This week was pretty good. I went on exchanges with Elder Hansen and Elder Robinson (another greenie that came in this transfer; Elder Driaza's greenie) When I was with Elder Hansen, we had the STRANGEST contact EVER. We were contacting on this street and we ran into this white guy who was walking really slow. So, we tried to give him a card, and he's like, "No, I already know all about the Mormons." So, Elder Hansen and I thought he was getting ready to bash with his, but then he started talking about aliens! ALIENS. He said stuff like that Noah and the ark was caused because aliens were having children with humans and that the angel Moroni was an alien talking to Joseph Smith and that even Joseph Smith was an alien himself! We talked to him for like, 20 minutes because he was so interesting. He said such weird stuff! We were pretty dumbfounded.
Exchanges with Elder Robinson were super good too. I RODE A BIKE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. But, it wasn't even my bike :( It was the bike of Elder Driaza :( But, it was fun! Their area is TINY (really it's like, 9 or 10 streets because it is so jam packed with Spanish people) so it was really easy to find people and talk to them.
There isn't a whole lot going on in our area as of now... :( We haven't found any new investigators for about 2 weeks, and the ones we have found, we hardly ever meet with because they never answer us :( but, we have been meeting with los Reyes quite often. Just Alicia and Rosa though. We still haven't seen Angel in forever :( but, Alicia and Rosa are doing good. They like it when we come over to teach, but they are really lazy and don't want to come to church :( But, we are progressing with them slowly!
We are also helping someone receive the Melquisedec priesthood! i don't know if I told you about him or not yet. His name is Arturo Alcayde. When I was with Elder Lewis, we had made a goal to help him receive it. Like the second to last week of the transfer we finally were able to meet with him and he told us he was trying to prepare himself to receive it too! So, that was a cool miracle. So, Elder Acaro and I have been meeting with him and trying to help him prepare to receive the priesthood.
I LOVE THE PLAQUE!!! THAT LOOKS SO DANG COOL!
So there was nothing majorly wrong with my pants? Because all my pants are like that, just not as extreme. Right now I have 4 pairs. One specifically for my suit and 2 from Missionary Mall and 1 I bought from Ross like 2 months ago. They were 70 dollar pants and I bought them for 17! WOO ROSS! All my clothes are holding up perfect!
Yep, President Cook speaks Spanish! He served his mission in Mexico when Utah and Cali were still a part of Mexico (jaja jk jk). It's not like I am struggling with the language, it's just I feel like I have flatlined and I can't learn anymore. Which is definitely not true! I still have lots to learn! You would think having a companion that speaks Spanish as a native would help, but I don't even speak Spanish with him jaja. It's all in English! He's from Piura. He's really cool. Probably one of my favorite companions. His whole family are converts. He was baptized at 8, by his dad, but his mom and 2 sisters were just recently baptized, like within the past 3 or so years.
I hate running. We run for 20-30 minutes in the mornings and we just run around where we live. There is a golf course that we occasionally run through and a sweet dirt path on the side of some road. I still hate running though.
Well, I think that is all for this week! I hope I answered all of your questions! If not, you can reganarme next week! ;) Have a fantastic week!
Love, Elder Hunt
P.S. I had a little surgery on Saturday night. (That's what the pictures are) My nametag had been cracking, and little by little it finally broke :( It was on Saturday night with Elder Robinson, and it broke at like, 7 PM. So, I wasn't wearing a nametag for like, 2 hours! I felt naked :( But, I taped it, and now you can't even tell it's broken! (jk) I colored the tape black, so it doesn't look as bad. I am going to have to order a new one soon!
