well, here we are again. I swear last P-day was yesterday. We were pretty busy again this week. Last monday we had a soccer tournament. That was super fun. Tuesdsay we took Erick (my recent convert) out tracting with us, we went on splits... Elders Hughes and Benson went together and I took Erick. We found 1 new investigator, Heather. But unfortunately she's white, therefore, we can't teach her. We have to hand her off this week. Wednesday we had district meeting till 12 then we tracted from 1 to 5. We knocked probably 150 doors and talked to 2 people. of those two people, 1 of them swore at us and the other was a bible basher. Thursday we did the same thing. tracted all day. with pretty much the same result. Friday was the branch party. We played volleyball and smacked a pinata and ate the best bacon wrapped hotdogs i've ever had. a.k.a. Sanoran dogs. I ate 4... Saturday was alright too. We had exchanges. Elder Benson and I took Elder Reneau. We tracted for a few hours, taught a few lessons, went to dinner, and then went to the swap meet. At the swap meet, we switched Elder Reneau for Elder Williams. (my mtc comp whom with I wish I could spend the whole two years.) It's a good thing we switched, too.... We ran into this guy who just wanted to grill us for all we were worth, He was asking Elder benson about his family and Benson told him his dad is dead, then the guy asked how Jesus would let that happen if He loved him. Elder Benson and I were getting furious because of all the personal questions aimed at the death of his dad. Then when he made fun of Elder Benson because of the tremors in his hands, I took a step towards the guy, and Elder Williams could tell I was about to get myself killed, so he put his hand on my shoulder and stopped me. It's a good thing Elder Williams knows me so well. haha.
Then last night we had a fireside for all the spanish branches in the mission. It was cool! It was the first time i had heard President Killpack speak spanish! The missionaries sang called to serve and we made everybody cry! haha I love it when that happens.
As for our investigators... David got dropped:(
Raquel is still golden for the 7th.
oh and remember Bill? He relapsed with drugs. He's been high for the past 4 days. How great, huh?... SO FRUSTRATING. needless to say, it's been a stressful week. Hopefully this one can be better. Thank you for all the love and prayers. You are all amazing children of our HEAVENLY FATHER. NEVER forget that. He is there. He WILL answer you.
-Elder Alston
