ELDER CANYON ATWOOD

Hey what's up Texas? I'm great! This week has been good so far.  This week has been good like real good but also hard I'm in an area that in the past 6 months they have had 3 baptisms but we are programing for like 5 this month.  Diana has a date for this week and we have this black guy not to be racist its just there are not alot of dark people here he has a date for the 30th but he doesn't feel prepared but he wants to get baptized.  Funny story about him everyone thought he was a member cuz he has been going to church for like 4 years he actually went on a temple trip and everyone thought he was member and he went to the registration haha the dude enterd the temple but they kicked him out hahaha.  We also have this guy Joel he's dope literally fell from the sky well not literally but what happened is that he heard the missionaries before and was going to get baptized but he owed money to some columbian gang thats comes here and lends money to everyone but kills them if they don't pay and well ya he came up to us and wants to get baptized. We will put him in the water this 24th or the 30th.   Then I found 2 pfs part member family there is a mother who has 2 kids and wants them to get baptized the father doesn't want a thing but I said that before she even signs a permission I need to know her husband and talk to him cuz I am convinced that anyone can get baptized.  Then we have this girl Mara she is a snake a recent convert the freaking retarted misisonaries just baptized her without even teaching her family but now were teaching her mom Cristina and her 3 sisters Ariana, Samara and Tamara. Only Samara went to chruch this week she is 8 and every time she sees me she runs and hugs my legs haha!!  Well were gonna be working on them for this month or the month of agosto so ya things are looking dope were still getting low lessons but I don't care cuz were progressing like crazy and ya well life is good! We are  working hard and my comp is a little lazy and he want to go up as district leader like crazy this change so he is prideful and tries to tell me what to do but in our companion invintory he tried to council me and burn me a bit like how I need to do more work visits to the elders in my district how he doesn't want to work in the morning how he doesn't want to befriend the members and how he wants to visit these girls.  I kinda told him no on all of them telling him I will not do a work visit for 24 hours unless there are progressing investigators that they will visit or interviews and how snakes is a big no no and how he needs to befriend the members better cuz they gossip alot here like its crazy and everyone is telling me I need to marry peruvian so if they ask y'all I am in a very commited long distace relationship ok just cuz I dont want any of that. I told him he's to just be patient cuz I know what I am doing I have had lots of success not to brag but my zone leader Elder Dority told me that I am the missionary with the most baptisms in the mission and my comp only has 6 but I understand anyway. Well this is a great week have a geat one y'all chow!
