July 13th


Mom,
Man, your eye is grosser than gross. Might as well just go for the glass eye or keep your glasses on. Just kidding, don't take it personal. Also you don't have to reserve my number for me, I can't remember it was first of all and new things are always good - assuming its an upgrade. The phone I did have though, did you save the pictures on there before you got rid of it?
So there was no baptism on Saturday, it has been scheduled for this Saturday and it should happen. He's the man, the only thing holding him back at this point is talk of his parents coming to see it from Idaho... hopefully they don't cause any delays.
pulled muscles can be slow, you just gotta keep it stretched and give it easy exercise that doesn't make it super tired.
Miracle story to end off the email: on June 27th a stranger, known as Audelio, came to church unknown to anybody in the branch. So obviously we asked him where he lives so we could teach him. He didn't go very specific, he just said it was straight up the road north of the Church. Come to find out, The road goes through and orchard and then forks after passing three houses. We went searching for him on 7/4 and after 20 minutes of search we talked to a guy cooking some chicken outside of a garage, which in the back has a mini apartment thingy, that is probably a little smaller than my room at home. It is made of pure cement and hotter than hot. We talked to him, Ramon and found out that he lives with some people there, including Audelio, so we were happy. We taught Ramon and things went pretty average, inviting him to read a chapter we left from the BoM. On 7/11 we went back and talked to Ramon again, this time Audelio was there but I don't think he was listening very good, doubt he could hear us over his loud snores of his drunken slumber. So we talked to Ramon who told us without doubt he would be to church the next day which was good news. So we start teaching, he's humbly accepting everything.
