So in case any of you didn't know, I don't actually speak Spanish, so don't judge me.... but I have been doing a bit of studies in it. Mandamientos = commandments, el libro de mormon, otro testamento de Jesus Cristo. Anyways, life is fantastic!! :D We got Ryan on date for the 22nd, which is 3 days before his birthday, which is totally inspired. After the lesson, me and my companion were both talking about how we wanted to put him on for the 15th, but the spirit told us 22nd, and its just cool how things work out like that when you listen to the Spirit. His only problem is that he needs to quit smoking, and he's only smoking 1-2 a day, so its completely possible. I have great faith in him. :D
Samantha surprised us by coming to church with her inactive boyfriend, Eli, which was super sweet, and we have a lesson with them on Wednesday, which we're very excited for because she's super interested. We met a lot of new people this week, but most of them caved on the second appointment, which happens a lot here. It's like the moment they're separated from the Spirit, they just forget about all the good feeling they had. And Steve dropped us yesterday, but I don't like that idea, so he's going to take us back. Just wait and see, it'll happen. :D
We hopefully had the last snow of the season this weekend, and its been colder than penguins out there. If only there was no wind, it wouldn't be half as bad, but the wind chill lowers it from like 10 to -10. haha When it's at 20 degrees, we're all like " OH MY GOODNESS IT'S SO WARM OUT HERE!!!" yes, it's so warm, not it's so warm. This is Hoosier Indiana land, not America. Haha I love it here so much!! My Companion is like the funniest guy in the world, I think he's going to turn out to be my favorite so far... just like the last guy... and maybe like the next guy... I just love everyone, they're such wonderful souls. Go Elders!!!! :D
Here's a picture of me and the girl that I baptized, I think I forgot to send it... anyways, I messed up 3 times on the prayer when I did it, pretty hilarious, that was Feb 15. And there's another with the 2 sisters that taught her. I kinda just look like the awkward guy to side in that one, but that's ok, sisters are like diseases. The farther you stay away from them the better. :D
WELL another superly fantastic week in front of all of us here in Muncie, and for all you guys too, wherever you are! Let me know if you want any other pictures, I can only send two at a time because Satan hates us. :D It's easy to blame everything bad on him, and fun, like a game. hehe I love you all!!!! A lot!!! Thanks for everything you guys do for me and all the other wonderful people you bless with your everyday lives! :D I just looked back and saw how many smiles I put in this thing... that's a lot. :D Keep smiling everyone!!!! :D Love ya!!
