Week 14

 This week was super good. I didnt even know there was an earthquake until we went to a members home and it was on the news. We didnt feel anything in the area where we are at. I was a little sad, I kind of want to experience an earthquake but I dont want our house to break or anything, maybe just a small one. It has been really hot during the day still. My companion and I bought some hats for some protection but now people think we are Jehovahs Witnesses, because there is a JW church in our sector and all of their members wear hats like the ones we bought. My companion and I watched this video on the LDS website by Elder Bednar titled Being an Agent to Act and it was super good. He talked about how our main purpose here in mortality is to learn, and we learn in such a way here that we couldnt have learned in premortality. The lessons here prepare us for eternity. We progress step by step, a little bit at a time.

     We set baptism dates for this family we are teaching and they attended Sacrament Meeting with us which shows they are committed as of right now. Also during Sacrament Meeting this week there was this kid who could not sit down, he just kept running around the chapel. His mom gave him cookies to try and keep him quite, he took the cookies and then started going around asking everyone if they wanted one, which is really cool of him to do, but it was still super distracting. 

      Another question someone asked me in English "What time is your name?" I tried so hard not to laugh. They also call me John Wayne because of the hat I have.

       Thats so crazy that Trump won! Im glad Im here for the next two years. I dont know if I will come back to the US. 

       Hope everyone is doing well!

Les Amo!

Week 13

    The President changed a rule this week regarding P day, we used to be able to leave the mission because it is so small but now we cant which bummed a lot of people out because there isnt a whole lot of cool places to go in the mission, and my companion and I were planning on going on a hike in the mountains but we will find other things to do. How was Halloween? What was everyones costume? There were actually quite a few people here that dressed up and were Trick or Treating. I saw a really good costume of Edward Scissorhands. My companion and I dressed up as missionaries but there werent very many people that liked our costumes. We found another house of people from Haiti and they are super cool and nice. Also one of our investigators quite smoking and is really wanting to change. There is this less active family that we visit and try to teach but they have a young son and two chickens so there is a lot of distraction and we havent been able to have a very good lesson yet. Let me know who wins the election.
