I wanna talk to you, and you only. I like you. I like the way you look.

 You look straight and not crooked like el diablo

This week has been full of weird experiences... I don't have a lot of time because we are currently sitting outside of a mall and we are on our way to the zoo. So if I don't write this now then I won't have time later... 

But transfer calls came this Saturday and I really thought I would be staying here in this branch to finish my mission but fun fact... I am leaving. And I am going back up north!!! I will be serving in the Plymouth branch which in fact is English but apparently there are a bunch of Hispanics and they have Hispanics coming to church so I am going there with an English missionary, Elder Paramore,  I will be translating sacrament every week and doing the Spanish work up there..  I am bummed to be leaving the White River Branch, they definitely took care of me here and I will be missing the Hispanic food. My companion right now, Elder Dalton, is also getting transferred out of here and he is going up north to the area right next to me. So we will see each other. And I will be able to go on exchanges with the zone leaders up there which is my old area so I will be seeing a lot of familiar faces.

Also I will not be the district leader anymore or the zone leader so now I will just be a regular missionary and honestly I am soo excited lol. I can just do the work and not worry about anyone except me and my companion.

Some funny things that happened this week is at 8:45 one night we were knocking doors and this big black dude opens the door and he was speaking Spanish to us acting like he would trick us so we couldn't talk to him and then we spoke to him and he was sooo thrown off but he spoke real good Spanish and he was just an average black dude from Florida but he said he has Mexicans in his family so he learned Spanish. But this guy was soooo drunk. Like bad. And he looked at me and he was standing like 6 inches from me at this point in the convo and he says, "I wanna talk to you, and you only. I like you. I like the way you look. You look straight and not crooked like el diablo." it was sooo funny and my comp was like what about me? And the guy was like "hold up, I'm talking to this man right here, hes not crooked like you" and then he let us in and he said we could come back... But it was very important that I was there because he wants to speak to me and me only but the return appointment is on Wednesday and me and my comp will be gone. So the new missionaries in the area are gunna get a treat. Lol

 Also some guy like 10 min ago came up to us in the mall and said he sees demons and he knew the building in France was gunna burn before it happened because one day he took his ring and he threw it on the ground and it turned into a fire breathing dragon and this demon dragon dude told him he was gunna burn it down and so he did research and came to the conclusion that this demon is named asamay (I think). Also this guy has been seeing bad spirits since he was 5. Also fun fact, there were 2 boys in the fire that helped out this demon dude but he doesn't know anything about it but he's gunna ask asamay this week who the boys are...

Man I'm gunna miss the city. I love the people here... But I'm going back to the corn fields and being in the country. But it's only because it's planting season so maybe I'll be able to drive a tractor again... Imma come back and be all hick... The Spanish speaking farmer is legit now. 

Well I probably should have spiritual stuff to share buuttttt we are out of time. And I don't want to do this later... Have a good week y'all. Know that I know the church is true... For all the non member on this email (I don't know how many there are) you better watch out once I get home I'm coming for you. Lol jk but the church is true... Try it out. All my in active friends....*cough cough*....Go to church, stop the drugs, I need you in the temple with me at my wedding in the future.
