This week had its ups and downs. The week started out with us doing splits. I teamed up with Elder A. Sousa to do some teaching and I got to meet some of his investigators. We were held up at one investigator´s house, because his brother (who had been drinking) insisted that we have something to eat. He sent his brother out to buy us coke, but then he found that we don´t drink coke (after he had already bought it), so he sent his brother out again to buy us other soda.
One exciting thing that happened was that we had a branch cake/pie baking competition and our investigators were the judges. Elder Swenson and I made a pie thingy, but something went wrong and it became ice cream and then soup, but it was still delicious.
One disapointing thing was that we found almost no one new to teach. We were doing a lot of tracting, but after hearing the message of the restoration no one wanted to change, which is the most frustrating part of missionary work.
When Sunday came around, we went to go get all of our investigators to go to church, but no one was home, other than this really awesome kid, Luciano. It turns out that he knows the branch president´s son. We have his baptism marked for the 12th.
Elder Swenson likes walking more than taking the bus, so last night we walked an hour and a half to an appointment and then another hour and a little bit home, but at least today is P-day.
With all the things that happened this week it means that miracles are around the corner.
Love,
Elder David Short
