Es casi el tiempo loco de Louisiana



Hola famila y amigos,

So almost to Mardi Gras season. The craziest time of the year there is here in Lousiana, and I’m in New Orleans-the capital of crazy Mardi Gras parties. We will see how the next couple weeks ("the weeks of sin" as the missionaries call them) are before Lent.

Everything out here is going awesome. This last week we had a lot of fun times in lessons. One of the things that I love the most about a mission is when we get to become friends to our investigators not just preachers. Because that is when they begin to listen to you just a little bit more because they know you are a real person not just a robot sent to teach them the Gospel. It’s fun to see people progressing, and we have one or two people that the next time we see them we will be trying to set a baptismal date, so that is exciting!

A crazy story from this week was just this last Saturday. Elder McCormies and I were walking up to a investigators house that lives in a weird apartment type set up, where there is a little courtyard right outside of his house, with other houses all around it. So we walk to the court yard and we see these two guys dressed completely in black with their hoods up messing around with two pit bulls. Now that might sound a little creepy and scary, and that's because it was. But the reaction that we both had was pretty great. We both pause for a split second, stare just long enough to have, "Oh shoot those are pit bulls,” go through our heads. Then just take a slow step back and keep walking like nothing happened. I bet if someone had watched us it would have looked pretty fantastic. Luckily the worst thing that happened was that one of the pit bulls stared at us, and then ran away.


Love y’all and hope you have a great week!
