Working like a dog

This week I got fleas.

Haha.  We were trying to teach a recent convert, and he told us that he didn´t have time because he had to clean out a room that hasn´t been used in a long time for his brother who was going to move in.  Being missionaries we offered to help him so that he would have time to listen for a bit, but we didn´t know what we were getting into.  

The room had not been cleaned in a very long time, and a couple of dogs have been living in there off and on again.  The second we entered my legs began to itch, but I have a lot of mosquito bites so I just kind of shrugged it off.  Then my companion started itching, and we looked down and we were covered with little black fleas!  

When we left we called the mission presidents wife and asked what we should do when we returned back to the apartment in a few hours.  She didn´t like our question, and told us we had to go the the apartment immediatly and wash our clothes and take showers.  By then we were starting to itch pretty bad so we ran the entire way.  We´re clean now!

This week we´ve found a lot of new families to teach!  My second favorite thing in the mission! 

 My first favorite is teaching someone who´s never prayed in their life how to do it.  The spirit is so strong.  There isn´t a better feeling than connecting someone to their Heavenly Father.  I feel like a P.I. help some poor little orphan find their long lost parents.

Love you all, hope you all are doing well

One of the hermanas we live with is a little crazy

Me and my companion were really excited because there is only one flavor of doritos (Nacho Cheese) here, and we both miss spicy ones.  And, what sounds more fun than Doritos russian roulett?  But, the extra spicy ones weren´t actually that spicy.  We were a little dissapointed.

Blessed is living in the ward of your mission president, and having his wife bake for you.
