whatsupwhatsup!
pretty
cool week here in del rio. transfer week. i received my new companion,
elder trowbridge, and we're having a grand ole time down here in mexico
(not really mexico, but it might as well be). he's pretty sweet, his
favorite bands back home are the same as mine, and we played all the
same video games so that's awesome too. he's got pretty dang good
spanish too, so that's good cuz mine is still awful haha.
so
highlights of this week! "A" came to church! we're way stoked about
it! "A" is this 24 year old black guy, probably the only black guy in
del rio, and he is the MAAAN. he's got some word of wisdom issues, and
he has a lot of really bad influences in his life, but he's seriously
like one of the most charitable, nicest guys i've ever met. we knocked
on his door at 8:30 sunday morning and woke him up, and he was
uhm...well, pretty hungover haha. but he was like "hey, screw it, i
promised you guys i'd come to lets do this thing!" so we helped him
clean up and pick out an outfit and we rolled on over to church! he
loved it too haha, it was way cool! he made tons of friends, and we
actually had a lesson with him a couple hours after church, and he had a
great time there. he's really stoked to try out fasting and prayer, so
he says he's gonna do that this week. he also taught me how to grill
last week, i'm not sure if i told you guys that yet or not, and he wants
to have another cookout this week, so we're going to see if we can hook
him up with some members this friday night (instead of partying with
his other friends) and have a cookout there so we can get some better
influences in his life.
other than that we're
still just truckin along, knockin and walkin and teachin and preachin.
there are a lot of people who are willing to listen to what we have to
say down here, but not many that are really willing to act on our
message. i think it has a lot to do with the hispanic floja culture.
they're all just so chill and laid back, they're so nice and listen to
us...but they never come to church or read or anything haha.
my
spanish is getting a little better...i can communicate pretty decent,
so that's cool. i've been blessed with a pretty decent accent as well,
so that helps. as far as grammar and vocab and understanding...that's a
different story, haha.
anyways that's it for me! have a great week, love ya!
