Hey Everybody!

So to start off. What the heck! I have a baby sister! This is so crazy!!!!!!!...Ok I'm good. But seriously its kind of weird. It doesn't quite feel real. Maybe like in a couple days or when I Skype yall this Christmas it'll seem more real.

 

Elder Gore's new baby sister.

This week was kind of slow. But it was good. I got to see Elder Moore again. He is one our Zone Leaders now. So that was fun. But I realized how much I don't like being in a car. You can't talk to anyone. And so it’s just not as much fun. But the AC is pretty nice.

Other than that well. We took Brayan out with us. He is a super cool kid and loves to be out with us. He is a great help at lessons and has a very strong testimony. We went and did some door knocking, which is different from tracting. I'd explain it, but I think I'm going to get kicked off in 10 mins. So anyway we took him with us and had him knock a door, the person who answered was a big guy named Christopher.  We talked to him for a little while and found out he wants to start coming closer to God and we gave him a copy of The Book Of Mormon.  He said he would read it and then we contacted the English Elders and gave them his information and as far as we know they are now teaching him and he went to church on Sunday. So that was really cool! Oh and we found a random pencil sharpener on the side of a house.

On Thursday we had dinner with Hermana Escobar and her boyfriend and well we found out she has a Maserati. And we were all like "WHAT!?!" and so we went for a little ride cause like it’s a Maserati. When am I ever going to have the chance to ride in one of those again!? And she has a Honda Civic too so we thought we'd be kind of funny. And after that we taught the Hermana and her boyfriend about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Using the pictures and it went really well the Spirit was there very strong and the boyfriend who isn't a member told us he liked being around us and listen to the things we said and taught because he could feel a peace and a calm inside himself. He isn't an investigator because he lives in L.A and drives out every other weekend or so to see the Hermana. But he comes to church. So I see him becoming interested very soon!

More than that we had a ward party to celebrate the Fathers and they asked us to come set up. And so we did all of the stuff in the pictures! The crowns were for the winners of the games but we put them on for kicks before the party started. And then there were the games. Musical Chairs and the 3 legged Race. Hermano P and Hermano C took my belt to hold themselves together.

So all in all it was a pretty good week! I have to go now the computer is about to cut me off! I hope everyone has a great week and has lots of missionary experiences!

I know this church is true and that the message the missionaries share is true! Have a great week!
