Week 14 - November 14, 2016

Hola and hello from the good old Opelousas Louisiana!

So good news, the weather is finally cooled off!! It is getting into the 60's and it has finally rained. First time I have seen rain since I have been here. The cool weather makes it a lot more comfortable to go out and do things in mission clothes.

Next piece of good news. Elder Bean and I get a new car!! Ours is over 50,000 miles so they are getting a new car set up for us. The bad news with that is that we have used well over half of our miles all ready for this month.... Our only prospects are in Lafayette and that is a good amount of miles to get there.

So this past week we had a Zone Conference. Nothing too major happened at the conference but from now on, every Thursday is a solo bike day. No car just bike. That should help us with our miles for the month hopefully.

Yesterday Fransisco was conferred to the Aaronic Priesthood as a Priest! The elders quorum president is already pushing to give him the Melchizedek Priesthood because he wants him as one of his councilors!  It was really cool.

Also, yesterday we had a baptism for one of the kids of a part member family that always has us for dinner on Sundays. His name is Justin. He is 9. It was hard to get him to set a date because it is the middle of hunting season and he wanted to spend as much time hunting as possible but his mom and dad set a date and had him stick to it.

So the plan for this coming week is for Elder Bean and I to tract the only Hispanic trailer park that we know of. It is down in Lafayette. We are also planing to work with less-active members. He got a ward roster and have been looking for people on it that we think we should go and visit and get to know. So hopefully this next week sees us with a few new Spanish investigators and some other people that we can go see.

Well I don't have much else to say this week. Time to go play some pool and ping pong.

Have a great week y'all!!
