Step up the Witty-ness

September 16, 2008
Life is SWEET!!! Me and my new companion are having a blast! mostly we are trying to look for new investigators now. We taught a bunch of lessons last week but last night we kinda determined that though they all had testimonies, they were not progressing and have no intention of progressing... sooo it looks like we are going back to square one!

Sunday we had those crazy wind storms "don’t know if it made the news" but 74 mph winds... Messed up the trees pretty bad, not gonna lie. soo yesterday (Monday) we road our bikes around helping people clean up their trees and stuff! It was kinda fun and something different. Sunday it was too windy and there were tornado warnings so we had to stay in our house from about 3pm until the next morning... It was pretty boring especially because we had now power and could not really cook anything.

We have a sweet house now. It’s a row home and we have the bottom floor. The area here is cool. It is actually lower income than downtown. There are lots of people standing around in the middle of the day, but most of them like us! Funny thing, I don't understand why people think they are being super witty and creative to yell things at us when they drive by? Seriously, it’s always the silliest people and they always say the least creative things... It’s like come on guys! Step up the witty-ness... Jeeze! My companion and I get a good laugh out of how lame the things they say are! But, I have yet to have anything thrown at me... That will probably be slightly less funny "or funnier depending on the object being thrown".

But anyways this area is cool, tons of Hispanics so that is sweet because we have lots of people to talk to. There is a park right by our house where lots of Guatemalans go play basketball... We rode by there on Friday and asked if we could play... HAHAHAHA I am the Lebron James of Guatemalan basketball. WOW! watching them play is really fun. We asked if we could play and the guy immediately kicked 2 of his friends off his team, because the winner stays and he knew we would win because if you have someone over the height of 5'3'' you have a "Big Man". We played 25% effort for a couple games and left and contacted all the people around the court. It was sweet, and they all wanted to talk to us after that, so that was good, fun, effective contacting! So basically everything is going awesome for me! Loving sharing the gospel with people and seeing how it impacts their lives!! I love you all!
