Week Eighty Six

Hey family, how are you guys?
June is 8! Holy cow June!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do you feel?
Happy birthdays to June and Bett.

Pretty normal week.

Had splits with Elder Tracy. Such an awesome day. We found this gangsta on the street walking his dog wearing a t-shirt of an indian skeleton and so we talked to him for a bit. I asked if he was from Ecuador because usually dudes with black ponytails are form Ecuador but he wasn't. But he agreed to listen to a message so we taught him in a bakery. Then halfway through he was like, "Hey one sec," and he sprints away with his dog. We thought he ditched us so then Tracy said a quick prayer and right when he finished the dude came running back with a different dog.

This is the dude #evidence His name is Andres Moreno and the 1st dogs name is Rocky.

We have gotten to be way better friends with the bishop. I stand by what I said... being a good missionary is just being best friends with your bishop. He visited our investigator Victoria with us. Victoria has been looking for somebody to take care of her dad in Houston and bishop Rojas came and set her up with these members looking to live in Texas. Love when people can find real solutions to their problems.

Anyway then Bishop drove us home and told us all about his wife and his mission. Super young dude.

We aslo found Jacinto Dela Rosa and his family. Lives right in front of the temple and missionaries have never talked with him. We knocked his door. He is from Santa Marta which is a coastal city donde queda la gente relajada

Also had the activity of taking out elders from the MTC to work.

I went out with these dudes. I love getting new missionaries WAY out of their comfort zones. I made them sing Called to Serve on the train and then we got interviewed and filmed at the temple by university students studying Mormons and I made them answer like all the questions even though they don't speak Spanish.

Also we forgot to pay the electricty bill so we took out all the candles from our emergency bag. Freezing showers in freezing Bogotá!

Elder Dias and I making salad for the missionaries going home.

Sure love you guys!

So excited to see June and Betty! Looks like you guys have grown a ton! By the way, I don't know if June knows but I was at her school this week!! I dressed up as her teacher and she didn't even realize...
