So yah lots of walking this week, we walk out to the little old western desert town of Totorani at least once or twice a day, people there are super nice and accepting so it's definitely worth it, everytime we get invited into a house the very first time we knock their door I'm just like "...what...?" This week was super good, we had a ton of investigators come to church and they loved it so we're super pumped.
We're teaching this guy named Herly and he'll be baptized on the 22nd, he's super smart and he loves reggae (me too) so we get along great and this week I was using reggae songs to teach him about the gospel, like why they always say Zion in Reggae songs and why we say it too in our hymns. You can use anything to teach the gospel be creative;) Gabriela is another investigator we are teaching that wants to be baptized but her mom isn't so in on the whole baptism thing so we're trying really hard to talk to her mom and just do everything we can, and have faith haha. Another lady named Marybell who lives in Totorani wants to be baptized as well but this time it's her husband that isn't totally in on it:/ Also another investigator who's been receiving the lessons foreverrrr named Sara told us that she wants to be baptized now, BUT she just has to get an OK from her mom...So our problem is literally just permission from other people, we're doing everything we can and sometimes things still don't work out haha, we just have to keep going with faith and hope haha.
Elder Letham and I are having a blast, the night of 4th of July the kids that live in our house came home with the most ghetto fireworks I've ever seen, like the big ones were literally taped to bamboo so that was an interesting experience.
We're having a blast teaching as well haha, I got a talk by John Bytheway that talks about the attitudes we should have and he basically goes through the entire book of mormon, so now when we teach we love using the book of mormon, recently I've been reading King Benjamin's chapters over and over and we've started to use them for investigators, we also now always give them a chapter from the book of mormon to read which is super cool, the Book of Mormon is so dang cool I just didn't realize it before.
But yah this week went by super fast and today for P-day we played soccer (what's new) and we made a white man team and we wreckedddd. I'm doing super well, learning a ton, having fun and working my butt off! Hope you all had a good 4th of July!!! Enjoy the heat! (I'm freezing!) Really sorry there's no pictures I have some but these dang 1940s computers aren't reading our pictures right now so next week I promise a ton!! Sorry! Bye! Love you all!!
