Week 42

Hey everybody. Whats going on? It was a great week here in cuidad españa. Time is kinda flying by, and i dont know how i feel about it jaja. I mean this week was kinda tough but, were fine. We both got sick. I got food poising for a day or so haha and my comp has a killer cold and paraistos. and he got super disanimated. and told me that he wants to go home. So im just ignoring his negative vibes, and trying to send off only good. But yeah.


So I think i told yall about Paola last week, shes cool. And she doesnt know about Jesus.But she wants to know more. But theres a problem. She has a 17 year old boyf who she breaks up with and then gets back together with and when shes not with him. she is getting with other dudes. And she told us that she has a problem with smoking pot. and cigs. and she likes to drink. haha its fine, we just have to teach her a lot. but we tried setting a goal so that she could stop smoking for 2 days and we´d come back to see how it went. and when we came back she avoided us. so she obvioudly didnt do it. but we had a nice chat with lester (her man) and he seemed kinda interested. so were probably gonna baptize him, joking. but well see where it goes.


We went back to visit Lady. Shes doing well, hasnt read the folleto. But, she is listening to us. And as well as her mom, they say that they want to know more about the scriptures. the bible and the Book of mormon. But, they dont read them, so its kinda confusing. But, Well see, she didnt go to church cause she works. She sells sand that gets washed into the street after rain storms. quality gal, just has to learn to enjoy the dia de reposo.


We also are teaching a kid (14 years old) named richard. Hes interested in the church, was a refrence of some members, but he doesnt want to go to church. As we were walking to chruch we saw him bringing some masa back to his house to make tortillas, and he says to us, "oh if i have time ill get to the chruch today." but he didnt. My comp got super mad and said to me , "everyone acts like making tortillas is the most important thing on earth." but its true, is tortillas or your salvacion more importanta. Everyone here says, "Ill try to go to chruch, i mean, God First, Right? but, only if God wants, ill get there" Obvi God wants you in church. jaja


Well, that was about it. Love yall.
