Week 104!

Hola,
it sounds like everyone is having fun getting ready to come get me! jajajaja i'm doing pretty good as well.  this week we had a total milagro happen to us at church. we were waiting for investigators to show up at the door and 5 minutes before church starts up a man comes in named Andrés, he's has about 27 years.  he started to talk to us and told us that he's not a member and that he has never talked to missionaries before.  last week he went to another church building because he didn't know that this one was more close to his house.  he then told us that he has a brasilian girlfriend from Brasilia who is a member and they talked quite a bit about the church and everything so he got wuite interrested in the church through her.  he stayed for all 3 hours, participated in the classes and made very good comments.  he told us afterward that he really liked the church, so we talked to him a little bit more and we gave him a book of mormon and we fixed up a cita for tuesday to talk to him more.  he is a SUPER STUD!!!!! i talked to him a lot and he was making jokes and we started to talk about him family and everything and he is a guy with a good christian backround and he's been to quite a few churches and hasn't felt that "spark" and he told me that when he was talking to his girlfriend he started to feel that spark that he needed to start getting interrested in the church and what he believes.  so he is like a super stud and we're going to work with him a CRAP TON!!!!!  once again we had a lot of rain and crap.  but something that i thought was super funny this week is that we had Zone Conference and we had to go to Cerro which is supposedly a dangerous part of the mission.  so we had to take a bus from our area to that area which neither i or elder lopez had every been to.  so we asked our zone leaders for buses that we could take to get there and they told us that we had to take 2 different buses to get there and they gave us the numbers and everything.  to find out where they crossed in our area to take them we had to ask a member and he told us and then told us that there are a few buses that we could take that take us directly to that church so he told us the bus and that it would take about 30-40 minutes to get there and that the church was easy to see from the bus.  so we take the bus to go to cerro and we're waiting and at about 20 minutes i tell my comp to start looking for churches from the bus so that we can get off.  no churches pass by... 25 minutes...30 minutes.... 40 minutes... 45 minutes... 50 minutes... and then we pass a big bridge and we're out in the middle of no where and we finally see a small church. so we get off and there is mo one anywhere........................  jajaja so i just start laughing because we were supposed to be at the church at 8:30 and it was not 8:35 and we were in the middle of no where.  so i call the zone liders and they put me on with a missionary from cerro and i start telling him kind of where we THINK we are. and he askes me "is it a small church with like nothing near it?" i answer "Yeah" and he just says "oh noooooooooo.................." with a super depressed sigh.... we were like 45 minutes away from the church we were supposed to be at!!!! jajajaja so we get on the right bus and we end up showing up to the zone conference like an hour late jajaja i don't think that i could even get mad. i just started to crack up.  so that was kind of our week this week.  some highs and some lows!  jajaja but i love you all!!!

Hasta Luego,
