July 27, 2015. Life in B. R.

How Yall doing??
This week was a little crazy because we had everyone that was coming from transfers stay at our apartment because we are close to the stake center! So on Tuesday night we had about 8 extra  missionary's at our house! But basically almost every one in the mission got transferred but me and my comp so that was crazy!
But this week we got a referral from some Elders down in Houma. They told us that he was super solid and had some great questions about the Gospel. So we were able to get in contact with him, and we got to meet with him twice this week! And he is super awesome his name is Francisco, and he is from Mexico. He is 20 and a really nice kid. He has really loved everything that we have taught him and he wants us to keep coming back to visit him! But it was a bummer because we didn't see him at church. We asked a member if he could give him a ride. And the member never came so..... it was a bit awkward. 
But this week we have gotten a lot of good work done! we have been trying to clean out our branch roster because we have about 300 people on it and only 40 or so that come every week! Most of the people on there ether don't live and they haven't lived there for a while. But also this week we had a kid come and talk in out branch. And he had just gotten home from his mission in Mexico. And he also knows Max Piggott who i played baseball with. They were in the same mission. So its kind of a small world out there!
But other then that. Nothing to crazy happened that i can remember. Other then we have been helping the office elders with all the cars and stuff they are trying to sell. So we have been doing a lot of fun road trips and helping them out with that. But everything has been great! I love the mission it is literally so much fun and i learn so much every day from the people around me, and from the lord! I hope that yall have a great week and be safe! I love yall and pray for all yall every night!!
