Well we are at transfers once again! Nothing is happening though. I'm
going to stay here another transfer with Elder Greene. It's going to
be lots of fun!
I did exchanges with Elder Aguila this week. He is from Guadalajara
Mexico, so he is learning English. It was lots of fun, he is really
funny. It also turned out that all of the people we talked to that day
spoke Spanish so it was super helpful to have him there because he can
speak Spanish a lot better than us white people can.
But yeah I had some weird stuff happen this week. Elder Aguila and I
were eating at this BBQ place before we exchanged back and this lady
there was asking about what we do and stuff. Then while we were eating
she left us a note that said she wanted us to pray for her. Then
before we left she came and talked to us again and we asked if we
could have her number so could help her out more. Well when she went
to write the number down her tooth fell out and bounced off the table
onto the floor. So that was pretty strange. And then the very next day
we were eating lunch with the High Priest Group Leader and he picked
up this white thing from his plate and asked if we knew what it was.
We told him we didn't know, and then he asked if he was missing a
tooth. And sure enough his tooth had fallen out. So he stared at his
tooth for a few seconds and just looked super confused and then he
said 'well ya win some ya lose some, I'll super glue that back later'
then stuck it in his pocket. I have never had that happen before...
We have been having success though! We met this lady named Yolanda and
she let us right inside. As soon as we got in the rest of the family
scattered but we got to talk to Yolanda. She went off for like 10
minutes about how she doesn't believe in churches because she thinks
that you can talk to God wherever. Totally true. And then she went on
for another 10 minutes about how families are falling apart and all
that. So finally when we got a word in we told her how the church is
their to help families become closer, that is part of the reason we
have church. Then her daughter walked in and so Yolanda told her
everything that we just finished explaining to her then asked if she
wanted to go to church with her. So that was sweet. Unfortunately they
didn't show up but that's alright. There is always this week!
I'm excited for another transfer here! There is lots of people who
need the Gospel!
Love y'all!

Some nice BBQ, Elder Aguila and I (good thing my eyes were closed, oops)
