Getting Legally Married, Meteor Shower, And Guac

Hey hey hey what's going on everybody!!  It's me again. It's crazy I feel like I just did this. Anyways I'm gunna try and make this email a little better than last week. I know, setting the bar pretty high. OK so we've been working with our new member Rocio. It's been about a month since her baptism. We've been visiting her pretty consistently. She has told us many times, "so what's next after baptism". She has an awesome desire to know more about the gospel and the Book of Mormon. There is another new member that we meet with decently often. He was baptized about a year ago. His name is Alex. He's 17. He's a stud. He's here learning English while his fam is in Mexico. I think he could use a prayer. We started teaching some new people. The coolest ones are two kids of the aunt of a member in our branch. We started teaching Charita the aunt, last week and her two kids Natalie and Thaniero this week. We're excited about them.  We ...

Here You Are Talking About The Bible And Here I Am Bringing Home Beer

Hello wonderful friends and family!  Let's start with the title, it's a good story. So we were out walking around like missionaries do. We started talking to this one lady. She ends up letting us in to talk a little more. While we were talking, this guy walks in and in English says, "here you are talking about the Bible and here I am bringing home beer (grocery bag of beer in hand)." It was pretty funny.  Not much crazy happened this week. Lots of teaching and finding. A lot of people we are working with are very tough to get in contact with. We do have a few pretty cool people.  Yesterday one of the people we are teaching explained a lot more about how working in the field works. We got some more details. Like did you know they bag the produce there in the field after they pick it. Or at least for his company. It showed us some videos of them picking, and riding the tractor, and them working in the rain. It was interesting to learn a little more about it.  We have b...

Transfers, The Crash, Food, And IDENTIFY YOURSELF!!

Image
OK everyone.  Here is a fun(ny) experience. So the other night we got a call from a member. He said he had some sandwiches for us. We told him we could come over that night. So we drive over there and Google maps is dumb so we accidently knocked on his neighbor's door. This lady yells from behind the door, "WHO IS IT..... IDENTIFY YOURSELF" Well we didn't get shot so that's good. The sandwich was good.  Also we have a member who works at or is somehow involved with the high school so we got a buch of hot dogs and humburgers and lunch stuff left over from their senior BBQ.  The other day we were talking to a guy on the street. We were right outside of some other church (there's a lot in Santa Maria). So we were talking and all of a sudden  this dude comes walking around the corner and yelling in English. He was mad at the church we were standing by cuz they told him to stop loitering. We assured him that was not our church,. The guy we were talking to is like ...
