Ok so tbh not much happened this week so I'm gonna take advantage and explain my feelings up until this point.
But for the "large plates" of this week, I went on divisions two times this week. I went with Elder Granja, from Quito, Ecuador, and spent the day with him. It was chill. And then I went with Elder Pans, from Uruguay, and it was v chill also.
All our investigators lie to us. What's new? They always say they'll attend church but every time we go to their house they're sleeping.
Elder Salinas is great. He still always has to be right and the best at everything, even when he's wrong and not good at something, but I've gotten used to it and it's actually pretty funny to hear what he says. (Although it wasn't funny when we had to get off the bus but he said it wasn't our stop but actually it was and then he didn't listen to me and we ended getting super out of our way for like an hour. ughhh)
None of our investigators are progressing so we are still searching a ton for more. Last night we talked with a preacher man (and we are always contacting people with The Book of Mormon) and then he went off on how The Book of Mormon was written by man and not by God, and a bunch of other things that didn't really make sense but he hadn't even read The Book of Mormon so like he told us to study The Bible more but wouldn't even let us explain the why The Book of Mormon is different from The Bible (which we believe) but just as important. It honestly makes me sad. The people here just don't want anything from us. But like I just want to show the world that The Book of Mormon is so great!!!!! I will never NOT preach with The Book of Mormon. It's the evidence of our message to the world that God loves us. And that's why he gave us prophets. So they could teach us the gospel. And the gospel makes us happy. But it was lost and changed after Jesus and his apostles died. So God called Joesph Smith as a prophet to restore the gospel and the priesthood. And when we follow the gospel we are happy and able to return with God and our families. It's just so perfect.
So the mission is pretty great. My hymn appreciation level is at 10,000 right now. I'm now in Alma in The Book of Mormon. Learning a ton. Making new friends. Learning to navigate my way around a bigger city. Cleaning my room. Making my bed. I can kinda understand the people now. I'm not SUPER scared when I talk to strangers. I fasted and it wasn't even THAT hard.
Ok but that's about all I've got.
Love yall. Miss yall. But I'm happy to be here. The time's going fast but I'll make use of the 11 months left.

I was watching the "Teach repentance, baptize converts" video and I realized that Elder Anderson was flipping up gang signs. 2CHAINZ!
They gave us licenses to train but it's pure propaganda.
