Out of all my weeks on my mission, this was one of them. XD
Hope everything up there is pretty chilly, because it's pretty chili down here. ;) (I'm feeling pretty punny/ movie quotes today, so keep your hands at the level of your eyes in order to see them. :)
This week was pretty good! We found 2 new investigators this week (we found them by teaching at the jail- they've been released and want to learn more!), and we put them on date for November 4th! They're not going to make it, because they have to be living the commandments for at least 2 weeks before their baptism, and they would have to have started living the commandments on Saturday... Which is hard to do when you're living together but not married... If they get married while I'm here, the title of my email may or may not be something from the Princess Bride, so you have to have both eyes open, just in case you miss it. ;) (in order to be baptized on the 4th, they would've had to be married last Saturday... 3 days after we started teaching them.)
Brother Nielson, the member of our branch presidency that was in a motorcycle accident 2 months ago, came to church yesterday! Since the accident, he was told that he wasn't going to survive, then it changed to he'll have to be in the hospital for at least 2 months, to getting released from the hospital after 37 days and back at church after 2 months of the accident, he's a walking miracle! He does have 6 titanium plates and 33 screws in his face, but he's walking with a cane and is doing fantastic!
Paul, the less active brother from the To'hajiilee branch, came to church yesterday, and he came with 8 of his less active grandchildren who were between the ages of 13-25! In that branch, we had 17 people on the branch directory there- 11 of which were related to Paul- and that's a lot for our branch! I've been to church where there were literally 2 of our branch there- outside of us and the branch presidency and their wives. Progress!!!
We went on exchanges with Elders Furlong and Kropf on Tuesday, and then with Elders Robinson and Nelson on Saturday, it was a lot of fun! I still don't speak Spanish, but that's alright. It was a lot of fun to be able to act like I understood it. ;)
Transfers is next week, I'm probably going to be transferred, especially after 36 weeks in one area, but I'll find out for sure on Saturday! "Stay tuned for scenes from [my next email]."
Te whanaunga mo ake tonu!
