First off I'll start off by apologizing for last weeks email! I was in a big rush and it was kind of everywhere!
Anyways! This week was one of the longest weeks of my life! But the FASTEST weeks ever! haha I don't know if that makes any sense but to start things off, after I logged off we went to p day sports. And it was sunny and 45 outside (Great Weather) so we all decided to go down to a park and play ultimate! I've got the forehand bomb down, I thank last years disc golf!;) But that was the funnest pday so far!
Now, Wednesday.. Wednesday we knew it was going to rain and "Sprinkle" but it turns out, that means hail! haha riding bikes down hills in hail is one of the worst things ever! Kinda feels like someone's got an airsoft gun pointed at our face with a tight grip on the trigger! haha our faces were so red, luckily my freckles helped blend it all in! But we did service! Helped prime a member in our branch's house! It was fun but i got paint on my shoes.. GROW UP! Haha its all good though.
Thursday we were in a lesson later that day and we came out with a good 2 or 3 inches of snow! I LOVE WISCONSIN! That made things pretty fun!
We still did morning sports the next day though!!
Friday was pretty regular, got some PHO with brother Sanchez, that's always AWESOME!
SATURDAY WOOT! Saturday was the most I've ever worked in a day! Typically we teach 3-7 other lessons on a given day of the week! But Saturday morning elder Neves asked me what we had for the day. All I saw was a lot of tracting! I said jokingly "We'll probably teach like 30 other lessons". Half way through the day we realized that was a realistic goal! So we did, we taught 30 lessons! Number 30 being kind of a cool one! We were on the bus riding home and I had to teach one more person about the restoration to meet our goal! The man who walked on scared the living turd out of me. Probably 6'8" 350lb black man with a big ole beard walked on. Well, I was holding the pamphlet in my hand and knew I should teach him about it so I mustered up some courage and turned to him and to my surprise I saw the biggest grin coming out of his beard as he reached forth his had for my pamphlet! His name was James and he was like the happiest jolliest person I've ever met in my life!! haha He is so cool!
Alejandro is still doing awesome, I really hope that he will become a member of our church. I think he'd be a great example of a good priesthood holder in our branch.
I know that a lot more stuff happened this week but there is no way I can fit it all in a email! But the spiritual thought comes from Easter! Study the entire atonement of Christ! Elder Neves assigned me to give a training on it for this next district meeting and it was a lot of fun to study it and learn more and more!
My Birthday is on the 14th of April but I'm probably being transferred on the 13th! Just so you all know for letters and stuff my address might change!
Love you all so much! Have a great week!

More stuff...
So I told ya I would forget something! But this week we taught Jesus, (hey-sus) and it was pretty cool! He told us as we were inviting him to act on what we were teaching him that he doesn't feel worthy enough to be friends with us. He said that all we do is care about other people and helping them. He said "you are like angels. I'm SERIOUS!" haha he's a super awesome man. But then we told him that he needs to give himself more credit for what he does! He helps congregations of people enjoy coming to church and coming closer to their beliefs! The lesson went really well!
Yesterday as we were leaving the Rivera's (Member family) A guy walked past their house as we were walking around to grab our bikes and go to a lesson. As we got out of their yard he turned around and said to us "Okay, I just walked past you guys and it was like you were glowing with light. I felt impressed that I needed to come talk with you and ask you for a prayer. I feel like doing something really bad right now because my family needs some help so if yall could help me with a prayer, that'd be great. I don't want to do this" So we prayed and then assured him that if he did what was right in the eyes of God that he would receive the blessings he needs! PRETTY COOL!
