Wind and Earthquake

I titled this letter wind and earthquake because yesterday there was.. umm.. lots of wind and an earthquake. but despite the weather this last week was pretty good. I´m going to give a rundown of some cool stuff that happened this week.

We have some investigators, named the familia Herrera, who are pretty interesting. We´ve had a few lessons with them, and they are going to pray to see if we have the true church. The problem is that they are way evangelico, and want to get baptized in a river so that their sins go down with the current. They accepted a baptismal date for christmas eve so hopefully they can come to church a few times before then. But they´re cool.

There is an active member who is divorced, so the weekends he gets the kids. His daughter has been coming to church quite a bit but lives with her mom. Well, we courageously went to her house to chat, and the mom is pretty nice so hopfully she´ll let us baptize her. We shall see.

Also this week something weird but amazing happened. I SAVED 2 DOGS. We were just riding our bikes down the street and we saw 5 like newborn puppies like running in circles in the street. We didn´t want them to get run over so we like herded them to the side of the road. But that was a bad idea because the side of the road has the acequia, which was full of water. So one of the dogs like fell in and totally started drowning, so I hurried and grabbed it as it was drowning. Then another one jumped right in and I had to save it too. It was like that part on The Grinch when grinch saves cindy-lou-who from getting crushed by the big presser thingy. ´Saving you? Is that what you think I was doing???´  so yeah then we herded them to a house and there they stayed.

Let´s see... This week we did some more intercombombs with the other Elders of Albardon. They had a baptism this week so they were pretty pumped. Their convert is pretty cool, I did his interview. They met him about a month ago and he is already like halfway through Alma in the Book of Mormon, so yeah haha.

Also, my comp turned 23 the other day so we went and bought some ice cream. Nothing too special but what do you expect haha. Wow, thanksgiving and Christmas are way close!!!! Time is going by way fast.

Today I was reading some serious BoM in Alma 32. We need to nutrir the good word so that it can grow. I´ve always heard about the whole ´faith is like a tiny seed´ but today I like understood it on a whole nother level. Like we have to protect our seeds of faith and shove out doubts and stuff. So there´s your sprirtual thought for the day.

that´s it for this week. Have a good one!

love,

Elder Anderson

Look closely at this picture.

so yeah we have a bunch of mice that run around our back yard thing. So we put a box with a stick and string, and put a bunch of cheese underneath and in like 2 seconds they came. haha then my comp grabbed one of them with a towell hahaha
