I Gave My First Talk In Spanish
I appreciate all the letters and the emails that I get from everyone. I love reading your guys emails about your weeks and about what is new in your guys lives. I'm sorry I am not able to email ALL OF YOU back because sometimes we just... yaaa... but just know I love hearing from you guys even if I cant get back to you. I never know what to say in the first paragraph. It's a lot harder than you think.
Elder Moake and are are killing the missionary work right now. We have had so much success these past two week and its crazy because we don't even really know Spanish for some reason everything is working out. I gave my first talk in SPANISH yesterday. I think I did good. I made everyone laugh. so I think it was successful.
So this week I had the opportunity to go on exchanges with Elder Murri. My second kid. I am such a great father. It was a blast. I love that kid. It was cool to see how much he has grown in the mission in the past six months and to see him still use the same tactics that I showed him back in the day. but he is doing good. He is currently serving in South Bend and Notre Dame area.
So I have a crazy story I have to share.... are you ready? Mom please don't freak out.. so obviously there has been a lot of big fireworks going off lately and these huge mortars always sound like gunshots... and every time one goes off I always think its a gun.... so me and Elder Moake are schooling these Hispanic kids in basketball. like SLAMMING on them, it was fun. Then a group of black kids walk up to us (8 or 9 kids) and we talk on the street a little then they keep walking. We keep balling. Then like 2 min later we hear from down the street *pop pop pop pop pop* like 7 times. My first reaction was oh its probably a fire work. So I look down the street and I see that group of black kids just take off in all different directions. So I'm like what the heck is going on. Then not even 5 sec later we all hear something fly past us (you know that sound when something goes past your head and you can hear it whistle?) so yeah the thing made that sound and then we hear it hit the grass behind us. So we now realize that those sound we heard were GUNSHOTS and one of the bullets flew right past us. So my first reaction was lets hop in the car and follow the cops and catch these dudes. So we did that. Then we realized that the shooting took place in our apartment complex parking lot and there are cars that have windows shattered from the bullets going through them. The kids we were playing ball with found the bullet and we ended up talking with the cops until like 10 pm and we are the main witnesses of this shooting. No one is dead and we aren't too sure if anyone even got hit. but yeah it was pretty gnarly. The cops told us they think the shooter is the guy who lives above us but they aren't too sure. I know that dude his name is buck. he seemed like a nice guy.
but this week has been awesome!
love you all and talk to you next week
