A Kerfuffle? Altercation? ... and a happy result.

alright im writing sloppy because i have a pretty crazy story. so last monday. literally right after i emailed. we were waiting for the bus because we were going to go to jerez to go shopping. it was me, elder nunez, and elder hall. we were just standing there at the bus stop, and i look over at elder hall and some huge buff short crazy looking guy with long dark ponytail is up in elder halls face and they are just staring at each other. at first i thought he was an investigator of member or something, but then he starts yelling at elder hall, right in his face. so i realized that this guy isnt friendly, so i walk up and stick my hand out and say hola, and he gets up in my face starts yelling like a crazy guy (obvi on drugs) and claps his hands super hard right in my face which freaked me out. then he shoves me really hard, and comes up to be again and i shove him away from me, and then some woman runs in and breaks us apart and yells at me WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? and i say NOTHING! and shes shoving him away, and then he shoves her really hard, so i run in to break them apart, and he shoves me again and is trying to grab me. then i realize that they are like boyfriend and girlfriend or something. and she shoves him down the sidewalk as he keeps trying to get back at us. it was crazy, we had no idea what happened. so the bus came, and i got on to pay, elder nunez was on the bus waiting behind me, and elder hall was still outside the door of the bus waiting to get on. after i pay i look down the bus to see where to sit, and i see the same huge guy just sprinting down the sidewalk back at us. and i turn back to elder hall and yell GET ON THE BUS, and i grab him and pull him on. the guy would have just leveled him if he had still been outside. so the guy jumps on the bus and is yelling and screaming at us, and then he just shoves me really hard again into the side of the bus. im putting my hands up and shoving him off me, and the girl comes back and pulls him back down the sidewalk. it all happened right next to the driver and i looked at him and he was just acting like nothing happened. it was really weird. 

so then we´re sitting on the bus talking and some guy sits down behind us and asks what happened? so elder nunez explains and we all say yeah the guy was on drugs or something. and then we started talking about how we´re missionaries and blah blah balh and we teach english class and he was interested in that. then elder nunez sits next to him and starts talking about the book of mormon. the guy and his wife were really interested and asking amazing questions. then nunez said that the book was a gift for him and he started crying! because he was so happy! and his wife was really happy too. we took their info and were freaking out after they got off the bus. but then me and elder nunez realized that they live in the other area. so we cant teach them...it was a miracle though. that that guy was messing with us, and it opened up a conversation with golden investigators. 
the next day we did splits and so i was in the other area, and we visited that couple. they are amazing and so nice. before the lesson even started they told us that this was our house and we can come by whenever we wanted. he started crying again during the lesson and she said the closing prayer. they are amazing and would be perfect members. its a shame we cant teach them more but hopefully theyll be baptized soon and come to church and stuff... 
Tri-Zone Conference from the very SW part of Spain. Calvin is third from back left.

thursday night i stayed in puerto santa maria and did splits with an elder there. its a cool little town. friday we had a zone conference in sevilla with the president so that was cool. the chapel in sevilla is really really nice. i think its the nicest in all of spain. the conference was fun. not many of my friends from the mission are serving in this part of spain right now but i still got to see a few people.

thats allllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


love ya!
