Hello everyone!

So we had a good week! Sadly Gregory still isn't here but we were able to find 2 new amis!

David, the first guy we found, is a very weird and long story so bear with me. Last transfer we were walking home and this dude comes up to us and puts his hand in the air and yells something about Jesus Christ. We thought he was drunk but he said he talked to us before but we never saw him during our whole time here. Anyways, he talked to us a little bit about Joseph Smith. We started talking with him and explained to him everything about Joseph Smith and the Restoration. He was really interested so by the end of it, we asked him for his phone number and another Rendez-vous with him. He then said that if God wants it then we will see each other again....haha. We tried again but he kept on saying the same thing, so we let him go with a restoration brochure and our card.

Later on, we kept on running into him a lot and we would teach him here and there. After seeing us multiple times, he still wouldn't give us his phone number or address.  This week, however, it all changed!

We saw him again and we taught him more about the Book of Mormon and during the middle of the lesson he starts doing like the mating call to whistle to a girl that walks by...haha. She gives him like this weird look ad shakes her head. We then turn to him and ask him if he knew this girl. He said no he didn't know here.  It was so funny. David thinks that he is King David from the Bible. He said, "I am like King David, I like beautiful women" haha. But anyways, we were still focused and by the end of it he finally gave us his phone number and his address and he even invited us over to a barbeque!!!!

On Saturday, we went over to have a barbeque and it was dang good.  He cooked us lamb! He offered us wine and we said we don't drink wine. Then he said, "You don't drink the blood of Christ??" haha  He was just kidding though. Then he made another joke about how he got lamb because it reminds us of the "Lamb of God."  I have to admit, it was so fun. Here are some pics of the barbeque: 

Here is David and I.

Elder Willden and I:

This boy even likes the LAKERS!!!!  Oh yeah!!!!!!

Below is a picture of Roquefort, the strongest cheese! And yes the green stuff is mold which you eat.

Other than that we went over to a member's home because Elder Oliverson was leaving this week to go back home after 2 years. So we had a good time! Elder Oliverson left this morning so Elder Weston, Elder Willden and I will be in one companionship until Elder Willden finishes his mission in 2 weeks. So...it should be interesting seeing 3 guys in white shirts contact people.haha

Have a great week everyone!!!! Love you guys!!!!
