Eating off the street

Hey Everyone,

So this week was transfers and nothing changed I am still with my companion Elder Avalos in the same area, so its pretty good. I still don't want to leave here because i like it out here and there is a lot of stuff that can happen. So I am gonna be here until April. Hopefully i make it and stay out here the whole summer, that would be sweet haha but i probably would die from the heat, they say it gets up to 125 degrees and that it's so hot, you can fry an egg on the street, jeez! that's crazy.

Anyways this past week was really busy, the most we ever taught. It was fun but way tiring, i remember on thursday we were running all over the place, we had appointments every hour it seemed like, so it was definitely a good day. Oh this past week we found someone new, his name is Chris oh wait i think i told you about him right? Well anyways we taught him like 3 times this past week it was really good, he came to church again and attended some other activities as well. He really likes it and wants to keep going with it and so hopefully everything continues to go well with him. He can talk though! but it's not useless talk, it's good talk, but never ending.

It was funny because this past Sunday we couldn't find a teacher for Gospel Principles and so we had to teach it, and man i always get nervous in teaching a group, but this wasn't that bad. We asked one question and than bam next thing you know we had to end, haha that was pretty easy. Chris and then another new member now Sergio just kept talking so it was good. Oh yeah Sergio got confirmed this past Sunday which was way sweet, hopefully he gets the priesthood soon, because then he could baptize his wife Myra. But she hasn't said anything about baptism, we still need to talk to her about it, but hopfully she will, that would be way good to see them go through the Temple and be sealed. Their family is awesome.

Shoot i can't think of what to write... Oh ok so the city i am in is called brawley but there are all these different outside towns close to here. The farthest one that some other elders cover is called Niland. it's way small and far from where we are at, it takes like an hour to get there. I was on exchanges with someone else and we went out there to visit a member, and it was sweet kus her husband is not a member and so we got to talk about the Restoration with him and he seemed really curious and interested, and he lived in that small town for his whole life and so he didn't know anything bad or rumors about any of the churches, and so it was nice because he just wanted to know the truth and there wasn't any bad rubbish blocking him from finding it out. So that was nice to see.

Just yesterday we actually didn't have anything to do, so we were trying to find some new people and we met this one guy who the missionaries used to see years ago! He was way nice. He came to us and was saying Hey Brothers! and we didnt even know him haha. Usually people are just try to avoid us. So yeah He asked us yeah you guys have the other bible, the Book of Mormon and well how come no one else has that? So i was like well, that's a good question, i think we may have an answer to that one haha. So we set up an appointment with him this Thursday and so that will go well.

So yeah, everything is going good out here. Hopefully you guys are doing good and have a good week!

LOve you all
