11/7/17 - 8 Lunches and 4 Dinners

This week was great. It was also funny for a lot of reasons. We had the President of the stake come and he just went in on the leaders of the ward. He threatened that if they don't help the missionaries more he's going to recommend to President Stauffer to take us out of the ward and put us in another. So just on Friday, Saturday and Sunday alone we had 8 lunches and 4 dinners from members hahahaha I think I gained 4 pounds in a week but it's all good. 

Juan de Dios is getting ready for his baptism this Saturday!! Yeah his name is John from God crazy no?? We are excited - we are teaching good people and we are working hard. We taught a man and the next day came back to teach his wife. When she came out from around the back of the house she was full of fire!!! "I'm Catholic I read the Bible and pray and I'm never changing!" She had her back to us and was really rude. Instead of fightng with her we just tried to testify and the Spirit softened her heart. In the closing prayer she cried and thanked God for sending us. The mission is lo maximo. 

My camera got wiped again. so I'm sorry if I don't have any pics but don't worry - we are still out here fighten'.  I love you all! Keep it up!! 

We went to a weird lake in the middle of the desert. It was fun, really odd to be surrounded by water and green grass but it was sick.
