This week we contacted. I don't know if we contacted more than last week or the same, but we contacted tons. It is super hard to find people that actually progress and read and are at home when we have our next appointment, so we just keep on looking.
This week i spent the last of the quincena (950 pesos) buying a stove for 250 pesos. It was worth it because last Monday i bought pancake mix and eggs and then the stove broke, so i was pretty stressed out. Luckily i can reimburse it though, so in about a month ill have that money back again.
We found a super awesome family from Veracruz. We had barely knocked on their door when the mom invited us in and told all of her kids to stop cleaning so they could come and listen to us. We taught them the restoration and we are going back today to see them again.
We had a cool lesson teaching somebody about the sabbath day and inviting them to church, but they didn't come. Hopefully this week she will be able to come. We also found somebody that asked us when the Book of Mormon was published and knowing what was coming i said around 200 years ago. And then the lady said that the catholic bible was 4,000 years old and i was about ready to leave because that's what they always say and then i was like "wait she just said 4,000 years old i got to look into this." So, i said "wait how is it that the catholic bible is 4,000 years old when Jesus was born only 2,000 years ago, Juan disappeared around 83 AD and the bible as we know it was first put together roughly around 250 AD." And then she said that Jesus was born more than 4,000 years ago and that she reads the bible every day and then slammed the door in our face.
My back hurts super bad and when we visited a member family they had a member from another ward who is a physical therapist there, so he popped my back and offered me free physical therapy which i might do tomorrow.
And the highlight of my week happened on Friday. I thought i had lived it all being on the mission, but Friday around 7 as we left the house of some in-actives we were visiting a dog started barking at me. So, i faked like i was going to hit it with my Book of Mormon and it didn't do anything, but while i was distracted another dog came up and bit me on the back of my leg. I have never been closer to throwing my Book of Mormon in an animals face, but member lady was watching us go, so i couldn't do anything. So, we left her street and i looked and it was bleeding. So, i decided to rub hand sanatizer on it and we kept working. Then we went home around 8 so i could wash it good and then i had to call sister barron. She set me to the hospital and we had to take a taxi. The taxi guy was talking to us the whole time and we had to stop by the offices to pick up money (the financial secretary's tried getting mad at me that i didn't have money, but i threw it back at them because they haven't done my reimbursements for a month) and the taxi driver heard that i had a dog bite and he literally peeled out of the church. He was like "why didn't you tell me you had a dog bite??" as he was going like 70 mph. Then i was like "don't worry Paul got bit by a snake and nothing happened" to which he replied "Tu no eres san pedro ni san pablo tu eres Elder abaratweifalj" I guess everyone freaks out about dog bites here, but i was pretty chill. Long story short, everything is good and i wont get rabbis.
Adios
