January 17th and January 31st

Jan 31st: hello family, another crazy fast week. we got so rejected this week!! called devils, then after i told that woman we were there to baptize her.. that didn't make her any more happy!.. I also got spit on this week. I guess I'm finally in the club lol I also look sweet, because i go around with a huge fanny pack now instead of a shoulder bag. So much more comfortable. we also got approved to wear hats, but they are Indiana Jones hats... I cant wait to buy one and walk around like a testigo de jehova! lol We found a 17 year old boy though that is way interested. Its so weird, I miss home, i walk in the heat all day with a fanny pack and broken shoes for 10 hours a day work my butt off, I'm yelled at and sworn at, spit at and what ever else you can think of. But yet something so weird, I'm happy!! I have found how many people do things or judge someone before they ever knew them. Its crazy you could talk to some one a lot or occasionally and still never even know them. I'm doing great family I love you all!!!!

Love Elder Ward

Jan 17th:Well mom and dad thanks so much for the emails, its crazy to hear dad say that he is Intimidated to teach .... shoot dad you know every thing. We have to ask grown men who might not even believe in God to get on their knees and pray in front of us and their family and remember its the first visit too, after about 20 min in their house! That's intimidating!! lol jkjk Thanks for the doctrine mom. I have had a good week, things went extremely fast. I cant believe I'm here again emailing. We now have permission to email for an hour and thirty minutes. So I have time to email everyone.  Don't forget that I can type like light speed. We had two new converts of less than two months of their baptism up blessing the Sacrament this Sunday I loved it. I bought a new bag to day and I feel great! We also played volleyball today AND I destroyed. It was a lot of fun but man am I in need of a good work out. But hey I work out 3 times a  week. Its just hard there is so much food here from the members and they expect you to eat like 3 plates. I'll give you two a story. There is an Elder in our mission named Elder Gil from Colombia he is the assistant right now and he is an amazing missionary. He was in the Mission Presidents house when the President got a call from a Area Seventy from Argentina asking to go to lunch with our pres. So they did, it came out that it was for no reason why he wanted to have lunch just that he was in the area and the man said the spirit told him to. That him and his wife had to visit our mission pres and his wife. After lunch they went back to the mission home and Elder Gil was there. He recognized the mans name and asked him where he served his mission. This man had baptized his mother 25 years ago and never heard from her since.  Now he  meets the son of the woman he baptized from a contact in a bus so long ago. Elder Gil told us about it. Good story huh.. We never know how much can come from a simple contact on a bus. Now all of her children are members and her husband is Bishop and other family members were baptized later and from that one person, in the family they have had 4 missionaries. I love you mom and dad....
