Hey guys!
So what a week.
So
Monday night, I found out I would be going on changes for a day with an
Elder from a neighboring area. Elder Román. He is from Peru. He is
pretty funny. But Tuesday, it was super hot and I got really burnt. My
nose is just done for. We finished working that day and we ordered these
things called Mamelas. I am pretty sure I already told you what they
were. They are pizzas made out of Tortillas. Super yummy. But that day
Elder Rios had a District Leader thing he had to go to and he did not
get back till 12, so we just stayed the night there. Wednesday, we had
District class and then we had to go to Paraiso, Oaxaca. We had to do a
baptismal interview for a mom and her daughter. It went very well. It is
very pretty there. And then Thursday also, we found out that we had to
leave our area and go to Mina, Veracruz because my comp had to sign to
renew his visa. So while he did that, I stayed with Elder Andersen. Poor
guy. He had just found out he had had tapeworms for 5 months and the
doctors gave him some stuff to get rid of it. And it required him to be
in the bathroom almost all day.... So I just studied and slept and stuff
all day long while he suffered on the toilet. So that was my three days
out of my area. We did not get to do a lot in our area this week.
So we got back to work in our area on Friday. It was
a good day. We challenged a lady to get baptized and she accepted. Her
name is Italiana. It is a very weird name. We also had a family home
evening with a less active family. They brought a friend and she tried
to give me a kiss on the cheek. It is just a polite thing everyone does
here to the women. But we, as missionaries, cannot do that. So I had to
deny it. I felt really bad because the rest of the night she was super
awkward around us. She was like 17.
Saturday, we had a sister give us money to go and
buy some food. We went out to eat some Mexican style Chinese food. It is
not as good as American style. The lady there was very Chinese and she
was struggling with Spanish a lot. I started to realize how easy is was
for some of us missionaries. But it is because we have something she
does not. Gift of tongues. The spirit. Also, we visited a member that
asked me about alpacas and why we do not eat them. Whenever I tell
someone about the alpacas, they always ask if we eat them. It is because
the people here eat everything that moves. I swear.
Now to explain the title of this weeks email. We ran
into a drunk on Sunday afternoon. He was very drunk actually. He asked
us if we knew Joseph Smith. We said no, not in person. Then he said that
he did. We were kind of confused. He said he was 7 foot tall and they
were friends. Then he asked if we knew David Smith. We were like
uh...... who is that. He then got super angry and was just astonished
that we did not know who he was. Then he started to get a little
aggressive. He asked us if we had like a boundary around us that he could
not cross. And then he got right up in my companion's face. I would have
punched him if he did it to me. Then we got out of there.
Well that was my awesome week. I hope yours was great. Mexico is awesome. I love it here. I love serving. I love all of you.
