Paint Fight!!!



Results after a paint fight.  Jackson definitely got the worst of it like he says in his e-mail.


Pasoli dinner at a member's home

Highlights of the week:

Our first Skype lesson was on Tuesday. We were able to get one of our investigators to open up a lot more through a screen so that was awesome.  We can really help her out now. We saw a less active husband of a member family on Wednesday and that was awesome, big miracle that he was super open with us and receptive to our message because he apparently wasn't like that before. 
Me and Elder Gerardo and Peitau had a paint war at a service painting thing. I got teamed up on and got got. Spanish is ok. I feel as if I can talk and get my point across and be understood but I just cannot understand most people's Spanish at all. I ate lunch with Máximo the Honduran and had the worst thing I will ever eat on my mission with him, some type of like pure fat to the point of it almost being whale blubber.  But I ate some awesome food with the 2nd counselor and an investigator after we taught a lesson with them. One of our strongest members of the branch is moving to Utah though so that's a bummer.  We'll be losing a Young Men's president and a Relief Society president. So our branch will be weakened a bunch by that. Hopefully we can baptize a lot before they move. 
Yesterday was the primary program and if you ever feel as if your program will be bad or is bad just go to a Spanish branch and see theirs, you'll feel a lot better about it. But it was still the cutest thing ever and was really entertaining. We also had dinner with a less active family and had the biggest dinner I will ever eat. Pasoli in a salad bowl. It was ridiculous. But I ate it because it was so good. Then me and Elder Hill taught the parents in Spanish while Elder Gerardo went off with the kids, and the lesson went really well. Elder Gerardo usually takes control of lessons so it was pretty exhilarating to teach a lesson by ourselves this time. Transfers are in 2 weeks, every 6-7 weeks. We also didn't get any investigators to church this week either even though we commited about 12 again so that blows. 

That's all for now. I love you all have fun and be strong.
