FEB 27

Dear reader,

 

Not to much new this week,  Me and Elder Waldron were once again blessed to have investigators at sacrement... 13 to be exact.  We are going for 4 baptisms this week if everything works out.  First being Anderson he is 19 years old and went to church and seemed to enjoy it.  We will be teaching him a lot this week.  His little sister Jessica, she has been to church about 5 times and enjoys it.  Rita,  she´s 13 and also Beatriz (10 years) .  Wish us luck! 

 

We have also been finding some really good families it seems.  I really want to baptize a family but it´s really difficult to find a family that is ready.  No doubt we are looking but for a family to be ready it takes a lot of prep time.  There was an activity saturday that our bishop held where the adults of the ward went out and made contacts.  I think we are recieving like 25 references this week because of that.  Some good families should emerge.

 

Oh yeah.  Funnnny story this week.  So I was on divisions this week with another Elder in my area, ( Elder Waldron was in the other elders area) .  Me and this Elder were just about to teach this lesson to some kids outside when one of our investigators starts walking towards us.  He was walking home from school (he is about 16) .  Let´s call him bob.  So bob comes up and I start talking to him, seeing how school was, etc.   Apparently bob is "marked".  ( I had no clue )   Marked means people are trying to kill him.  SO we hear a gunshot, the everyone just starts running,  and I heard 3 other shots I think as we were all running hahaha.  So what apparently happened was like 20 ft away from me some gangsters got in like a fight or something and one of em pulled out a gun shot it in the air first to clear the way I think, then tried to shoot the gangster, missed, hit his little brother in the shoulder, then tried to shoot our investigator bob, but he already ran off.  And yeah so it was pretty crazy.  Needless to say i´m still alive and well haha.

 

And that is my story, everything is fine guess I just need to start asking people if they are "marked" haha. It´s not as bad as it sounds but it is haha?  anyway I love you all

Have an EXCELLENT week!

He lives!
