So this week was really good but spiritual and fun. Not that spiritual stuff isn´t fun but it was good.

Last Monday was so funny. After writing we went to the health center with the other Elders in search of a nurse, who was a contact. So we are walking there I was with E. Wilson and our companions were together. We entered the building first and then the others came in but the building is a bit funky. It has a glass Wall in front that looks like one of the really professional doors that they have in hospitals but we are in Ascensión so it´s not a door it´s just a Wall. Then on the side there is a door. So we went in and our companions were too busy talking that they didn´t see us go in the door on the side. So they saw us on the other side of the glass and thought it was the door. They tried going through and were really confused how we got through and why the door wasn´t opening. It was really funny. I almost died laughing but I was in the hospital so I didn’t die.

Ok spiritual; so we have two families that are really cool that I have a lot of fondness (thank you google translate) for them. One is Guerrero and his family. They always pay a lot of attention and they actually understand. We taught them the Word of wisdom and they started telling us why coffee and tea was bad. It was really cool. They understood everything really well.

The other family is Virgilio and his family (it´s funny because Virgilio is from Guerrero but Guerrero isn´t from Virgilio). They are super cool. They are the ones who speak Mixteco. We are in the process of marrying them. They are Lamanites so they never really did the paperwork. Sometimes with them I feel like a licenciado, like a White collared, I don´t know it’s like a lawyer. So I feel like a lawyer because I make a bunch of calls to a bunch of people in the city council trying to fill out paperwork. I’m just missing a medical test that we’ll do Saturday and then the wedding the 1 of Dec. I’m really excited for them. The other Elder had a baptism so Virgilio was able to go to that and the church on Sunday.

We had a really weird situation this week. we knocked a few doors in the night to contact. We knocked a door and this old guy interrupts our “We’re missionaries from..” and said “come in come in.” So we went in and taught to the two really old people and we were like do you know who we are? Nope. Do you know what church we are from? Nope. I was like Stranger Danger right. I guess they just wanted a spiritual message about Jesús. I was a Little confused but it was good.

So here in La Chona we’re 4 missionaries. I’m training and in the other area Elder Wilson is also training. So our two sons remind me a lot of Tanner and Price. My companion is Tanner and the other is Price. So Tanner is from Colombia and well Price is Mexican. So Tanner will say something like cógelo which is a bad Word in Mexico but in Colombia it’s pick it up. So Price starts complaining to Tanner that he needs to learn Spanish. Sometimes E Wilson and I only sit there and laugh because of how silly their fights are. Yesterday I could only laugh because Tanner was trying to kick Price out of the house because he was eating a donut and some crumbs fell and he kept stepping on it. Then Price started teaching Tanner piano by doing a do ray me but with ah ah a a a ah a ah. I looked like they were monkeys. It´s really funny. They always crack me up.

Well we start a new cycle this week. They never called me even though I stayed up until 11:30 waiting so I don´t think that I have transfers.

Have a great week, Happy birthday to Mindy, Marshall and Dad and Tanner too because I know that it´ll slip pass me. Keep up the great work preaching to your friends. Help the missionaries.

Love,
Elder Nelson
