I hope that everything is good and yall are having a good time! This past week has been starting to get really hot and humid. And i am not really ready for that. Also August is the hottest month of the year down here. So i am starting to prepare myself for that. But other then that this week was awesome and i have some good stuff to tell yall!
I'll start off with a story about my hair that i buzzed short! So my hair has been getting really really long and i had cut it for a long time! So i was asking around the missionaries if they cut hair or if they knew someone i could get my hair cut from. So our Assistant told me that he is great at cutting hair and he learned for one of the other missionaries i use to get my hair cut from. So we went to his house and he started to cut my hair! And everything was looking great.....until he did the sides. He did a 10 or so on the top then he went with a 2 on the sides. And Just kept asking him if he knew what he was doing. He kept telling me not to worry that it would look fine in the end! So I just kept let him cutting my hair while i closed my eyes. When he told me he was done I opened my eyes and i looked like i had a black man flat top! It was really funny. Then i just took the clippers myself and i cut it all to a 3.
Also this week I got to go to where no Spanish missionary has every gone before! There is a part of the mission called Alexandria and it is all English missionaries out there. And so our office elder's needed some help moving some cars around and so we got to go to the furthest part in our mission. It was really fun and weird because. I have been in mostly city places and this place was straight country! We also while we were there, we taught a lesson. Because there is one Hispanic family out there, and they want there little boy to be baptized but no one can speak to him. So we got to see him and teach him and it was really fun.
And last but not least is our investigator Edgar. We have been trying really hard to meet with him so we can help him move forward with baptism. But he has been working a ton and we haven't been able to see him. But the other day my comp and i were getting ready for bed, and it had been a rough day. Everything we had fell through and we didn't get to see anyone really. And then right as we were in bed we get a texted. We both jump up and it was Edgar. And he told us he had been praying and he really wants to get baptized and he knows that this is the true church!! And we were so excited. We set a date for him on the 22nd of August. And it was truly such a blessing for us for this to happened, and i am so excited that he wants to make this commitment with our father in heaven! But i am so happy and grateful for the opportunity that i have to be out here, I have learned so much, and the some of the best times is when you grow with your investigator because when you grow with them, you don't see them as a number, you truly see them as family and are willing to help them with whatever they need. I hope that yall have a good week and are safe, Love yall and pray for you evernight!!
