week 100: Every Day When You're Walkin' Down The Street

I just realized that a lot of my emails start with "SO" or "WELL" so....

SO, WELL ANYWAY, this has been a pretty good week! We met our new mission President and he's great. He was actually pretty funny and sarcastic and knows the scriptures SUPER WELL. Like it was crazy, and his spanish is actually pretty good! In our Zone Conference this week we kind of just got to know him, and his kids made short little 5 minute videos talking about him and his wife, it was cool. He also got engaged to his wife 8 days after his mission, when she was already engaged to another mission. He actually proposed by taking off the other missionary's right, and then placing it back on her hand, asking her if Gary, the other missionary, would be ok if he used the ring. Savage.

On Saturday morning we invited some of the Elders from the zone to come to our area to cut some grass (with Machetes) in the house of some of our investigators. In total we were  8, and my companion and I made chocolate chip pancakes with bacon for breakfast for all of us. It was a good way to start the day!

Also on Saturday Afternoon there was a primary activity and my companion and I were in charge of the games and we rocked it, (cops and robbers, sharks and minnows, tag, hide and seek, etc. It was actually super fun.

After the activity, we were heading towards our dinner appointment and had two options. Take the main road or take a back way, the main road lately has had a TON of construction. Due to all the construction, we decided to take the back road and avoid the cars, dirt and dust everywhere. A few blocks into our way, a woman friendly yelled hello! at us. We immediately turned around so we could go talk to here. We began talking and she immediately invited us into her home! SHE INVITED US! She is very kind and her husband too! I hope good things will come from them! SO we'll see. Their names are Ely and Rolando. They are an older couple, and they invited US I still can't believe it.

Anyway hope you all had a great 4th of July, Tia Angenette sent me a sweet 4th of July package so I was able to celebrate in style. So see you all soon.
