The cool down

This week was a super fast and fun week. The weather has finally started to cool down and has made it fun and enjoyable to be outside. With the weather we have been out biking and walking tons which has just been sooo much fun and awesome. We are always talking to people and always finding people to talk to but, everyone says they have their own church and don’t want to change. It’s been really hard for me, we have been finding people and have been giving them to other people and we hear about their awesome stories and how they are having so much luck and we aren’t having too much success. It kinda brought me down and I thought I wasn’t a good teacher and I didn’t feel like I was doing a very good job.

One morning I said and pray and asked for help and realized that I was comparing myself to others and it was bringing me down, so I had to stop comparing and think of all the thinks I’m doing right. It’s been a challenge but it’s been good and I have been much happier. This week was really fun, we had lots of fun, I love being able to walk around and just talk to people, even though some of them aren’t the nicest or want to listen, we do find people who will listen. This week we found lots of interesting people which is my favorite part about the area I live in, we have so many unique people. One day we were walking around and talked to this lady who had 4 inch long finger nails. Not too much long later we knocked this door and we talked to this really nice lady who said she was read the BOM and so we asked if we could come back and talk to her about it, and she said "no I don’t need you guys to, I’ll just ask god" it was kinda strange but cool.

We talked to this old guy, who was super nice and gave us a cantaloupe and said to come back the next day so we did and we were talking to him and he starts eating these chili peppers, He had tons of them growing in his front yard. He was growing the 4 hottest peppers in the world in his front yard, we started talking about them with him and then he says he always has fighting chickens in the backyard ahahah. We went back there and there were hundreds of chickens, I loved it, I was chasing them around trying to catch them. We also had some rough days this week, we finally got to talk to bladdimirs dad, and he said he just wants to make sure bladdimir is ready, so we were super stoked about that. We then talked to bladdimir and he goes I’m not sure if I want to be baptized!! Like what the heck, it was sooo hard for me so we invited him to pray about it. We also got a new branch presidency which is awesome and is going to be sooo good. 

Well I’m loving it out here, there are so much ups and downs but it is soo much fun. Thank you for everything.
