So this week was like the hangover after the super crazy,
fun, and fast moving last week. We had to drop about half of our investigators
for not keeping commitments and not progressing so that sucked. We tried every
day this week to find new people but didn't get very far. Pretty dang tough...
but not all bad.
We didn't have changes so we were really happy about that!
My comp has a chess set and we started playing a game every
night before bed... super fun because we are always insulting each other all
day calling each other dumb and stuff (just jokingly- he really is awesome and
it's just fun to make fun of each other) and now we finally have a way to
determine who is smarter. hahaha
Last p day we found out that this volcano is within our
cities limits and got permission to go with this super awesome inactive guy who
has a cousin with a car! Half way up the road the car started to jerk pretty
bad... he just slowed down and kept going and then the jerking got really bad
and smoke started to come out of the hood. He pulled the emergency break and we
all bailed as fast as we could! He grabbed the fire extinguisher he had on the
dashboard (now that i think about it- entering a car that carries a fire
extinguisher on the dashboard was probably stupid haha) and tried to put out
the fire in the engine... but the extinguisher didn't work so we sprinted to the
side of the road, grabbed handfuls of dirt and were able to put it out pretty
quickly with that. hahaha
In the end we never got to see the volcano and ended up hitchhiking
our way back into town... but it was an awesome adventure.
Halloween we did nothing different. The church of Toby (ex
Mormon who served a mission in Guatemala, was bishop then stake president, but
then got excommunicated for stealing tons of tithing money and went and became
a leader of this other church and now is one of the richest most powerful
men in El Salvador who half the country practically worships) had a party
in the park. But other than that, it was normal... Day of the dead was a little
bigger. Everyone went to the graveyards to put flowers on the graves of their
family members, but we just kinda walked around all day having nobody to visit
because they were all at the cemetery.
Overall I'm doing good! Thanks for all the emails and support
Love, Elder Davis
