Week 90- October 27

 This week has been a pretty good week like usual. There is never anything to complain about. We still really don't have anyone to teach which is disappointing but we are keeping our heads up working hard and trusting in the Lord. The tracting has been going pretty well. Nothing really is happening from it though. We have tracted 243 doors so far. It really has been a lot of fun though. We have had a lot of funny experiences with people that we have met. We had a guy on Saturday that tried to bash with us but he was really bad at it. It was amusing to sit there and listen to what he had to say. I was laughing inside the whole time because I knew what he was trying to do. Tracted really is not effective at all and I am coming to know why more and more each day. But it is really all we can do. Hopefully something exciting will happen. 

     Friday night I was on exchanges in the Spanish area. That is always an adventure. It is really a whole different world I can't believe it. I really had no idea what to do. The food in the spanish work is really weird. I am not a fan of it, but I still ate it. It was a little frustrating because I couldn't talk to most of the people. I have been slowly learning spanish so I know a little, not very much tho. 

     This week we were able to talk to 108 people out on the streets. I am pretty sure that is a record for this area. We were out talking to everyone we came in contact with. I really enjoy talking with people, it is really cool to hear their life stories and how things in their life apply to the gospel. It is always a little bit frustrating to hear them say no but I understand agency and it doesnt bother me. We met one guy that helped me strengthen my testimony. We met him while we were out talking to people on the street. As we talked he told us that he was Christian and then he proceeded to tell us how close our religions line up but one thing that we don't agree on is the Trinity. He said that the trinity is hard to believe and even christians don't understand it. That really stuck out to me because from what I understand God isn't a God of confusion. Sometimes I don't get how people can be so oblivious to things. It is so great to get to have 2 hours every morning to study. I have come to love that time. I don't want to stop when I get started. I have learned so much as I have studied and read the scriptures. There is so much cool stuff to learn about. Over the course of my mission I have gotten a lot of study materials. You are going be shocked when you see it. 

     Sounds like there is a lot going on back home, that is always exciting. That is really cool that Grandma and Grandpa are staying, and that is really cool that they got a new truck and a great one at that. That is really awesome that they are all going to be blessing the sacrament. That is going to be an awesome experience. That is awesome that you got to bear your testimony. That sounds like a really cool sacrament meeting. That hymn is one that you really can never sing enough. 

     So next week is transfers so we will find out Saturday night what is going to be happening next transfer. Everything is up in the air so I have no predictions on what happens. 

     Thank you so much for everything!

   I Love You!
