Everything is going really good. Now i can actually tell you stuff because I actually know whats going on now haha. first of all. yes mom, you wishing for us to get investigators was totally appropriate. all last week we had 0. right before i got here they lost all of em cause the elder i replaced was to put it kindly, really dumb. but now we are getting back, we got a couple referrals from the Sisters, a family they found. Olga and Daniella. Olga is married to a Gringo and their son Juan doesnt speak spanish, i know weird, cause the husband cant speak spanish and the mom cant speak english, yeah i dont know. but Olgas goal is to get baptized into a Christian church this year, and hey!!! would ya look at that, guess whose Christian! we are;) then later that day we found Miguel, we knocked into him on literally the last house of the day. we were in a trailer park and picked two houses to knock, and Miguel was in one. we just set a return date cause it was really late and we had to get home, plus he was basically asleep too. and we came back and he was totally there. ha that in itself never happens. so we taught the first lesson to both that family and miguel, those were to seperate lessons, but i got to commit them both to baptism. they said yes then i got excited... on the inside, outside i was like oh great, then testified it would help, hahaha but i forgot to set a date... so thats our goal for those people this week. we have another family, impossible to meet with. oh!!!!!! ok so that family, we decided to just stop by to see how they were, we saw lights and knocked but we figured they were in bed so we didnt knock again, we just were gonna leave a card. well i started writing and E. Briggs was holding the phone to gimme some light. my back to the door, Briggs looks up and just screams and jumps back like ten feet. which obviously scared me. so i yelled at that, we then i turned around to see a small Honduranian woman looking through the glass in the door. her dark skin and super big white eyes.... oh my gosh. i screamed so loud!!! she came out just dying!!! we went by yesterday and only met with Angie, the daughter, the rest are sick, but she said that Esther, the mom, tried to tell her what happened and was laughing so hard she was crying haha. oh man. but yeah we are finding people now. the most frustrating thing is when they say oh all churches are good, haha oh my. Cindy, some white lady we knocked into. she wouldnt touch the BofM. so weird!!!! but she wont get out of our minds so we are going to either have to go talk to her or refer her to the English elders (we arent allowed to really go back to them if they dont speak Spanish, we just refer them) but yeah. i am enjoying it. the food is good. we had this stuff yesterday that tasted like Chicken Continental, Mexican Style. Super good. i had a lot. but sunday, one member fed us stuff called Mole. there was this really good meat, beans and a WHOLE LOT of Mole. i ate it all. but i have recovered. strangely the thing that has had the worst reaction with me is Taco Bell. hahahaha funny stories.
but we are doing good. stayin safe. i think were going to play some lazer tag today;) so we will let yall know how that goes... im allowed to say yall cause everyone does here:) but i reeeeally miss the mountains. just using them as a compass. i never know which was East or West is. haha but hope everyone is doing good!!!!
