29 de Octubre

Today I went back to the computer cafe because I forgot this typing thing there. When the owner saw that no one had taken it after a whole day and night his jaw dropped to the floor! You would think that in a third world country if they saw a laptop looking thing they would take it. Well anyway, we went to visit Alejandro and he wasn't home so we went to a service opportunity. That was fun, we just washed her dishes. We then went to the offices and here we got 6 packages for the zone, one of which was my shirts. I didn't realize how worn out my shirts were and also at how broken they are! But when I saw those shirts... it was a loose shirt of most exquisite whiteness. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen, nor do I believe that any earthly thing could be made to appear so exceedingly white and brilliant. I took it out of the box and by the flick of my wrists I twirled it around my shoulders as it smoothly descended upon my back. It was a perfect fit. We went to the districts and gave out those materials and the other packages. Then I started an interchange. I’m with Elder Robinson, he’s a good missionary. We went contacting because all of the plans fell through. We started walking and wandering a little. We got to this dark street with not a ton of people on it and 5 guys walked past us, we kept going and I looked behind me and they had turned around and started following us...  Because it’s dangerous here, and even more so when it’s two gringos at 9:15 at night, I told Elder Robinson “hey put your watch in your sock and walk fast and with purpose.” Well I think I had Mr. Frank beat! I speed walked so fast and we zoomed out of there! We left and he told me that area was the most dangerous part of his area. Why he did not tell me before, I know not. But it was a good day today. I love you all so very much, good night.

Well it's almost Halloween, and I have so many treats. There have been birthday parties and ward parties so today overall was a good day. We had a missionary dinner, which were us with the ward missionaries and a free dinner. It was so great!

Well happy Halloween! No one here celebrates this holiday, but in my heart I know it's a spooky season. To celebrate my companion and I went to the hueco or in English the hole! That’s the most dangerous part of the mission. Like my dad always said, if you are going to do something stupid, be smart about it! So we went to a member’s house put our bags, watches, rings, etc... In her home then went to our appointment. Yeah let’s just say we will not be going back to the hole... we taught this pastor. It was great, we taught him lesson one. It was amazing!! He got stumped many times. I love this gospel and I love you with all of my heart! Good night

Happy birthday Ronny! Today was a weird day, did not feel normal. We had an awesome visit with a family today in the morning who accepted a baptism invite so that was great. Then at night we knocked on a door and we taught another family and the dad is a member but has not gone to church for about 20 years! His wife and kids are not members. At the end of the lesson we asked him to say the last prayer, he did a good job and at the end of the prayer he was crying a lot. We all could feel the spirit and it was so strong. We then ended the night with a family home evening, we watched chapter 18 of the Book of Mormon and it was really good. I love you good night!
