"We spent the next three hours just running..." (November 11, 2013)

Yeah we get money at the end of every month so everyone always runs out by the end. Yeah the cookies were mostly fine. A little crummy, but still worked. For Christmas I want a copy of Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith in English. They only have spanish copies here...

I also really need a warm sweatshirt to wear in the mornings. It doesn´t matter what it looks like or if its an old one of mine. It just gets really cold in our apartment when we wake up so I want something I can just throw on before I get showered and dressed and stuff. Also I need a jacket to wear out. I only have the long rain jacket which is weird to wear out if it´s just cold outside...I was thinking Domineau could somehow take it with her and then send them from France to here. I dunno.



This week was really good. We found 7 new investigators that we´re really excited about. Our old investigators were terrible so now we can get rid of them.

Two of them we found monday. We went to go teach this teenage kid english, but he wasn´t there, but his parents let us in and we talked with them for like an hour. They kept telling us how irresponsible their kid was and stuff. We shared a message with them and they are really interested in us as missionaries and what we´re sharing. 

Tuesday morning we got a call from a member asking us if we wanted to go eat at her house that afternoon. We said sure and went over to eat. She fed us tortilla de potata which is like an egg potato dish. It was pretty good. Then we left and walked over to the other Elder´s piso because we were going to do exchanges. As we were walking I felt like I was going to puke. We got to their piso and I ran to the bathroom and just puked up everything. As soon as I came out of the bathroom, Elder Buckway ran into the other bathroom and started puking up everything. We spent the next three hours just running to and from the bathroom puking and ...so we decided not to do exchanges. We made it home without [messing] ourselves somehow. I drank a bunch of water but it just literally went right through my body ...We just stayed in the piso that night and puked a little more. The next morning the mission doctor lady told us not to go out and we shouldn't eat too much. We felt a little better but were still puking a bit. The other Elder´s went and taught two of the lessons we had planned, and even put a baptismal date on one of our investigators for us. So that was nice of them. That day was pretty boring mostly. We watched church movies and read church books. That was about it. 

Saturday we went to knock doors in a building and the first door we knocked was a brazilian woman and she let us in and we talked a bit about the Book of Mormon. She had family that were members. We have another lesson with her at 6:30 tonight, so I´ll let you know how it goes next week. 

That was really it. For P-day the whole zone went to this space observatory which was literally the dumbest thing in the world. An investigator of the Elders in San Fernando set up the tour and said it was awesome, but it was just three hours of the most boring thing in the world. All of us in the zone were just laughing at how uninteresting it was. But its ok, we had fun because we were all together.

That´s all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Love ya
