Then after Thursday everything exploded

April 13, 2015

Hey there!


This week has been really crazy as well! Remember when I said that we are waiting for the mission to bring us our stuff and for the owner to fix our house. Yeah, nothing has changed so far but this morning the mission office called and apologized and said that everything will be delivered tomorrow. Maybe, just maybe, tonight will be my last night sleeping on the floor! Haha not counting on it.

This week we have really just wo

rked very hard to find investigators and set baptismal dates. In the first half of the week we really didn't see the results. Then after Thursday everything exploded and we ended up with 15 new investigators and 8 of those 15 came to church!!! I was so happy i really thought that we would have nobody in church! It was also the first time that we met the ward so it was a really good first impression :) When they saw how many investigators were here they were all super excited. Such an emotional testimony meeting. 


Apart, the ward is just so happy to finally have missionaries again! One of the greatest things was that one of those who came to church was the husband an active convert. We ate with her during the week and his husband got home right as we were teaching the lesson. He stayed for the lesson and we felt prompted to invite him to come to church and he came and now he is really excited to be investigating. Everyone was shocked. They said that he has been really closed to missionaries. His wife and his daughter were so happy that he came!

My companion Elder Hadley and I have a really hard time not laughing uncontrollably. Its going to be a problem... haha i can't even think of a quote of the week because everything was just so funny! On Saturday he felt really sick but couldn't throw up so the zone leaders told him to drink salt water to make him throw up. I seriously could not stop laughing. SO FUNNY.


I went on intercambios with Elder Lier. We had a good time talking about old times. We contacted a lady that said she had talked to missionaries a year ago. she said she lived in Guaycura. Elder Lier and i just looked at each other and said "was it us?' haha.

About 30 Chinese restaurantes have been closed here in Tijuana because they are taking dogs off the street and putting it in their food. Not even surprised...it has caused quite the crisis.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPENCER AND SHANNON!

Love you all, 
Elder Smalley
