WOW! what a week.  It was kind of funny because last Monday, I had an old guy yell in my face, and no it´s not something that happens a lot.  Well what happened is that we went to go visit someone that lives in his house, so when we got there he started showing us his books, it was very interesting, but we were there with a purpose, so we tried starting up the lesson, but he would cut us off and start talking.  Later on, the son of who we went to go visit, went to ask a question, but the old guy snapped at him, so his mom got upset and started yelling and he started yelling back, then in a moment he turned his anger to us and started yelling at me about an inch from my head, but I stayed calm.  He was a 70 year old man, so I wasn´t too worried, but we decided to leave.  It was funny to be honest, because he got all worked up over nothing.

Oh and we are also in a trio now, our district leader´s companion went home for sickness and there aren´t any other trios in the mission so he will be with us for the next three weeks, or until they find him a companion so now we are working in two areas.  It´s a lot of work to be thinking about both areas, hopefully we can survive.  He goes with members whenever he can, but with us both preparing investigators for baptism, we are stretched out a little.

I also haven´t mentioned that our ward is in bad conduction, by December we should be combining with another ward, they are just trying to hold out until another ward gets divided so that the stake doesn´t turn it back into a district.  I was hoping that we would have enough time to get the ward back up, but there just aren´t enough priesthood holders, but we are doing are best to help things move along.

¡Les amo!
