What is up everyone? Elder Monson is doing good. My comp and I contacted 34 new people this week and invited 7 people to be baptized. We also got 4 people to say they were coming to church. And then we went to pick them up Sunday morning. And they were all gone. So that's how we were robbed. It went from 4 to 0. Which was embarrassing because I was talking my comp and I up to our district leader and everyone the whole week and then nobody showed up so that was just great. I didn't actually get robbed. I think all the potential robbers are scared of me down here. I've been working out in the mornings and like I know they're looking and kinda scared. If I saw a white guy with my newly acclaimed muscle and shirt and tie on. I'd think he was an agent from America and I wouldn't be testing him you know. So that's how I think they feel. A little timid to test me. As they should be. But yeah good week. Taught so many people and I'm picking up a little more on what they're saying. Slowly but surely. We went on divisions this week. Which is where we are with a different companion for 24 hours. Of course they put me the new guy with the Latino in our district. The only person who doesn't speak English in our district. Not that I hate the kid but. I was nervous about communicating. However, it was awesome. I loved it. We had to use translator a few times bit like I felt so good because we were kind of communicating and I was doing good! And then him and my companion talked and he told my companion that my spanish is not good. And needs a lot of work. So I was humbled immediately after which was awesome. Anyways. We crossed a river on my division and there was no bridge. Just a bunch of plywood. And it was so scary. I thought I was going to die. The plywood like sunk down every step and man it was unreal. There's a lot of weird people here. So many that are drunk and just come up and freak me out. But they are all so nice. These people are so nice. Also on my division I realized I'm in the poor area. We were serving in the Latinos area and the houses looked nice. So much nicer. The houses I teach in are very sad. I feel sorry and just like yeah it's hard to see. But the people that live in these houses are so much nicer than the people who lived in these nice houses. So I don't know. Cool experiences. I got to help in another blessing this week and it was awesome. As well as go to a baptism to help out for our zone Leaders (who happen to be in my district) so it was really cool to see that and help out. I'm doing good. Had some struggles but for the most part did really good. Thought for the week is all things are possible with God's help. My spanish will get there with his help. My worries and fears get put to comfort with his help. Just it's awesome how much help I've received. Anyways, thanks for being on my email list, I hope you enjoyed. Go have a great week everyone.
Love everyone's favorite,
Elder Monson
