OK Gang Week 4

So quick rundown. I don't have much time to write, so busy today.
My companion and I got pulled over this week. Yes that's right. It was so unbelievable like oh no way why, cause we were late to pick up some people and it was dark and like we were not quite speeding. So the officer walks up and he is very kind and asks what we were doing, "oh we were teaching.”
"teaching?"
“yeah, we are the missionaries.”
"Oh I see, well the reason I pulled you over tonight is because........ (drumroll please) you didn't turn your headlights on.”
We were dying laughing the whole way home.  Piñeres really got us pulled over and we were way late and we got a big scare because he just forgot to turn on the lights. Oh well it was a really good story and the officer was very kind to us silly teenagers who were poopin their pants. Ok so we also have been teaching a lot and we have met some super awesome people and are just having a blast. We went to Costco for lunch one time and that reminded me of the good old times going out to lunch with the boys in High School. We have potentially 9 people who could get baptized by the end of the transfer and we're doing everything we can to help them feel the spirit and stay on the right path. Also my Spanish is getting a lot better and I even gave a quick little talk in our sacrament meeting yesterday which was like only two and a half minutes but quite a few people told me I did a good job afterward. I also made a joke about how if we have faith, God can make weak things strong, and that one day my Spanish can be strong. I got a couple people to chuckle. But that statement is very true, Ether 12:27, look it up, and if you don't have a Book of Mormon (which you definitely should) either ask your local missionaries for a copy, or look up that verse on google and it'll take you to it.

Funny thought: well there have been so many, like getting pulled over, or that four grown boys/men had a sleepover in celebration of Elder Evans (one of the missionaries from the other Companionship we live with) getting to go back to Chile, which was just them dragging their mattresses into our room. But the real funny thought is back at the Samaniego's house, again... last time it was Dylan, but this time their middle child Edward (maybe Eduard idk they’re from Mexico) got up and went to the bathroom in the middle of our lesson with them and went pee while the door was open. It was down the hall so we could not see him but boy you could definitely hear it. My companion and I had to pretend to not hear it but we died laughing about it in the car.

Well signing off, love you all, and sorry if I cannot respond to you all it’s been very busy.
