Gunshots and Chickens

Another week! Not a super eventful week. But we are working hard and slowly about surely finding people to teach. This week we were in a neighborhood right by the place where our Bishop was shot (we stopped there too by the way, see the attached picture!).

To see the video from the police program about this event, go to THIS POST.

We met a couple neat people, even accidently knocking into an inactive member. But while we were there we heard a couple of gunshots! They sounded pretty close, I wanted to find the shells for my shell collection, but we didn't, we just went back to work. LOL Never really felt unsafe here to be honest, same with Oak Cliff.

We also had dinner with a nice Honduran family, and the wife's mother raises chickens! She said she used to have 300 she said but they die off, or get eaten by dogs, or she sells them to people. But she let us chase them and stuff. She would catch them and let us hold them and stuff lol. Their neighbor had horses that we were able to call over and pet and feed and stuff too. It was pretty neat. The one Guatemalan Elder was unimpressed lol. (I'm sorry I look like a scrub in the pictures, no one told me my shirt was like half untucked.) 


We had a lesson with the lady that came to church last week, she's really cool! She came to church again this week, and we have a family home evening with her and some members tonight! Our Guatemalan family has been working (the wife works at a school, so now that school has started she's been working a lot), so not a whole lot of news from them right now. 

Last Monday we checked out a Bass Pro Shops (one Elder loves outdoorsy stuff but they don't have them in Utah), then today we played soccer with some cool members. Our Guatemalan Elder was easily the best, it was him with Elder Wyatt and I vs. the other Elder and two members, we didn't get a pic, but it was fun. 

I think that's about it for now,
Love you all!
