OH MY FAMILY!!!!
Man it was sure good talking to you guys!!!!! It was a bit frustrating cause the video quality here kinda sucked but at least I got to talk to you folks. I liked ol phil´s beard he had going, pretty gnarly. Yes my package was awesome! I did get the memory card but i when i put the card in my camera it says their isnt any pictures so i am going to go to a photo printing shop and see if i can get it to show up there. I left my camera at the zone leaders house so i will have to send some pictures next week. The baptisms are coming along but that good story will come a little later. cause i have two weeks worth of information to tell you kids about. yeah i dont get any regular emails from laurie or daniel or kayla. so i think it might be a good idea to tell them to email me. I know they have busy lives but 15 minutes out of their week isnt going to hurt to email their brother who hardly hears from them. so let that be a warning haha. I get all of dads letters. sounds like everyone is still being busy at home.
So about the past two weeks. The week before christmas we tried finding alot of investigators singing christmas hymns. It sound dumb, singing christmas songs in the hot blazing sun right. It worked for one lady and another guy but we never could find them in their houses after that. so we spent alot of time trying to sing to people but no one wanted to hear my josh groban voice. Their loss. haha. So on the 22nd we went to Gaiman for the ward christmas party. They did an activity where we had to say one material thing we were greatful for. Of course i said, Book of Mormon. and everyone just laughed and was saying "thats the missionary in the corner", doesnt sound very funny but i guess you just had to be there.Then on friday the 23rd we found out that our ward mission learders in Gaimans wife passed away that day. Which was crazy cause we had just seen her the day before at the party in Gaiman. Our poor mission leader is taking it pretty hard. He is a good guy. but the lord will bless them. Then on the night of the 23rd we went to the christmas parties of the two other areas in our district in which i played an on the spot christmas piano number. The members were super impressed. on the 24th we had pday from 5pm on. so we went to hang with the other elders. Ate tacos and watched the ridiculous fireworks here. Its crazy. they shoot them off for like a half an hour. it was way sweet. Then christmas sunday we went to church and sang with a family, two musical numbers. acapella. i sang tenor. nailed my part. as usual. then we went back to the apartment and slept. for like 6 hours. monday i called you kids and bashed with this guy that was evangelical who told us that joseph smith is a liar and that we are following the devil and its because we are white and from the united states is why he wont read the book of mormon and all this garbage, then the real elder ross came out and set that fool in his place. i told him whats up and how our church is the only true church on the face of this earth and just whooped his hiney with my testimony. Then on the 27th, i woke up with 35 mosquito bites. 35!!!!!! by the end of the week i ended with 40. Then on the 28th was the day of all days on my mission. No one as usual wants to talk to us as we are doing contacts in the street. Then we meet up with this preacher, who tells us that we are teaching a false doctrine and that Joseph smith is a liar and all sorts of dumb stuff. Then as we were walking at talking about this we decided to do a contact with a younger guy, so my companion approaches him and he asked if we could shake his hand. He blew past him, so i took a try. Asked the same thing, he turned around and spìt on me. This guy spit on me. I got spit on. I was furious!!!!!! but i got thinking and i realized that i am doing this for the church, for the lord cause i love him. and we were blessed. We found a bunch of new investigators, put a baptismal date. and the rest of the week was history and we ended the week with 6 baptsmal dates. Then on saturday we went with the other elders and made tacos again and celebrated the new year with them. watched more fireworks. then on sunday we slept alot cause this sunday and last sunday were p days. we could either visit members or stay in the pención. so yeah that was our two weeks. pretty sweet. so ya. love ya fam!!!!!!
