hey all you people on the other side of the world!! this week was SO much better for elder balcazar and i. lemme explain.
so we had the chance to fast this week. when i started my fast, i really wanted to focus in on finding new people to teach in our area because these past weeks, we havent found a lot of people to teach....so i started, went through the whole day SUFFERING THE DEATH RAYS OF THE SUN, and then i ended the fast. THAT SAME DAY I ENDED THE FAST, we found three new people to teach! and it was the coolest thing in the whole world! they were all hatians sure, but they all speak incredible spanish and they all have such large desires to find the truth! their names are robinson, Francia and Caesar. they all live in different houses, but they are the coolest people. they all were like," ok i want to find the truth. i am going to read all my homeworks, i am going to come to church, and i am going to pray my brains out so that i can see if this is the true church or not!" we are literally so excited to work with them! one of the funny things that happened this week was with the hermanas in our ward, we went to a blind guys house to help him clean a little around. he had blood in his fingers and his clothes were all stained and stuff, so he just didnt look that great an we wanted to help him a little. so we showed up to his house and we cut come trees in his front yard, we picked up all the trash that was around and then we were like "hey do you by chance have a broom and pan so we can sweep your front lawn?" "ya sure come on in and look for it i dont know where i left it! haha!" im not even kidding you it was a murder house in there. there were dead cats all over the floor, there was a mass of organic matter in the back room and it had maggots and flies and larva all in it, there were dead dogs and trash and fecal matter and oh my goodness. the hermanas ran out screaming, and i threw up outside on the side of the street. he was like "ya it smells kind of bad but thats why you are hear to clean! hahaha!" we told him straight up we were like,"um there is no way IN THIS LIFE we are cleaning that house of yours because if we do we are seriously going to get ebola or something" he got all mad at us because we said that we were going to clean for him and then rejected him but we told him again "we cant be breathing the black plague while we clean your house, so instead, we are going to call some people that are going to professionally clean this mess, and take care of you!" then we and the hermanas ran away as fast as we could. we felt bad afterwards, but i dont want to be breathing dead cat and fecal matter air, no sir! well i have to go though. this next week, i will have four more months until i go home! thats literally so psycho i cant breathe!! so close until i come home! june 10th people...ill be flying in to John Wayne airport! love all of you so much! ekw
