Investigator Trust

     So what a poopy week. Not as in bad but lots of poop things happened. First elder Ogzewalla stepped in poop and he was so worried about it getting on his pants he tried to scrape it off with a stick. Well somehow he ended up bending the stick back and then it went and flung poop on his pants anyways. I thought it was pretty darn funny. Luckily we were right close to the house and he just went and changed. Then Sunday morning my stomach was super unhappy and I went poop like 5 times in an hour. Not fun but I lived. Turns out though one of our investigators also was having stomach problems and he told us he had a little accident last night.... So yeah at least he trusts us enough to tell us about his life I guess. My week was pretty good though. We have still just been finding and finding trying to build up some teaching pools. It has gotten better though. Last week we only had 1 investigator who was progressing but now I think we have about 3 or 4 that have some good potential. We had this pretty fun experience with a guy who everybody calls the general. So we are just out finding and he comes up behind us and yells "mormons slow down." So we wait for him and talk to him a bit. He was pretty darn drunk but was also insistent on us coming to his house to teach him. We of course go. His house was super super nice and it just had a ton of teenagers hanging out in it. (all friends of his daughter) anyways he sits us down and asks us to teach him but every time we start he stops us with something or another. Like the first time somebody brings us out a ton of food and tells us to eat. Then we try to start again and he starts yelling at his daughter to sit down and listen. and then we try again and he says you are just young let me teach you the gospel. pretty great huh? Anyways all through this he is also telling us about his time in the army and how he had to trust God. After we finish the food he brought us we tell him we need to go and he wants to drive us to where ever we are going. Well he is drunk as a skunk so that's not happening. He walks out with us to the street where his car is and we have to tell him it is against the rules for us to go in cars. He says okay gets in a drives away. Hopefully he is alright. As soon as he leaves we just start laughing though. He just said some super funny things.  I'm getting used to my area and starting to learn it pretty well.  I love teaching the restoration just because we teach it so much and I can usually find all the words I want to say. We work with members when they are available because they are just a huge help for us and the investigator. I hope you are enjoying the winter for me it has been pretty hot here the last couple of days.

     There is fruit and we always try and cut up some veggies to go in our dinner every night so we are at least kinda healthy. . The members here love white missionaries so we always have somebody to eat lunch with on Sunday and then sometimes a few other places throughout the week. We ride a jeepney every time we go to centro so on Mondays and Fridays.
