Hey!
Another week gone. Thanks for the picture, it is pretty sweet. Are week was the best one we've had so far in Des Plaines. We finished off the week finding 9 new investigators. And we've started to get things back in line with all the families that we couldn't get in contact with. (Rogelio and Alicia) They are super cool! There was a baptism last Saturday of the other elders, was Amy, and she is about 21 and is super cool. She has a super strong testimony and went through a lot to get to this point. So we went by la familia Sanchez, our recent convert/less actives and there is a 2 year old daughter of the daughter, and I have never heard her speak until last night and guess what her first word was.......b*tch! And she kept on saying it! We got after them but they didn't really do anything about it. They were really loud as well so I just decided to sing some hymns with them instead of trying to share anything, so we did and then Elder Colvin shared the scripture in Eph. about using good language. We kind-of let them have it. But they said they are coming to church this Sunday. We are starting to re-teach Cesar, our 400lb investigator that comes to church every week but doesn't know really anything cause the past missionaries didn't teach him well. so we are starting all the lessons over and continue to see if he will be baptized but just worries a lot about the economy and not having a job. Oh and last Thursday, Minnini, the crazy woman, came up to ME and shook my hand and then started talking to me as if I was her best friend. It was such a joke. Elder Wetstone was with me on exchanges and she still doesn't talk with him so she ignored him. He would then sometimes ask me to ask her something and tell her stuff and it was pretty funny. We have some good appointments tonight with some cool people so I hope all goes well. Things are fun. Hard but fun. We finally played volleyball! It was pretty fun. Definitely lost a lot on my game though. So, anything crazy happen? How's the ward? Can't think of much this week to talk about but I still have a little time so if I think of something I’ll write again. Later!
