WEEK 77
This was a super good week. Here are the highlights —
- INTERCAMBIOS
This week I got to go on 2 sets of exchanges. I stayed in my area both times which was super nice cuz that meant we got to work a lot. I was first with Elder Matute. He's from Honduras and he's a stud of a missionary. Learned a ton with him. Then I was with Elder Bailey, which was super cool. He's struggling a bit and I'm glad I got to help him learn a bit more about the mission.

- STAKE CHRISTMAS PARTY
On Friday night, we had a stake Christmas party. It was just a bunch of people dancing and playing music. It was super cool cuz all the kids in the stake know how to dance and they taught me how to. Also, our zone sang twice. The first time we sounded insane, prolly better than the Tabernacle Choir. But then the 2nd time was a surprise and we had no time to practice. We sounded like absolute crap, but you can't really blame us cuz we definitely aren't professionals. After, we got a bunch of KFC so it was all worth it.

- SATURDAY
On Saturday, I almost got in a fight with a taxi driver. We were walking at like 9 pm and a taxi pulls up in front of a taco shop by us, the driver gets out and then pulls a passenger out of the car. The passenger had to be over 60 years old. The taxi driver then proceeds to hit him like 3 times until he falls to the ground and then he kicks him. And the man's grandkids are in the car screaming and crying. So then I yelled "HEY" from across the street and the taxi driver leaves the man and starts walking towards me. So obviously without thinking, I start walking towards him, staring him down. I don't like bullies. Then some members who were in the taco shop came between us and stopped me and the taxi driver. Then the police came and we got tacos. Prolly one of the most Mexican things I've seen.

- WARD BOUNDARY CHANGES
On Sunday, all the wards in our stake changed boundaries and then we added another ward. They took like 3/4 of our ward, so now it's only like 80 people. It's gonna be so nice cuz now I can remember everyone's name and help all of the less-actives come to church. Also, all the people we had progressing and 3 of the people we had on date for baptism are now in different wards. So now I'll get to see them get baptized in another ward.

- DRIVE HOME
Alright, then at like 9 pm on Sunday, we got a ride home from a member after the meeting. There were like 12 of us that fit in the back of his mini van cuz they had taken out all of the seats. I had my back leaned up against one of the doors. When we were on the freeway, we hit a pothole and the door I was leaning against swung wide open. Luckily I was holding onto the back of the driver's seat, but right when it opened, like half of the people jumped over and grabbed me. We had to tape the door shut from the outside with duct tape cuz it broke. The rest of the ride, no one sat even close to that door.

Anyways, I hope your week was as good as mine!
