I hope that everyone is doing well and that yall had a great week! We had a pretty interesting week i guess, but we got the chance to go to the Book of Mormon play and had out Books of Mormon. I have some pictures from that and I will talk about it a little more later!! Also this week we were suppose to get hit with a huge storm, it did hit part of Louisiana. But we didn't get anything down here in New Orleans, which i was kind of bummed out about, that would have been awesome to have some huge floods and be able to go walk around in!!
But this week was pretty cool at the beginning of the week we went on another exchange with the Westbank Elders. I went with a Elder names Elder Sevy, he is a super funny kid and he was in our district last transfer. But we went and bikes around in the rain and had some fun. We found a new pocket of Hispanic's that we are going to try to work, and we old got to see one of our investigators. His name is Juan Carlos, and he is a super cool guy. His family got baptized in Honduras about 3 months ago or so, and we have been really trying to work with him, and getting a date. He has a hard time coming to church though, be we have faith he will come one week! But it was also kind of cool because his comp was in our area a while ago and so he showed Elder cooley some of the old people that they use to visit. And it was pretty cool because some of them were wondering why the Elders quit visiting them. So we had some good lessons and were able to meet some new people. Also a tender mercy that we had this week, was we were going back to visit some of the people that Elder cooley had found out about, from the other elder, and we were talking to him and he was super nice and a very solid guy. We had the feeling that we need to share with him some of the plan of salvation. So we did and he really liked it, and we set a time to meet back up with him. Well latter on we found out the his dad was murdered in El Salvador, and he had some questions about it, and it was a huge testimony booster from me again to see how important it is for us to be following the spirit in this work.
But it was a good week and we were able to find some more really solid people and we are hoping we can prepare them for baptism. But it was pretty funny we found out that the Book of Mormon play was this week down here in New Orleans. So we decided that we were going to give some books out and go and talk to as much people as we could. It was pretty funny because we talked to a ton of people, be the reason for most of the conversations was they thought that we were part of the play! They would ask us where they could park, or where a certain gate was, and we would tell them we have no idea and that we were real Mormon missionary's and they would laugh and talk to us for a bit. We also got offered free tickets to go in and watch the play, be we thought we better turn them down. But we had a good experience and there was a ton of people to talk to and we had a ton of laughs!! I have some picture's that i will send as well and the guy in the some of the pictures is a investigator and went to the show... he is crazy, but one of my favorite people out here! But i hope yall had a good week and everything is good! Love and miss yall!!
