drunk guy tried to kiss me #awkward


 Hey guys I'm not dead but the room in the church with the computer has been stuck closed for like two weeks so I can't write on a computer so you're about to get some big stories very condensed:


- Don't shake hands with a drunk dude. He might missinterprete your intentions and try and kiss your hand. Also probably don't touch a drunk dude at all he probably hasn't showered or washed his hands in a while.

- Me and my comp visited some newlyweds and gave them a 3liter bottle of coke as a wedding present, and they gave us wedding cake.

- A family tried to offer us their daughters as wives but I didn't understand what he said and all I saw was that the dad brought his kids into the room so I shared a scripture and bore my testimony. Sometimes the gift of tongues bleeps out stuff to accomplish it's purpose.

- God helped me miraculously easily do way more pushups then I possibly couldve done on my own for the sake of a lesson. Note to self: 9 people times 10 pushups = way too many unless you get some help from the guy who made your body.

- I drank and ate a coconut and it was way too cool.

- I got a new companion and now I gotta teach him this área even though I've only been in the country for 5 weeks. We haven't gotten stranded yet. Time to trust the heck out of the guidance of the spirit.

- We helped a 60 something yr old Patriarch build a roof. He measured trees in the respectible unit of measurement: machete. He cut a few beams 4 1/4 machetes long. That was really fun.

- People here still have seen twilight. I've now been called Jacob, Yacob, and Elder Lautner by members.

- I pet a dog and then he threw up on my shoe

I'll write more when I got a computer but for now ADIOSSSS

Everyone I Know Is About To Die

  WazAp Return to El Trébol This week I went on exchanges with my dad Elder Hales. That on its own would be pretty whack. BUT they also moved the AP's area to El Trébol, so not only I was I with my first companion for a day, but we were in my first area where I got trained with him too. That was super crazy. It was crazy to see how much people's lives had changed in a few months. There was a different bishop and elders quorum president, my old friend Kelvin had best friends in the ward now, I got to go back and find some old investigators that had been positive and help the new Elders start teaching some of them again. We also ran into that one super old guy I helped build a fence for forever ago, and he ended up inviting us in to talk and share a message with him. (We're still on the same topic but it kinda needed a new title) Another crazy moment that day was seeing my friend Alex.(picture below) We found this 19yr old dude back in the day just knocking doors, and when we

  Wazaaaaaap Update on life here: I'm about to complete 14 months in the mission. Three days ago I got transferred to the area Casa Blanca, where I got my new companion Elder Harward, who also just got to the area at the same time as me too. He's really great, he's from Rexburg Idaho/Provo Utah. Another cool thing is this is his first time being zone leader, and he has the exact same amount of time I had when I became one too. It's been a little crazy with both of us being new to the area, but we both have an eye of faith looking forward to good things to come. Probably for this email, I'll mostly just finish up some stories I never wrote from when I was in El Congo Waterphobia I know i've talked to my family when I call about the Lemus family, but I don't know if i've ever written about them here. But to make a long epic backstory short, the Lemus family was found when we knocked on a random door on our way out of a tiny colony in a corn field, and it e

My Journal for the last month. Wedding, baptisms, and Cockroaches

I really haven't had a lot of time to journal in the past weeks, so this email is kind of going to be my opportunity to journal down the most meaningful things for me in the last month while I have a computer for a few hours. Enjoy! Carlos and Sarai I think I told you guys about how on our 2nd day here we found a crazy guy on the street named Edwin who brought us over to his family. Well now we've found that his sister Roxanna is an inactive church member who was baptised when she was about 15, and stopped going when her daughter was born. She was converted when she was given a Book of Mormon and chose to try and read it even though she didn't know how to read before. But with that book Roxanna not only learned how to read, but she felt the spirit testify to her heart and mind the truthfulness of the gospel and was baptised!            Well anyways that was like 30 years ago, but now when we found her family thanks to Edwin, we started meeting with Roxanna's daughter, S
