Another week went by and I still haven't figured out a good way to
start out my emails but here is what happened.

We had some more people move into the the ward and that is really good
because a lot of members are moving out and the ward is becoming
smaller and smaller, this week we had a family move in from Mesa, they
have lived in AZ for a while but decided to move out here for some
reason that I don't know, so that was pretty fun to talk to them,
unfortunately they didn't come to church, probably because they are
still settling in so we'll give them another week.

Later that same day we had a whole bunch of rain along with a tornado
warning, it was crazy! When I was driving the rain was coming down so
hard that I couldn't even see where I was going, there was so much
water that some streets were flooded and we have a little car but we
were still able to make it through, I think I have a video of the
rain, it doesn't look that bad in the video but in real life it was
crazy, the sister didn't even go out haha.

On Sunday I somehow was put in charge of translating the sacrament
meeting and that was a train wreck haha, usually we have Brother
Santos translate but he didn't want to do it and Elder Hinckley was
playing the organ so I got stuck translating and that was really hard,
especially on fast and testimony meeting, the people were speaking so
fast and they used really hard words that I didn't know how to say in
Spanish so I had to do some improvising, I was pretty much making
stuff up in order to keep up with the speakers haha.

On Monday we literally had nothing, the white missionary handbook says
that holidays are best time to go out and teach people because they
are with there families, that's the biggest lie ever, nobody wants to
be bothers by the missionaries on those days, but we still went out
and like the first couple of doors we just got yelled at hardcore, so
we were like let's just go to Brother Goolcharans house (ward mission
leader) and help him set up for the party, so we did that and the
party was awesome except we couldn't get any of our investigators to
come, they were either working or doing other stuff, but after this
party we went and watched fireworks and that was also pretty cool.
Monday was basically a pday because we didn't really do much at all.

Yesterday we had a solid day to make up for the work we didn't do on
Monday, we taught like 6 lessons and got a new investigator named
Carlos, he was actually a Bible media referral, he told us that he was
atheist before but he had some experiences in his life that made him
want to learn more about God and Jesus and so we gave him a bible and
scheduled a return appointment for Saturday, Carlos seemed very humble
and he was really nice as well so we are excited to teach him,
hopefully we can set a baptismal date with him, that would be
awesome!!

Have a awesome day!😀

Love,
Elder Pugmire
