This week was a bit crazy. We didn't quite have as much time to work as normal... Because of the elections we had to be in our home at 6 on Sunday, then on Tuesday we had our zone conference, on Thursday we had our interviews and a house check, on Friday we had a fireside in the stake center, and through all this Elder Reyes was sick. It was a little different but I learned a ton this week.
The zone conference was awesome as always, its fun to gather as a bunch of missionaries and learn together, oh and the Costco pizza is also a perk. After the zone conference we had a few meetings with the Bishop and the ward leaders so Tuesday absolutely flew by.
Wednesday was a normal day, we had quite the interesting experience though... We were knocking doors in a street that I had never been before, and we met this man named Benjamin. Basically he just wanted to fight about the Bible, we tried explaining the Book of the Mormon but he wasn't hearing it so we just offered to finish with a prayer. I said the prayer but before leaving, he wanted Elder Reyes to say one too, so he said a prayer as well, and then he said that it was his turn. So he said his prayer as well, and in the middle of the prayer he started talking gibberish, Elder Reyes and I looked up at each other in surprise. After he finished he said he didn't know what he said but he knows that God understood... It was an interesting experience.
Friday was cool because of the fireside, President Palmer and the Stake President shared messages and then answered questions. We had a few recent converts that came and they all asked great questions, it was a great fireside, there were a ton of questions and it lasted about 2 hours.
Saturday we were able to find an awesome new investigator, his name is Andres and he was a Luchador when he was younger, with the masks and everything! In our next lesson were going to ask to see them to see if we can get a photo with those masks. But yeah, this was a good week! Hope you all had an amazing 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had so much rain this week ... we had fun with an overflowing drainage thingy!
