Week 8

Ok so first week was pretty cool. My first full day in the mission I buried a dog and my companion had to put a squirrel out of its misery and we buried them in the same hole and I was asked to say a prayer over both of them.

 Also we do volleyball every Friday to have something for investigators to come to and we also do indoor soccer on Saturday's and the Hispanics really enjoy that. I also encountered my first bible bash by a 16 year old jehovah's witness girl from Zambia, but it was actually a distraction because while we were having a very pleasant conversation about Adam and eve, another set of missionaries were teaching her brother who was the original person we were there to teach.

 Also on sunday I let a puppy chew on my hands while we were teaching a lesson and it was super cute at first but those puppy teeth start to hurt after a while but no pain no gain. That lesson actually went really good because this guy had a lot of questions about the book of Mormon and things like why are we here and what's our purpose? So he was very receptive and I think that he can find a lot of the answers to his questions in the things we teach so that was a really rewarding experience after having a lot of stuff fall through this week. 

We don't really get a lot of dinner appointments but there is a family who feeds all the missionaries in the district every sunday and they made super good tortas. 

So yea hope everyone is doing good and I'm trying to reply to everyone who emails me which is kinda hard but that's what P days are for. 

Please water my plant mom lol
