On Friday we had our district meeting
then we went out to eat at Boulevard Burger! These HUGE burgers for $1, they
were really good. Well also on Friday we met this guy and he was kind of
Racist. He said he wasn't but he defiantly was. He was saying things about me
too but don't worry I didn't do anything :) neither did my companion. In fact
we tried to be his friend and we shared the gospel to him and invited him to
church. Ha well he laughed and said no but we tried. There are some weird
people here in LA.
Okay Saturday was the sickest day ever!
Of coarse as usual we woke up, got ready, studied and went to Sinthia's house
to teach her. She's an investigator that we have been teaching for awhile. She
want's to be baptized but she can’t because she's kind of on Parole so she has
to wait. Anyways on with the day, we went to visit the Gytan family
(super less active) and we are working with them to reactivate again! We
went over and had some AMAZING tacos! Wow she can cook! They fasted
that day so we did too to help them out! They love it when we
come by! Ok so this is when it gets good. So then we went to a
member's wedding! They just got sealed in the temple so they were celebrating
it at the stake center! We walked in, sat down ate some amazing food,
of coarse, and the music was super loud! I wanted to dance soooo bad! I love
Spanish music I recommend it to everyone! Listen to some Aventura!! Ha-ha.
There was this kid there that had a hat on and some shades on the whole
time. He was probably like 14, 15 years old and wow, yaaaa I
recommend to NOT do that ever. Ha trust me. Well we were there for like 2 hours
and it was super fun! After that we went to this member’s 15 year party! We
helped set up the place so they invited us to come by. So we did for like 10
min, enough time to get in, get some food and get out. Ha-ha.
So we dropped the other missionaries
off at their house and we get back to our house. So we are inside relaxing and I
hear all this yelling outside! I look outside and there’s this truck in the
middle of the road and these 2 guys are yelling, swearing like crazy trying to
fight this guy in the truck. Everyone is out like chismosos (us too) watching
it and I see Andy, Jacob and Andre out there too. (They are the 3 kids we
teach every night, they live across the street) anyways they are there and
its there family member trying to fight so I wanted to get them out of there
but we can’t get involved in stuff like that. Long story short there was this
huge brawl and I remember Jacob was just yelling "Stop it, Stop it"
and man I wanted to help. The truck drove off and I walk outside when the police
came (because we called them) and Andy sees us so he runs over too me and I
asked him how he was doing and he just said "I’m scared" I felt so
bad they have to grow up in all this stuff. With gangs, violence, drugs, bad
examples. I feel for them and I want to help them out so bad! But ya, that was
my crazy Saturday! I almost felt like I was living the normal
life again. Ha-ha think about it 2 parties and a fight at the end in one
night?
Sunday was good too! I kind of love
going to church now. The families are super cool! We broke our fast at the
Gytans family again and the food was incredible! Some Mexican ceviche puro
pescado! :) Wow! The Hermana can cook! Ha-ha well anyways we went to visit a
lot of less actives to just set return appointments and we did get some so that
was good. Another interesting night to end on though. We were just sitting
outside and these two guys come over, around our age I’m guessing, all tatted
up and just super high and they were just asking us all these questions. Well
they don't believe in God. They think we are dumb for not partying and smoking
drugs but something cool was that they are coming back on Wed. to try out what
we have to offer. We convinced them to just "try" it out and if it
doesn't work then we are wrong. They accepted and we will be teaching them from
the next couple of weeks hopefully! The spirit will help us out!
Well that was my week and it was good!
Today we are finally going to hike to the HOLLYWOOD sign and I’m super
pumped! The Book Mormon is true! Stay faithful my friends :) love you
all!
Con
Mucho Amor, Elder Puertas
