Week two in the field guys! It's been alright but I'll keep this short and highlight a couple parts of the week.
So on Tuesday we had splits with the zone leaders, Elder Peterson and Elder Lawrence. Both Elders are awesome and so fun! I was with Elder Lawrence and Elder Neilson that night and we went to a little pocket that was just FULL of Guatemalans. We seriously talked to over 30 Guatemalans that night by street contacting. We were talking with this guy and then there was a neighbor I could see in like a separate neighborhood but he was just filming us for a while and I just waved over at him and then he got on the phone and I was like whelp he's calling the cops hahah. About twenty minutes later we were across the street talking to another guy and then I see two cop cars driving down the street and then two min later we see the lights behind us. Well we ignored it and just kept focusing on the lesson we were teaching this guy and then the cops came up and said they were getting complaints and then Elder Neilson started talking back to them and started getting kind of aggressive and Lawrence and I tried to calm him down but they ended up trying to cuff Nielson and he started resisting so they tried to take him down but since he's a big guy they had to start tazing him!! Elder Lawrence and I were like we gotta help our companion so we started getting involved and anyway we all got cuffed and brought us in and we had to get bailed out by our mission president, but while we were there we ended up converting everyone that was there that was in a cell with us. Nah I'm just playing that didn't happen😂just had to see who is actually reading these emails! The cops actually really didn't care they were more just annoyed the person who called and said we were fine and then left. But anyways we ended up giving the dude a Book of Mormon and he said he would read it. He didn't speak any English so he was probably super confused why the police were talking with us 😂(I just learned how to use emojis on here it makes me so happy). We ended up finding 6 new people that night, which means that we taught them a lesson, gave them a commitment and scheduled a time to visit again. So it was a good night.
Okay then this Saturday we had an area blitz! Basically our entire zone for the whole day went proselyting in one area to help kick start it. In the morning I went out with the 2 other new missionaries in the zone and we went out knocking in this neighborhood that apparently had a lot of spanish speakers. We only saw a couple but it was good we were able to hold conversations and everything and understand. We also got a couple references for the English speaking missionaries. Then we had a member pull up and give us a whole pizza so that was sick. Then in the night i went out with Elder Peterson and Elder Gunnell who is my favorite. Him and I have a similar personality and just relate well together so it made it for a fun night, we found a guy from Argentina and were able to pray with him and scheduled another time to come by and he seemed interested. The blitz was fun and we helped a lot with the area to get more people and it was much needed for me because I needed a change since this week really dragged ngl, so I would call it a success.
And to finish off the week after church a member gave us a full rack of ribs!!!! So we ate that and then went to a members house to do a quick lesson and visit with them because they haven't been coming to church as much. They are from Honduras and man I could hardly understand a single word. And the mom loves to rant so the whole time I would just smile and nod, and then she would a me a question and it would always catch me off guard😂she would also start randomly laughing and I guess it was at me because she knew i wasn't understanding a word and was just smiling and nodding. Anyways super kind family and they fed us a ton, I was trying tk be careful about finishing my plate too quick because everytike I got close she would refill it😂 but it was fine the food was really good.
But yeah not much went on this week so I'll leave it there, and my thumbs are tired from typing this out 😂so enjoy a couple pictures
