Bulls and Parties!

We survived the bulls and the parties! Some the parties stayed up till 5 o'clock in the morning. Where we live right outside of one of them, they were so loud they woke us up in the middle of the night. And the bull runs were are right outside of our Piso. But the bull runs and the parties are over now which makes me a little bit happy. We will be able to contact people on the street more and not worry so much of being caught in big groups. And we will also be able to meet with more people in their houses and have more lessons. 

Funny story of the week. We were at an investigators house and he was playing Michael Jackson for us. It was Thriller to be exact and I want to dance to it. The person's name is Jose and he is the funniest guy I've ever met here. It was dancing around doing the thriller walk and being a very fine zombie. He was clawing at me and making the sounds of Michael Jackson. Then I started dancing I did the Thriller walk. But I went a little too far ahead. I slid to the right and I came up and clap my hands. Between my hands I heard a crack. I broke his lamp, I broke his chandelier. That is the end of that story.

We don't have many progressive investigators, but we met this family that had the missionaries before. We talked and were able to set up a time to meet this week. They seem to be the perfect family and I'm very excited to teach them. I pray that we can be able to have the spirit with us when we meet. That reminds me prayer is the best thing to gain faith. You can literally ask for anything. Ask to receive insight in a problem you have, to have strength within your families, or simply to have a good day. But I find the better part is the opportunity to say thank you.  Some of you might be thinking, why is that the better part. It's a chance to reflect on who we and what we are. Thanking someone shows that you recognize their work within your life and you appreciate their help. And I am thankful for all that I have. My family, friends, mission, I can give a never ending of things I'm grateful for. I know that they all come from our father in heaven. 



A meeting of area in Pavones.

I know that we are children of God. That he knows us personally and wants us to live with eternal happiness. I know that we all receive answers to our prayers. I also know that answers may come now, later, or even into the next life. I can give a personal witness that prayer is a great blessing that God has given us. That through prayer will be strengthened to endure hardships and trials. And that prayer is used both in good time and bad time. I know these things to be true without a doubt in my body. 

New pants, and tie.

Con mucho amor,
