Just Two More Weeks In Crevillente (August 19, 2013)

this week felt really long...the longest of my mission. but its ok. only two more weeks left in crevillente!!!!

so theres this woman in our ward, and i only ever saw her during sacrament, and she'd leave right after so i assumed she was less active or something. we had never talked. and so tuesday we went by her apartment, and she let us in. it turns out she's in the stake primary presidency and so shes always visiting other wards. shes the mother of another active member. and she speaks english and french and works as a translator for church videos. it made me realize how lost i can be with the relationships and people of this branch. hopefully my next area will be better. 

wednesday we went to go see a member, he wasnt there but his daughter who is excommunicated was there. we'd talked with her a little before and she had said she didnt believe the church was true. but we had a lesson with her and it was super spiritual and she said at the end that she knew the church was true. she cant get baptized again anytime soon but hopefully we can continue to help her.

we had special training with the president in alicante thursday. and thursday was a big holiday so the bus schedules were weird and we had to wake up at 5 in the morning to take the bus from elche to alicante. as all of us missionaries were walking towards the bus station we saw a ton of youth walking the opposite way, and at first we thought that they had all gotten up early to travel somewhere for the holiday, but it turns out that there was a huuuuuuge concert party thing in some big plaza, and it was still going on. at five in the morning... it was crazy. there were tons of youth there, and they all looked like zombies and staring at us. 

that was really it...this week we're trying to find 555 new investigators as a mission, and to have 100 baptisms in september. itll be hard but i think we can find 7 here.

p-day im gonna go buy a man purse i think. september 1 we have to lose our backpacks. so we're gonna go to elche where they have a store kind of like nordstrom.

im feeling good. my back has been hurting, which hurts my knee and ankle. ive been thinking of going to a chirpopractor, but i dunno.

no i havent had to use my inhaler. my sinus' are better but still not perfect.

yeah time is flying, cant believe 5 months already...

love yya tons
