I thought it was pretty cool that his Spanish is coming along better and that he even gave a talk in the Spanish branch.
Okay this week has been really long since we had to stretch out the whole pday thing so I don't remember much from the beginning of last week but I'll try my best.
Monday we had a ward noche do hogar or family home evening, where there was a lot of food and a really good spiritual thought shared by our second counselor. After all of the spiritual stuff was done we played soccer with the youth where my team was brutally murdered. And I was absolutely no help so there's that too.
Tuesday I had my first really good lesson where my Spanish was super understandable and the teaching flow was pretty good. So I was pretty hyped the rest of the day and then we also taught a less active and got them really hyped to coming back to church and getting their kids back on the right path. I know that the lord has really blessed me with learning the Spanish and that with my work and faith in him I can nail down this language.
Wednesday we had a meeting in the morning so they could put in a new driving safety box where we got absolutely rebuked for driving terribly and everything, especially my companion, since he gets quite a bit of aggressive drivings. We also had another lesson with Shellie where I had the best meal I have had on my mission yet, it was so good that I completely neglected to take a picture of it. Plus we got an invite for Thanksgiving from them.
Thursday we went out home teaching with a member and was unable to see a single member so the member just made fun of the fact that I couldn't roll my rs the entire time.
Friday not much happened.
Saturday not much happened
Sunday I gave a talk in church about Thanksgiving giving that seemed to go alright. Everyone was smiling and such so that's good I guess. Everything else went well and then we saw two less Actives, got a Thanksgiving invite from one of them. Plus Shellie didn't come to church since she was bailing someone out of jail.
Monday was zone conference which was all about being yourself and talking about all the pilot programs that we are starting. There are changes coming to preach my gospel, the white handbook, and the mission presidents handbook. So that zone conference was really good. We saw Shellie again, really committed her to coming to church this time.
Tuesday we helped out this sweet old lady that is super deaf. We organized a bunch of her pinata making stuff and fixed her door. Then later in the day she fed us some super good dinner.
Today I have started driving since my companions license expired today. We did our district light the world video, and now we are playing basketball.
That is all love you guys.
