'Nother One Down

I´ve tried diving into this thing. it´s so so tough. i can tell my comp is getting frustrated that i can´t help as much as i want. ugh i got a testimoney. i know the doctrine!  I just can say it. yup really really tough. but i can´t deny the wonderful Spirit that comes when i give everything i got to tell my testimoney. My investigators are just so perfect and so patient with me. we had four baptisms planned this week but they all fell through. it was quite a blow. but they´re all reschedualed and so we´ll see  how this time around goes. O thing about the culture i forgot. there´s grafity everywhere. some of it is of course pretty freakin´ cool but where i live and work is like the place they all practiced before they got good or something. also there´s american music everywhere. its just as popular as the latin stuff. its funny cuz they don´t know the words. they just kinda make noises that sound like english (only during the verses though, they sound pretty good at the chorus) haha probably what we sound like when we´re trying to sing spanish songs right? K so hilarious story. I´ve been trying so hard to just be out going and contacting everyone. Well i went up to someone gave them a pass along and did my spill that i always do. when the contact was done and we started walking again Elder Cortés was just smiling and giggling to himself. when i asked what was up he explained that they guy i just contacted was the member that we had lunch with that day. haha yup totally spaced it and didn´t recognize him. Yup so lot´s of contacting. just trying to spread the gosple here. one house we went into was so so cold. it was a single mother raising two children. she was a reference so we went by and "knocked" all last week and nothing. but she was finally home this time and she was so so happy to see us. don´t really know what was going on the whole time but she was crying and the spirit was so strong there. i tried my best to give a testimoney of  how we´re never alone in our trials. her name is Pobla. She seriously was just so hapy to see us. like we came just in time. Spiritual Coast Gaurds right? haha sorry its hard to tell stories cuz half the time i had no idea what was going on. All I remember is feelings. Haha yeah kinda hard to describe in a letter. I´m really hopin´ these letters get better too and i eventually sound more myself again. i´m just in such a shock right now. can´t believe i´m hear and i´m doing this. Hara for Israel.
