When It Rains, It Pours!

Well hey there!

This week was a pretty crazy one, and a pretty good one. 

We got a rainstorm finally! It felt so good to just walk in pouring rain after an eternal summer. Last year i bought some plastic shoes and they are pretty awesome in the rain and I just stick a giant plastic sack over my bag so my books and stuff dont get wet.

Our street

This week we met some super intersting people, we went to go visit this guy names eduardo who had a huge fancy house! He gave us some sparkling water to drink... it was super weird.

He has traveled all over the world and fought in some war in africa 50 years ago and speaks a bunch of different languages. He showed us a cool african click language. A few years ago a member of the church had given him a book of mormon on a flight on the other side of the world or something and well he didnt want to change but said he would like to stop by at the church some day.

On friday, We were walking down the street and saw a guy coming our way and decided to contact him, the second he opened his mouth we could tell he was super drunk. He started talking to us in english and saying weird things haha but he showed us his house and we decided on visiting him the next day. We visited him the next day, saturday, and he was still a little under the influence but told us how bad he wanted to stop drinking and about some other difficulties in his life. He was super glad we came to visit him, and on Sunday, he came to church!!! It was super funny because when a person comes to church for the first time, we tell the bishopbric their name and they welcome them over the pulpit, and when they said "wed like to welcome gerardo to church, hope you feel at home" he stood up and waved to everyone and said Gracias! Gracias!!!! 

In the other email I attached a picture with a family! We ate with them yesterday. They are super awesome members and Mayra, comes with us a lot to visit people. She definitely has the pure love of Christ! She has a little old white VW bug so we go chuggin around town and its pretty fun, plus we can get to the houses super fast.

More and more members are coming to our ward which is good!!! We our focusing a lot on working with the members together! Having support sistems, where a member goes to visit the person we are teaching and reads a little bit of the book of mormon with them once or twice a week, and takes them to church. Sometimes its hard to get people to commit but we are trying.

I love being a missionary and I love this gospel. Being a representative of Jesus Christ is something very special and I can feel every single prayer that is coming my way. I have too many blessings, and I have a wonderful family. I pray for you all and I love you all.

Hope you have a wonderful week!
