Well how is everyone doing? Well its now officially summer time, and man its felt like summer time for sure here. It's been up into the 100's here this last week. Plus we didn't have a car!!!! Remember how i said it got hit a few weeks ago well they had to fix it this week. We were supposed to get it back this last Friday but they haven't gotten all the paper work done!! Ahh!! It's frustrating. We need a car to do missionary work in this are so it has been pretty darn hard we basically were in two apartment complexes all week. Plus we called the whole ward this last week and no one came out with us!! Hispanics work a lot during this time. Well just got good news the people just called and our car is done so we get to go and pick it up soon!! hooray!! So good news there. But it was so funny we would get to peoples houses and just be drenched in sweat so they like let us in because they felt bad. We took three showers a day and all of them were cold showers haha. Felt sooo nice.
Well everything is going great with Elder Dopp he is actually a way cool kid and we can just joke around a lot and have fun while working super hard. Its nice and we have taught together really well. We had a cool lesson this week that was super funny and spiritual at the same time. We went to go and teach this guy named Ruben he is an older guy from Mexico. We really wanted him to pray we taught him all we could about praying. Also he told me he wants to take me to Mexico to get a wife haha I was like sorry, can't!! haha he is a funny guy and he found out my name my real name so he wont call me Elder Smart now. But anyways he kept saying he couldn't pray he doesn't now enough he needs to learn more before he does it and we told him we were not leaving till he said the prayer. We honestly sat there Kneeling until he said the prayer for 30 minutes he finally said it and it was such a good prayer! Persistence pays off. We are going back to teach him tomorrow.
Well i hope everyone has a good week. I am going to re commit myself this week to be exactly obedient and jsut work hard. I really want to develop a christlike love for the investigators we are working with. Oh also we ahve been working with this family for a while now and yesterday they came to church!! it was so awesoem to see them there. You never know when popel willl come. Well love all of you guys hope everything goes well. Miss you all but there is no other place i would rather be. Be safe choose the right and the Book of Mormon is so true its blue.
love,
Elder Taylor Smart
