There's only only one word that can help me describe this week perfectly : GULP!! Well creeds, If you asked me I'd say this was one of the more crazy weeks I've gone through in all of my mission. Let me explain... First off, we weren't able to work on Tuesday because some crazy dudes from the DPI came to our area and started killin all the gangsters. They were searchin the backpacks of eeeveryone on the street. They entered into every Pulperia and they even entered into the house across the street from where we live. These dudes are nuts. They all drive nice trucks with tinted windows. They don't have uniforms they just wear brown bullet proof vests, black beanie masks, and carry massive guns to shoot down the thugs. On Wednesday we had to head to the city around 4:00 p.m to stay the night there. It's because we had a Multizone the next day at 7:00 a.m and apparently it's really dangerous to be on the buses in the morning these days. We ended up staying in the house of the Elders Sanchez and Cook from Bulevar. The multizone on Thursday was dope. We had the opportunity to listen to Elder Zeballos and his wife. They are from Chile. Their accents were soooo wierd haha, but in a cool way. They both gave talks. Elder Zeballos machetied all of the gringos that don't study Spanish and all of the Latinos that don't study English because its such a valuable time to be able to learn another language in the mish and if we learn it good we will have many opportunities be opened for us in the future. On Saturday we ended up having to go to the city again early in the morning to prest service as a mission. So we had to be on the bus at 7:00 a.m. My comp and I were in the very back of the bus. It was a (Rapidito) if you want to look it up on the internet. Anyway it was a normal bus ride you feel until we got to the Mayoreo. (part of my second area, Las Mercedes) It's basically a long street with a market on the side. There are always tons of people buying and walking around. There was a lot of traffic so we were moving slow. The bus drivers always keep the door open because it gets hot if you close it. Anyway I was just chillin until all of a sudden 2 dudes with masks and massive pistols hopped on the bus they started swearing at everyone and saying give me your money, your phones, and everything you have. Everyone was sketched out just giving them all of their stuff. When he got to me my adrenaline was pumpin so my instincts were to just kick the gun out of his hand and then I tackled him to the ground. Everyone in the bus dog piled him and I threw the gun off the bus... IIIIMMMMM KIIIIDDDIIIIINNNNGGG!! Do you really think I'd do that HHaAAAAA FUNNY! No..when he pointed his gun at my chest I just took the 70 lemps I had in my pocket and handed it to him and they bailed. But I was sooo sketched out ahaha. I'm traumatized everytime we're caught in traffic on one of those buses haha. Well, we arrived to the city finally to prest service. Almost all of the mision was there except the 2 farthest zones from the city. They gave us red t shirts that say Ilumina el Mundo and we split up as zones and went to sweep the trash off the streets. We were assigned 2 streets as a zone. When we got to our street with our brooms and trash bags ready to go there was a crazy lady there. She was sniffing glue out of a bottle and obviously was suuuuper high. She stole a broom from us and started sweeping trying to help us out. Then she tried kissing one of the elders. We finally got the broom back and she started walking away. She walked about 5 feet and out of nowhere she pulled down her pants and started taking a dump in the street. La Divina, one of the areas in my district, had a baptism this week so I did the interview and we went to the tism. Some member ended up giving us a ride home in his truck. He was super rich haha he had and iphone X in one pocket and the newest Samsung Note in the other. Well we are finally going to have a tism this week with some bro that had an addiction to coffee but we've been helping him out and he's gone 17 days without drinking. Thats all for today Love you!!
