OK, Not the most eventful week ever!
We are kinda outta area for finding Hispanics and since I am on a Spanish speaking mission, we are looking for people who speak spanish... So now we are going through middle class neighborhoods looking for houses that could possibly be Hispanics...(double pronged satellites, cars that have fake air intake "upgrades" that you buy at Wal-Mart, Virgin Guadalupe’s, anything that looks Hispanic) it has not been wildly successful or fun but you gotta do what you gotta do!
BUT we also found a couple new families this week who are really interested in learning more about the gospel and so that is good! Also, Mario the recent convert told us that this Wednesday his family is ready to talk to us, so we are planning on having a lesson with him, his wife, and their 6 kids! Pretty good stuff! New Years was not the most thrilling day of the year... It mostly just meant that everyone was hung over the morning after so no one answered the door the next day! haha But we also had some funny things happen this week!
So... before I tell you this story I need to describe someone... So there is a guy in our Branch named Pascual Diaz... He is Guatemalan, and does not really speak Spanish. He speaks more of a Dialect called Mum and basically no one speaks it except for in some VERY Rural areas of Guatemala. He is like 65 or 70 and EVERY single fast Sunday he gets up and says something slightly odd (wearing HUGE cowboy boots complete with Spurs). He ALWAYS talks about how he was in the Army, and how he was a Bishop in Guatamala. BUT anyways, this week for fast Sunday, during testimony meeting, he said how happy he is to be Pascual Diaz... Then he said how lucky his grandchildren are to have come from him.... Then he talked about how he hopes that one day EVERYONE can be a Diaz! hahah his ending quote was "For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Pascual Diaz, and if I leave, Pascual Diaz will not be here anymore, but you will have known Pascual Diaz..." hahaha The entire congregation was trying to keep from laughing! I was biting my tongue so hard. But I learned a valuable lesson, do not sit right in the center front rows on Fast Sunday when Pascual Diaz is in the house! haha
So, Overall things here are going GREAT Working hard, feeling The Spirit, and Having Fun! What more could you ask for! I love missionary work! Not anywhere in the world where I would rather be!
Love you all,
