July 28, 2014



Hey mom!

So yeah we got the shirts! They are sweet! I put a picture on dropbox! We are going to wear them to zone sports today! Its gonna be awesome!!




Other then that the week has been kind of slow. We haven't been able to find any of our investigators and it’s been really, really sad :/ We are going to do a do-or-die with them all this week and other then that we basically only have Johana who is progressing.

I was super excited to get your box with the Oreos cause I've been wanting to make deep-fried Oreos for like ever but I didn't want to buy them. So yeah I made everyone deep-fried Oreos. Everyone was way surprised about how good they were haha. The box is almost empty >.< 



We also went and did some service and Elder Martin found a giant card board thing so he folded it up into one of the shirts we make. It was pretty sweet!

(I asked him if there were any one year mark traditions in his mission)
As for mission traditions. We don't have any cause mission culture and traditions are apostate. In the San B mission, and in a lot of other missions, when you hit 6 months you burn a tie, at 1 year you burn a shirt (I think or else it’s a pair of pants), and at 18 months you burn the pants(or the shirt), and at the 2 years just before you go home you burn a full suit. But that's apostate and wrong and so we don't do anything. It’s just sort of 'oh cool you’re a year old.. get back to work hahaha.

Only other thing that happened this week is the 2 crashes. Well to keep it short. I crashed 2 times. Once, the first time last Monday, into a pole which should have sent me flying headlong into the ground. But I ended up on my feet next to my bike. I'm not quite sure how that happened and then the second time was yesterday and we were riding around and some kid ran into me with a bike. Bent his rim and cut his hand open on my bike. He went to the hospital and had to get 3 stitches.

Other then that I've just been working on my Spanish and trying to get better at teaching. But that's all that's happened this week. I hope everyone has a great week! I'll find a favorite scripture to send you next week and I'm hoping we'll get more spiritually uplifting experiences!

I know this church is true and that we are guided by a prophet of God! I know this gospel changes lives and brings true happiness!

Talk to you next week!
