Hey y'all!!
It has been a pretty "normal" week here in Andrews. Monday we went to see a less active who has a Christian rock band. I guess sometimes we go over to band practice for a couple minutes because the band loves Mormon Messages. It is pretty crazy!
Unfortunately we haven't been able to teach Maria again yet but we did get to see her on Monday night and she had just gotten back from a trip to Mexico. She had some family staying with her this week so she didn't want to meet but hopefully they will be gone this week!
We did A LOT of finding this week and the area we were in was a lot of Hispanics so I got to practice some Spanish door contacts! Also like the title says, we got to have a long talk with a Hispanic man who just wanted to fight (: our favorites! NOT. He opened the door, saw us, turned around and yelled to someone "it's the Mormons!" Then he talked to me forever in Spanish and I was only catching bits and pieces so we really couldn't argue like he wanted to (and we wouldn't because that is not our purpose) but we committed him to read the Restoration pamphlet and told him if he wanted to talk more he could call the Spanish Elders.
We had like nothing to do (other than keep on knocking) so we decided to take a chance and try some LA's that were do not contacts. So far none of them have been mean, just not interested in coming back to the gospel! I think we just have 1 left to try.
We had zone conference this week. It was great! It was surreal saying goodbye to the Heaps but I also can't wait to meet the Hales! It was all about the transition and how we can make it go best for us and for them. Afterwards we got to go to dinner with the Cayton's (a senior couple). We love them!!! It was great! We ended up getting stuck in Midland for about 45 extra minutes though because it was pouring rain and our little car wouldn't make it through the flooded streets! This week in Midland and Odessa there have been some CRAZY storms! Baseball size hail that breaks hundreds of windows! We have only seen pictures because while we are pretty close to both towns, Andrews doesn't get any of that weather because we are kind of in a hole so it goes around us.
We had only 28 people at church this week and only 4 of those were men so it was a close call as to whether we would be getting the sacrament! We were worried until they started showing up late! It has definitely helped me to better appreciate the worthy priesthood around me!
Love y'all and hope you have a blessed week!!
