So this week I didn't write in my journal a whole lot (that's where the email comes from really) because I have been trying to get more sleep to fight of this stupid cold. So my email won't be too long.... maybe.
So I did get a new companion his name is Elder Dean he has been out 15 months, he is from San Diego. He is a pretty cool kid and this should be a good transfer I am excited! When he got here he was sick and because I have to be with him 24/7 I eventually got sick. I don't know what it is, but it sucks, nothing too bad just a nuisance.
We started the week out super good Tuesday or Wednesday I think we had an awesome day! We were out tracting trying to find someone to teach and the time we had scheduled for that was up. We were supposed to go do less actives that the bishop asked us to go do, but as we were heading out I just really did not want to go do that. I cannot explain the feeling, but it felt to me like the biggest waste of time to go do bishops list (it isn't) and that we needed to find an investigator right now before we left the area. We biked around and a park caught our interest. We went over and looked around and I noticed that there was a man sitting on the slide. Normally I feel so awkward about going and talking to people out of the blue, but I knew we needed to talk to that guy. So we did, and it was so easy and not awkward even though it went about the same as other contacts(does that even make sense?). We got talking and long story short, he is going through some trials in his life right now and had been praying to God for help all day.
I did not think that the spirit was leading us that day. It just felt like we were trying to be good missionaries, but as I look back it is easy to see the influence that the spirit had on us. It changed how I felt about things and about the work it was odd, but really really cool.
Saturday was a lot of fun! We went and played ultimate Frisbee in the morning with some members and non members and halfway in it started to pour, but we kept going because it was so much fun! When it was all over we biked home and the water was halfway up the tire most of the way home which again was super fun and there was lightening everywhere. When we got back the the apartment the assistants had text everyone to stay in and it wasn't smart to go out (oops our bad). It rained and flooded for a good amount of the day, we went outside and it was up to our knees in the streets but it all drained out by late afternoon. We had to go in early on Saturday because of Halloween, but we went and bought candy to hand out first. We thought it was perfect people knocking on our door for a change!!! We might get some missionary work done! Not one person came to the door that night... so now we have bags of candy we are trying not to eat because the struggle to keep weight off is already hard enough.
Well that's about it for this week. Remember earlier when I said it might be short? yeah whoops I guess my memory was better than I thought.
love you guys
