Reading, Week 2

Hey how is everyone doing?! Happy Valentines day to everyone. This is a special day of love and its a good day to love all of my investigators that we are teaching, it's a great opportunity to be out here. But most of all I love all of you guys! Hope you all have a great day today! Miss you all but wouldn't be anywhere else in the world than here.

Well this week we were super successful and had good number. But numbers don't matter anyways but if it they did, we would probably be in the highest number area. I am very fortunate to start out here and learn right off the bat and be successful. Just for example we taught 32 total lessons this week 2 baptisms, and 118 contacts we worked really hard. We are very fortunate because in any other area they are lucky to get half the numbers. But like i said numbers mean absolutely nothing. We also have, i think, four or five more baptismal dates but none of them showed at church yesterday so we will have to straighten that out.

Man i get fed soooooooo much here it's WAY more than i can handle. For example, on this last Friday we ate 3 big meals in like 2 hours. We were on our way home and decided to stop by a recent converts house, Martha. So she made sooo much food we ate this cheese, eggs, salami, and tostones(which are fried bananas they love it here) its a Dominican thing. Then we had a appointment with a less active member, Ana P. This is 10 minutes after we ate she fed us rice, chicken, and Flan. Then we went to a active members house Talavera's and ate lasagna and rice. Ya i could not finish that i was so dang sick, i wanted to throw up right on the spot. It was crazy. But on average, we get fed about 2 times a day here. EWW i had rice with octopus and all this sea food in it, it was very interesting and hard to eat.

But enough of the food. I really do have like the best trainer. He is so good! I keep trying to be like him. He shows me so many things that i need to work on and to be a better teacher and a better person. The only fault he has is us waking up at 6:00, haha. By the end of the day i am dead tired and just cant wait to get into bed. But it's all good. He is a good Elder. But i love trying to help people come unto Christ. We have two more investigators that we feel they are ready to give them a baptismal date.

Well that's probably all for this week all we did was eat and teach gotta love it.

LOVE YOU ALL
