"Not while I'm smoking"

 Cómo estáis?

We met a young women named Becky, kind of an awkward first couple seconds cause we made eye contact and she was smoking. And then we ended up saying something like want to learn about Jesus Christ. She said,"not while I'm smoking." So she stopped smoking long enough for us to say a prayer. :))

Esta semana:

- We had Zone Conference on Tuesday and the focuses for this transfer are: faith, HTBT, and teaching prayer. President also gave a fire talk about locking your heart and somehow compared sexual desires to riding a horse, bareback, in the Yukon.  

- We packed about 15 lamb legs at service. Those things are freaking clubs and I would feel confident taking on Goliath with one of those.  

- We also got 4 blueberry pies at service. Needless to say that has been breakfast, lunch and dinner for the past several days.  

- I went on my first 24-hr exchange with my District Leader, E.Nelson. Super funny dude and I got humbled for sure. 

- We found a lot of people to teach this week, thanks to warmer weather.  

- We also asked these two younger guys if they wanted to hear about Christ and they said,"Nah we good. We just gonna go smoke some weed." Happens perhaps too often.  

- Tiger. We had the craziest contact with this man we met on the street. We talked about God, Michael the Arc angel, weed, purple drugs, terminator, Hawaii and his dog tiger. Buddy was trying to tell us that he hates his dog but gets mad when other people yell at his dog. It was such a mess and it was like 40 min haha.  

This week we stopped teaching A LOT of people. We are teaching about 4 people consistently. Lots of people just aren't ready to keep commitments or give their time to the Lord, so we let them know we are here when they want to learn. Kind of sad, but it is what it is. Turns out, that big family that we were teaching a bit ago are actually some members. Which is pretty funny but low-key makes sense. We met this amazing single young mother, Marlenis, who has one kid. But she is willing to learn and change which is so cool to see. We met another man, Marino, who was just chilling outside who said he was looking for a church to help teacg his young daughter about Christ. That was a miracle for sure. 

I learned that however hard it is to take criticism or suggestions from people, to be more Christlike means to be humble and accept that you are wrong. Then change. And that is hard.
