Oye!!!

So I've realized that I haven't shared much about our investigators lately so here's an update:

First we've got Patrick. I don't remember if i've mentioned him before but we've been teaching him ever since I got here. What happened was he got super busy and his school schedule changed so we couldn't find him for about 3 weeks but we found him available. We were able to talk to him and get him back on track. We set a baptismal date for August 4th which is a long ways out but he wanted that date because it's close to his birthday. We're gonna work hard so he's ready ready when August comes.

He's the only investigator we have with a date but we have some potentials. One is the Midence family. The dad is the only one that comes but we're trying to fix that. To be continued.....

We had another service project this week woot woot!!!! We helped our cook clean a Giant water tank. A lot of the people here have giant water tanks because there's a problem with water in this country in which the majority of the afternoon there isn't water so they have to fill up a tank if they want any water. The good thing is in our appartment is we live directly under the water tank. Anyways we washed the tank with bleach and soap because it had some gnarly smelling chemical. But that wasn't what took the longest time. After it was clean we had to fill it with water. Now this tank has a capacity of about 1,000 liters which is about 265 gallons......... Yeah a ton of water! Also to fill it you just connact a hose and leave it there to fill. Well problem was we didn't have a long enough hose to reach so we had to use 5 gallon buckets to fill the tank. I don't know why but they had a ton of buckets but not a single hose..... We ended filling the tank with 10 5-gallon buckets. 2 hours later the tank was full and ready to go. The good thing was we eat lunch in her house so when we finished we chillaxed a little and ate some lunch.

So I bought a cheap watch that tracks steps and distance and all that stuff and on Saturday we walked 15 kilometers or 9 miles. These feet of mine were destroyed!! 

Have a great week and enjoy celebrating America's birthday. Proud to be an American!!
