This week was really good. We found a lot of people to teach and I think we'll have some more bautismos.

We met two new investigators this week. It was really cool how we found them because we didn't have any citas and we were just contacting. We came across two friends outside and we started talking to them. They invited us to teach them right then which never happens. I found that normally they'll give us a time to come back but then we must go to the wrong house because they're not there. So when they invited us to teach I was super happy. We taught them and their son and daughter. They haven't progressed yet but we're super hopeful we can get them to come to church.

One thing I have learned here is that they treat us missionaries like kings. Even though the people are really good at evacuating streets when were contacting and keeping busy enough to miss citas, they give us a lot of respect. They feed us till we can't walk straight, they always give us rides, they buy filtered water just for us; when we need to use the bathroom and knock on a members door they think that the fact that we chose them to go to is a huge honor. It's super cool.

So on the big day when the Pope came my companion got sick. We worked a little during the day but then headed home early. I think it's a good thing too. It would of been miserable to be out all day. The streets were super empty. Everyone had all of their friends over and were watching the Pope give his address. I think if we wanted to we could have sat outside of any house and listed to what the Pope was saying but we had our Liahonas at our house so we heading back early.

Did you guys see my zone or the mission office? How's school going? Any cool experiences this week?Do you need help with Spanish class? 

Love y'all
Elder Nelson
