Cock fights 😅

 There was a lot that happened this week but most of it doesn't apply to the legacy of Lebron James or Dez Bryant so I won't include it all.

Elder Kershaw (terrorizing the streets of Chile) said something of great wisdom last week. He said "In a couple years we will miss being poor and hot in the hood. So we should try and enjoy it before its too late. Yippe!!!" What a man. And what a true statement. I found myself awake at 2 am this past thursday. 85 degrees in the apartment. Had pulled a cockroach off my face for the third time that night. I sat up, kinda in the dumps. On the verge of tears I started laughing. I kinda realized that nights like that, or coming home from a long day covered in dust head to toe and not having water to shower are the things that absolutely suck in the moment, but that I will laugh about in 20, 30, 50 years from now. I find great joy in the mission. I am very happy here. I'll be the first to admit that it is though. However, it is in reality a very simple life. I will greatly miss the simplicity of waking up every day and teaching incredible people the gospel. 

It's always fun to have lunch with the whole district. You pick your seat at the table, and out come 6 bowls of soup. You can be the lucky one and get the chicken breast in your soup. Or you can get blessed with some testicals, heart, or intenstines. The only one I have a really hard time eating is the feet. I'm personally not a fan of fighting against some toenails to pull off a little piece of meat (skin).

It's always sad when we eat gallo (rooster) for dinner for a few reasons. One, rooster is way worse than chicken. Two, that usually means one of the pensionistas brothers cocks lost their fight that day 😞🐓🕊 Rip lil homie. Sometimes if a few loose we get a lot of food. Lol.

We have a family of 5 that is progressing well. A mom and 4 kids. 2 of them could have the priesthood so that would be huge for the branch. The kids are all there, but the mom says she wants God to "touch her heart." We've been really trying to get her to recognize the spirit and realize that she probably won't see an angel, but that God will touch her heart little by little. They're a great little family, and I really hope they work out. 

Dope verses👍👍

27 Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success. 

29 And we have entered into their houses and taught them, and we have taught them in their streets; yea, and we have taught them upon their hills; and we have also entered into their temples and their synagogues and taught them; and we have been cast out, and mocked, and spit upon, and smote upon our cheeks; and we have been stoned

30 And we have suffered all manner of afflictions, and all this, that perhaps we might be the means of saving some soul; and we supposed that our joy would be full if perhaps we could be the means of saving some. 

31 Now behold, we can look forth and see the fruits of our labors; and are they few? I say unto you, Nay, they are many

Love you guys, have a splendid week and spectacular thanksgiving
