Tuesday to Wednesday we went on a Blitz! our mission doesn't do Exchanges with the zone leaders anymore its only a blitz so me and Elder Neves went to their area and their house for two days! Well it started off awesome because we had a dinner at and investigators house (Who is basically a member, just needs some legal documents so she can be married) It was so good!!! We had ribs, mexican rice and MAC AND CHEESE! lol still love mac and cheese! Anyways it was around 4 so I figured eh, what the heck, I'll pack myself to the brim so I don't have to eat dinner tonight! Well, I did just that, I ate four plates of food and enjoyed every bite of it! She (guille) loves me now! The Latinos love elders who can put it down here. well, I had forgotten that we had another dinner following that.. oops! Luckily we were on bikes and we took the long way there so I could work up an appetite! On our way over, Me and Elder Reina noticed as we went down this hill that the entrances from the road to the sidewalk made nice jumps! And I've developed a good bunny hop out here as well so I was catching some good air! this comes into play later in the email.. We ate again and i can say I've never been so full in my life! haha good stuff though, never mad and being blessed with food! Coming back from that appointment Elder Reina about ate it because his front brake went out and he forgot there are back breaks. A quick lesson resolved that! Heres a pic of us on the blitz!
Wednesday night after me and Elder Neves were reunited into our own area, on the way home I wanted to show Elder Neves my new acquired talent of bunny hoppin the sidewalk entrances! Well, be humble my friends! Cause I met the concrete monster this week! haha I hopped a little too late on one of the entrances and my brain farted mid air or something cause my front wheel ended up facing sideways when it was time to land! Hah I aimed for the grass but my lower have didn't quite make it! Tore up my brand new week old shoes I just got and my new pants! The pants were only 6 bucks though!
Anyways the next day I was riding saddle side on my bike while we were tracking. I came to a stop and forgot it wasn't a four-wheeler I guess and tipped right off the wrong side of the bike. What is so sad about this one was how slow it happened.. Its been rough!:') haha jk
But, believe it or not things got better! Conference was great as usual! I cant say i have ever LOVED conference growing up! I can say now that if you go in as you do with your scripture study with a humble heart and an open mind to everything you will be blessed with personal revelation and the spirit the whole time. The MTC is indeed a spiritual high the whole time and conference made me re- live that. There is no way I can just pick one thing to share out of conference! They talked a bit on families. I loved how Uchdorf said that there is no such thing as a perfect family. They all have their issues and their problems. Then M. Russel Ballard gave a talk on family meetings. I can't remember right now what he called it exactly but I think that those two talks put together and applied into life are the key to family happiness!
Elder Holland hit it out of the park again, as we all knew he would! That is a talk that I highly recommend to all of you to print and study! He is a mastermind with words and always says just what we need to here in these latter days! My personal testimony grew a ton these last few days and i hope all of yours did too!
After conference we got to teach a new investigator that we have named Santana. I think i touched on him last week but man i think he is awesome! We met with him and kind of his wife this week! She was busy cleaning around us but she still listened. Santana was filled with questions and it made the lesson so awesome. We helped him understand a ton of what the gospel of jesus christ is and how it was restored to earth today. He does want to be baptized really bad he just wants to make sure that he will live worthily afterwards and not go back to bad habits. So he hasn't said yes to a date yet but we will further teach and help him this Wednesday!
Heres a pic of me in President Cutlers desk at the mission office that he hasn't ever used.
This week was great! Sorry i wrote so much! Have a wonderful week everyone!
