Hey family (received 11/28/16)

Weekly highlights!

well I forgot my planner with this weeks episode written down but here we go

New Zone- we have a zone where I don't hardly know anyone in the mission... I'm old.

greenie- one greenie told me he watched my blog and loved it before the mission and said i was famous(which i already know) and he started complimenting me ... the curse of wide spread fame.

Ward dinner- We had the ward Pavo(turkey) dinner. I like Mexican turkey better. It's not so dry and bland as regular turkey.

Elizondos- talked to the Elizondos at the ward dinner, Hector and i talked about Call of Duty and i learned how to say stuff in Spanish like "ModernWarfare Dos!" and "tirar con un Ak fortysiete" Modern Warefare 2 and shoot an Ak47

Calling the Doctor- the next day I woke up with really bad pain in my abdomen, we monitored it and called Sis. Hewett, we were afraid that it was something wrong with the appendix but the whole day the pain stayed but no other symptoms came.

Sick- stayed the same the rest of the week, its a stomach virus

Bro. Rios- found a super cool less active who is really wanting to come back to church and bring his daughter, hes only like 26 but hey not a bad thing, we need more young blood here

still sick... ya...

Still need my routing number... cant pay fast offerings...

Alejandra- We received a referral to someone from the sisters, we decided while we were in the general area to stop by before the indicated availability time, we stopped by and some southern white dude answered, and we asked to see if Alejandra was there, he said "yes, Alex those guys are here" and he invited us in, well Alejandra peeked behind the door and was like "Pasale, pasale!!!"(come in) we started to take with her and found out she is an active member from Coahuila. and had been living with her Tios for the past month and didnt have any contact with any church members so we got her all set up to go to church. Yesterday she came, and bore her testimony on prayer and how her prayers were answered to be found, she sat down and the entire ward, swarmed her with cuddles and like"we are here for you, if you need anything let us know" and etc.
