porque esta destruiendo mi vida?

hello all my beloved family members. how i miss thee.
so this week we had planned to set a baptismal date for germán, our eternal investigator. we needed the spirit really strong. we were sitting in his garden and we had sung and said the prayer already when i felt something warm and liquidy on my foot. i looked down and one of their 3 dogs was peeing on my foot. well seeing as we had already invited the spirit into the lesson i didn´t want to destroy it, so i kicked the dog away, took of my shoe and sock, and didn´t say a word about it until we had said the closing prayer. ah, the sacrifices we make in the mission.
this week president king invited my companion and i to leadership council to talk about working with the members. it was really cool to be a part of it cause it´s for zone leaders and the assistants, and i learned a lot, but i won´t lie, i decided i´m glad there aren´t sister missionaries as zone leaders. it was like 8 hours long.
we have these two investigators, Oscar, 11, and Olga his mom. We visited Olga on saturday and talked about the book of mormon. she told us her husband has a copy and when she tried to take it to read it he wouldn´t let her cause he reads it every chance he gets. we have no idea where he got it, we works out of his house 3 weeks every month then has 1 week at home so we´ve never met him. but it was really cool cause then when we gave her her own copy she asked how much it cost. when we explained that it´s value is priceless she was so excited she kissed it. so here is my spiritual thought for the week-treasure the book of mormon. President Ezra Taft Benson said it best: ¨there is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the straight and narrow path.¨
Next week is changes. I´m not sure how i feel to be honest. i´d like to go to a different area, but at the same time i feel like i´m just getting the hang of how to work in this ward. so if i end up staying here i won´t be all that sad and if i leave i won´t be all that sad. i hope everyone is happy and healthy. i love you more than words can express, but jesus loves you more.
mucho amor,
kjizzle to the russ

peace+love
