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!
