February 16th Weekly Letter

Hey evryone just want you to know i love you all and miss you all like crazy! I d ont havem uch time. I am healthy and doing well. The work is a little tough right now. Its tough as we just got a new bishop. The old one  cheated on his wife becasue his wife cheated on him first, anyways its a messy situation and hard to work when everyone is less active because of that. 

Its hard being a zone leader because everyone looks to us for decisions and counsel. But its fun and i am learning a lot and am able to use my experience in the mission to apply to my leadership role so its not too hard but its stressful for sure. I will be speaking sunday for the 3rd time here in Roca. I am going to talk about unity of the barrio. 

Not too much has happened. We have seen tons of mircales. We give people card with our number on them. 2 people called us this week and are now investigadors. Our investigador jonathan overdosed on cocaine this wekk :( we have been visiting him in the hospital. He is totally fine but is in the mental health place. He put himself in there because he wants to change. He is lost but were trying to help. In the hosptial we got invited by a nurse lady to go see a boy who went crazy. This is hte 2nd time i have seen someone......crazy....or posessed i dont know what to call it. But he was tied down to the hospital bed....really crazy. He started talking to us and laughing like a craszy manand saying how he was the most powerful man in the world and stuff. I learned that we shouldnt talk to them like that or egg it on. So we just went in and ignored hte shinananigans and said like hey man we hope you feel better and well see ya later haha. We thought about giving him a blessing but we ended up not feeling likei t was ok to do so. 

ANother funny thing is that the last time we went to visit jonathan, he had a roomate who was a prisoner. He was handcuffed to the bed. He had an IV in and was getting surgery later in the day. But there wasa a cop with him as well. But he got up to go take tests or somehting in a nother room and the cop helped him up and then went to put hte handcuffs on hiom again and before he cuffed him he was examining his arm liike......hmmm. ¨where do i put it¨ im sure he was thinking because he had an UV in his arm. After a few funny seconds he just puts it right in his arm haha and the guy is like ÖUCH!¨ haha kinda weird stuff this week.

Well i love you all. I will be getting a new companion in a week! Have a greatt week! If your not already doing it set a goal to finish the book of mormon! That is hte key to getting to know christ better!
