Alright fellas this week was pretty uneventful other than we picked up Elder H. For the pranks that happened, yes he believed I was Brazilian for the first few days until I finally decided to tell him I wasn't; yes we gave him the backing vest and yes he is still wearing it thinking that he needs to until he gets "certified" which isn't a thing. To all my friends currently serving a mission, if your trainer has you doing something that doesn't make sense, it's probably because you don't have to actually do that. We also convinced him that certain words in Spanish meant other things and got him to say some pretty funny things. (I will not repeat the things that he said so don't ask). Elder H is from Montana which is sweet because that's where Sister H (friend from home) is and he lived super close to her (about an hour away from where she is currently at).
Other cool things that happened. We were teaching this guy P (he's literally the best) and as a fun introduction for lessons with Elder H, we helped P to decide to be baptized, so he's now working towards baptism on the 30th! Also, as Elder H's first lesson he had the wonderful encounter with a woman from another church seeking advice about how she can be a good missionary. Honestly the first time I've come across this but we taught a short lesson about faith and had a prayer but we've planned for the next time we meet with her to introduce Preach my Gospel which is like everything that we as missionaries teach. So we are about 95% sure that if she looks into that and starts reading it she will definitely make a better missionary and who knows maybe get baptized. Last thing is that I had the wonderful opportunity to teach M (friend from home) today which was super fun. I love this Gospel and I love being able to teach and help so many people, especially ones I care about. Love you all!
