission record! 1st ever district to reach Standards of excellence(20 lessons, 2 people progressing, 2 at church, 5 member present lessons, and 3 new investigtors. in a week) as a whole! It's a pretty good feeling!
I think that's all I have this week! OH! next week is transfers so I might be emailing monday or tuesday... or both. haha we'll see. Ill let you know what happens with transfers too! love you all! -Elder Alston
