1 Year Mark!

Burning shirt for 1 Year Mark!

Hey family and friends how’s it going!

Well another week has gone by how about that!  It was a good week. It was a tough one but we stuck it out. We did A lot of contacts and walking this week. It was just one of those weeks.  On Tuesday we had district class which was great like always. The Zone Leaders shared with us all of the things they learned at their

Zone Leader council, so it was really uplifting. We left with a lot more energy.  Wednesday and Thursday we spent like usual. We had a lot of appointments that fell so we had to go to doing contacts and looking

for people to teach. I know Heavenly Father wants me to learn something from this week, and I think I know what it is. So I am Grateful for that.

 On Wednesday we were contacting a street and we did the ahh loow at the door and a guy came out. But it wasn’t no ordinary guy, he came out in some really tight red soccer shorts that I would have used when I

was 6 and he was holding a little puppy drying it with a towel. but he was a big guy like 6 ft 4 and bigger! haha It was pretty funny I got a little laugh. But he let us in and we taught him the Restoration.

 On Friday we did weekly planning like usual and after we went to lunch. We were supposed to do a mini combio so Elder Bustamante put his clothes and his books in my back pack that I had laying around and

we left to start working because they were a little behind. So we ended up doing contacts for about an hour and a half waiting for them to call us to tell us to go to the terminal to transfer. But they finally called us at 6 and said well do it another day! haha So Elder Bustamante got a good workout with the big back pack.

 And Thursday was when I completed a year. So we went to a meeting that we usually have at the church. But the people that come to it were making completos for young womens. So the meeting was cancelled,

but Richard was there for young mens and he said  ¨hey! I'll buy completos!¨haha So we took a bus to a little completo stand and we ate some completos. And then after we bought some watermelons at a little

stand right next to it. And Elder Bustamante loves watermelons. So we chose the biggest one of the group of watermelons that was the least expensive.  The watermelon was shaped funny, more like a pumpkin then a

round watermelon. So me and Richard gave him a hard time that it was going to be a bad one. But then he cut it open at home and it was alright it was pretty funny.

Saturday we left to work with a member named Christian. He is 21 and is preparing to serve a mission. We finally found some people on Saturday! We found one guy who let us n and who was real nice, then we

knocked a couple more houses and a lady let us in. who had talked to missionaries before but moved to our sector and lost contact. So that was a great blessing! After a long week of getting nothing we found

some great investigators!

 And for P Day we went to Constitucion! To the beach with a couple other Elders! It was fun. We tossed the football around for a bit, then we walked around the bend to this big sand dune, and we climbed it and

did some rolls and flips down, it was pretty fun. Then we went back to the beach and ate some completos and played a football game, and burned our feet because the sand was black sand! But it was great we

had a great time!

  But that was our week! It was great we are really looking forward to this week! I love you guys and thanks for writing me and praying for us! It makes a big difference!

 les quiero mucho,
