Another week in Baton Rouge . . . May 18, 2015

Hey everyone!!
I hope that everyone had a great week! This week was kind of crazy but not to crazy! But last P day we went to the church and played some basketball and hung out it was a very good time! Tuesday we went and tried to see a bunch of people and we weren't able to see anyone. It was kind of a bummer! But then on Wednesday we had a great district meeting and we had our Zone leaders come because we went on exchanges!
So on Exchanges it was a little crazy! First we forgot to get our phone from my comp and we had no idea how to get in contact with him. So we went to the other Elders house to try to call them and they weren't home. We then went to a gas station so we could use the bathroom and wait and try to find people while we waited for them to get home! While we were there it was actually the grand opening for this new gas station. They were giving out free frozen yogurt! While we were there get got to talk to a couple of people and we got frozen yogurt! It was awesome!
After we went back and the other Elders had just gotten home, they call my comp and we finally got the phone so that we could go home! When we got home we made some great plans and went out! We found this Hispanic neighborhood and we just started to track and contact as much people as we could see! And  not very many people were interested and didn't want to talk to us. But then we came across a guy named Fransico. We started to talk to him and said that the Elders use to come to his house all the time, but for some reason they stopped coming. He was very interested for us to come back again but he was about to leave so he didn't have time for us at that moment! So we got his info and he said we could come by anytime we wanted after 3 or so! And that was a huge blessing, and later on in the exchange we found 2 huge areas for Hispanics, with just neighborhoods full of them so it was a great exchange.
But i am so grateful to be able to be out here and to server the Lord, you never know out here why people might have been dropped or found when you found them. But the Lord puts people in our path to help and bless there lives. Most of the time we might not even notice it. But i am so grateful for his gospel and all the happiness its brings! I hope that yall had just as great of a week as i did, and keep safe! I love and miss, and pray about all of yall! Tangan un buen semana!!
