Poco Enfermo

Hello everyone! This week flew by honestly and it's kinda sad because we only have one week left in the transfer and my comp and I get along very well so it will be sad to see one of us go. (Not for sure, but most likely) Anyways this week has been an adventure. 

First off when we were walking to try and contact some people we saw these kids playing baseball in the corner of this neighborhood on a really beat up field. It was AWESOME. They had one baseball and every time they hit it they had to chase it down in order to pitch it again. I told them all that my family loves the Cubs and the MLB. They then asked if I knew a bunch of MLB players and were impressed that I did. So shout out Dad and Carter for being MLB fanatics. I did play a little baseball with them and obviously I was unreal... but I think I'll stick to golf ;)

We had an exchange this week and it was actually amazing. The Elder who came to my area has only been out for 2 more transfers then me so his Spanish isn't great. We taught 3 full lessons and contacted 12 people. It was a super good day. I learned 100% that the gift of tongues and Interpretation of tongues is real. The amount I understood and could say was unlike anything else these past 5 weeks. 

2 crazy stories this week. Both have to do with my companion. First one time last week when we were teaching our favorite person Angelica some random old guy walked up to me and grabbed my hand and started to pop my fingers very aggressively. I didn't enjoy it. Then he popped my ears and I was like oh boy so I hurry and stopped him and told him that my comp wanted his fingers popped too. Sorry Fuhriman. So the guy went over popped his fingers and ears and then tried to pop his neck. The homie had to have been drunk or high because we were saying no to the neck and he had my comp in a full head lock and I was being immature losing my mind laughing and then he stopped asked for money so I gave him 5 pesos which is like nothing and then he left. Second story. After the exchange we took a Concho back to our house. Well Elder Fuhriman had his carry on with his things for the exchange and put them in the trunk. When we got out for our house the guy drove away and 3 mins later we realized his carry on was still in the car. It had his Journal, Preach my Gospel, and some other things that mean a lot to him. We have been searching and praying like crazy to find this bag. We are gonna have to take some time out of our day today to go and find it hopefully!

As far as the work goes, it is rough right now. We have Angelica and she is amazing!! She will be baptized this Saturday and we can't wait. Pray for her. We also are teaching this girl named Charlenda and she told us yesterday she has doubts about the Book of Mormon. We then gave her one and said the only way to know if it's true is by reading it. We hope she does. Other then that we have like nobody else progressing or even letting us in the door. They all are just middle aged women on the street that are drunk and love my comp which is clutch cause they're gross haha. Pray for us to have some success this week please! 

Lastly I finished the Book of Mormon for the 2nd time and I know for a fact that book is true. I already started it again and I just love it. I challenge all of you to not just read but study the words in the book. It truly is the key to a better life. I know this for a fact. I love you guys all so much and think and pray for y'all daily. La Iglesia es verdadera!
