The madness and the Book

Well this week was actual madness. I went on splits Wednesday in the city and ended up in the house of some guy named Leo. As usual, I couldn't understand a thing and we taught our lesson but this guy was nuts. I don't think he was completely sober personally, then the one thing I understood was Elder Curtis asking him if he's ever killed someone and he said yes and that he went to prison for 6 months! What?? Then last night we were at a dinner appointment with a less active and he wanted to show us his hacking skills and he did some pretty dang shady stuff on the web, not gonna lie. So yeah, we meet interesting people for sure. Oh yeah, to add to the madness (and controversy) my companion who doesn't speak English loves English Christmas music so when you all start arguing in November if it's appropriate to listen to, remember I've been listening to it since September! Also I went to the hospital this week so that was madness as well. I had a bit of a fever and I told my companion who called the mission nurse who insisted I go to the hospital. He was convinced I was dying, even though I felt decent and prescribed me two days of bed rest. So that's always interesting for an eager missionary. On the bright side, I am well studied and rested now!

Our focus this week was on our 14-year-old investigator, Tomas. Before this week, he didn't believe in God but now he does and came to church and has a baptismal date for this month so hopefully that all goes well!

The last thing I wanted to include was how much people have been emphasizing the Book of Mormon in my life lately. It has literally been the name of the game for me. It's all we talked about in the MTC and all we talked about in zone meeting this week and is how we are instructed to contact everyone. It is true! Remember last April that President Monson asked us to read it every day!! PLEASE DO THAT!! FOR ME :)  I know the Book of Mormon is true and will change lives!!! 

LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!! PRAY FOR MY SPANISH! ;p

Con Amor
