Man I can't believe it is Monday again! Transfers were this week and luckily I am staying with Elder Lewis and Elder Talanoa to finish their training! I almost thought that I would be transferred like it happened when I was being trained and my training got transferred after the first transfer. So anyways I am glad to stay. It was a 5 week transfer because our mission president went out of town during the usual transfer week so now this next transfer is 7 weeks.
The best part of this week was being able to teach Lance and Diana some more! They are a way funny family that we found by helping them carry some stuff into their house. Lance is a member of the church and Diana is not. So we have been teaching them and they have been reading the Book of Mormon and Diana said she would be baptized in November! Pretty awesome, they are great.
We also went on exchanges with the zone leaders and I went with Elder Nelson back to 4th ward and that was great! Elder Nelson is being transferred up to Springs and I will miss him a lot. It was good to be his companion for 3 transfers and then in his district for another one.
It was also fun because we were able to help finish up a member of the ward's house by caulking everything. That was fun because we have been able to help since I have been here with his house and it has been fun!
One funny thing that happened this week was us being so overfed 2 times this week! So first time we had just locked up our bikes and were about to go tract this street with the hour we had before dinner and this truck honks at us and waves and pulls into a driveway close to us. So I thought it was a member and went up to go talk to them but it was this Hispanic couple that I couldn't understand very well at first but they invited us in. So we go in and they sit us down and just feed us this 3 course meal that was super good! It was pretty neat to meet such nice people and we are going to bring a Spanish Book of Mormon to them. But then we had to go straight to our next dinner so I was just so full after that. Then a couple nights later, we had set up a lesson with this less active family in the ward so we went right after dinner to their house. Walked in and were talking for a little bit and then they started saying a prayer and their son said "please bless the food" in his prayer and I looked up at my companions and was trying so hard not to laugh because just 20 minutes before at dinner we told these members about how we got overfed earlier in the week. So then we ate another dinner and I think I got some stretch marks on my belly now.
Other than that it has just been a great week! We have found a lot of solid people to teach and I love serving here. It is also starting to get colder now and this is the part of the mission that gets pretty darn cold. Luckily I won't be here for the really cold part but it already snowed last Monday, it was really light but still! Alright well I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
