So i told my mom i was going to write more this week and just realized that yet again i am going to lose time. so i am going to really focus and write fast.
so this week was really fun. i gave my first district meeting and it was awesome. i just kinda winged it cause i dont know these people yet but i gave a pretty fun one and my comp said it really helped him so i felt good about that. then we worked like crazy. my comp is wasted all the time and i love it. ha we contacted like crazy and tripled everyone else in the district.
remind me if i didnt tell you guys about last week and i will work on it. but just so everyone knows, i am totally doing those video journals on my camera every night. and then i write about it later as a back up if my camera gets stolen.
but this week was good. we worked a lot. and had a lot of really funny things happen.
first, my comp had about the worst day i have ever heard of in my entire life. yes we were together the whole time but every bad thing that happened hit him square in the face. first we were walking and looked down and there was a large.. fecal matter, ON TOP of his shoe!! hahaha dont ask me how but wow, it was funny. then we were contacting, and i have a new theory about contacting.
tell all missionaries this about contacting. there is no trick, there is no secret thing you can say, and here is why.
we were TRYING to contact this guy. me and my gringo comp who just got done training, and the guy looked at us like, i dont understand a word you said. we explained it like twice, what we do, who we are all that. at the end, i just said as clearly as i know how, we share a message about the family.
and he let us in. he didnt understand, didnt know what we said, but let us in. so moral of the story, if they are prepared and looking, they will let you in. now that is not to say you can just walk up and say whatever, but yeah. oh and also, make them say no to your face two times that they dont want to hear more. make sure they know who they are rejecting. =)
ok. so then after we got in that house, (we set a baptism date) we left, and after a block my comp was like, dude im cold, imma put on my sweater, and then his face went white. haha it was gone!!!! haha i of course just started laughing. cause i had told him earlier, dude, tie it onto your bag, its going to fall. which HE DID!! then he UNTIED it cause he thought it looked dumb!! hahah well we never found it. so that was awesome.
then he stained his shirt and broke his tooth brush. just really funny all of it. i loved it.
then contacting a little dog came running out when they opened the door. well it wouldnt come back to the lady, and here all dogs love me, so i called it and it ran over, well i picked it up and stood up, (it was TINY) well the head started to fall forward, so i thought, o i will toss it up a little and catch it again. haha well i missed...... the little foofy dog landed square on its back haha.
we didnt get in the house.
this week was just really funny. we had a blast. we are finding cool people and working on finding new people. the branch is really cool. all the members are super fun. way better than the ones in casilda. ha if were being honest.
well i hope this was long enough for you.
