We made it through New Years Eve alive! I thought Christmas was bad but New Years was straight up Armageddon. At midnight bombs were going off, shaking our house. People were burning dummy's filled with fireworks and there were just a ton of fireworks everywhere. People were driving four-wheeler's and cars through the streets. Music was blasting until the early morning. New years day however, was silent. Everyone partied too hard i guess and no one was working or even out side. It was kind of funny.
We had a pretty fun activity on New years at the church! We played American football! I also got on the roof to retrieve a volleyball. It was super fun!
We got some new investigators this week. One really nice catholic lady that seems pretty interested in our doctrine. The other was a guy who was a little intellectually challenged. He invited us in and we taught him. The second time we taught him we weren't sure how much he was understanding us but still made our way the the baptismal challenge. After we invited him to be baptized we heard a banshee or something like that in the other room SCREAMING that he was already baptized. Oh.. okay then..wellp, gotta go!.. sorry mam! We tried to bring him to church but he lost interest.

Nothing too exciting this week!
Oh,
this week I have seen FOUR Adventure Motorcyclists going down the road.
These guys are living the life! They ride through Latin America on
their awesome BMW, triumph, or other awesome motorcycles. Totally doing
that at some point in my life! I miss motorcycles so so so so so so so so much.
Spiritual thought of the week is the importance of gospel study! First, I´ll
admit, I didn't read scriptures until like two months before my mission.
So please don't think I am a hypocrite! But I learned in Sunday school
this week that there is no way to fortify your testimony without
frequently reading something from the Book of Mormon. I also highly suggest the ensigns as well. We have some great Apostles and Prophet!
Also, pray before studying to feel the spirit, to let it testify to you if these things are true!
Have a great week everybody! Elder (Dallin) Poulson
