Alright, so this week was kind of like a Spurs game, coached by Gregg Popavich. And good ol´ Pop decided to rest his whole starting lineup. So even though we won and it was a good week (because the Spurs always win) it was kind of boring with not many highlights. I mean who likes to watch all of the bench players play? So yeah this week had a few highlights and was still good overall, but I did get a little sick. I have been congested all week and have had a constant headache but I have survived and am starting to feel better today. But I am defintiely excited that it is finally December and Christmas is right around the corner!! I can´t believe it!!!! Time is flying by and I can´t believe that this time next year I will already be home!!
So I am pretty excited for a few things that happened this week. One is that Joaquin is progressing great!! When we went back for the return appointment this week he had already read up to 1 Nephi 10 in the Book of Mormon and in just one day after that he read up to chapter 15! I am super excited for him, he is super smart and understands everything we teach him and will continue to work hard with him. The Lopez family is also doing good, they continue to progress, strengthen their testimony, and love our visits. The members of our ward are really starting to help us a lot too by bringing friends to church and we have done a good job of earning their trust. So the work moves on!!!
We also had some really successful divisions this week with Elder Neil, some intense chess games, helping members set up their Christmas tress (Yay!), and we just got back from going bowling. I got 113 and I am pretty proud of myself. I would also like to share a funny story that will also help to explain the title of my email. This week we had English classes with a guy named Gonzalo. We go there every week and help him since he has about 15 students and he does a really great job to teaching them. They always love it when we come because we help them practice and make it funny. So this week Gonzalo had some scenarios that we had to practice and act out in English. We each had our own group and had to practice our scenario before presenting it in front of the whole class. For our group we were assigned a pretty funny act. I was the principal at a school and found Marijuana in a kids backpack. I had to call the parents in and figure out what had happened and it was pretty funny. So yeah that was about the highlight of my week.
This week I am also pretty grateful that I didn´t get the stomach flu. One night Elder Boynton and I went out for tacos, I ate 10 and he ate 5. All night long he was puking his guts out but nothing happened to me. So I either have a very high immune system right now, or I am just blessed. Still going harder than ever in the gym though and it feels great! I also am getting pretty good at chess and playing plenty of basketball as well. So I am happy! Happy Holidays, hope you guys are starting to get some snow now and getting ready for Christmas!! Love and miss you all tons!
