My zone surprised me with donuts for my birthday. They also took me to Wendy's! I'm basically sure I'll be staying in my area with Elder Young until I finish my mission based on what our mission president said to us in our interviews. This week we had a normal bolo experience but I thought I'd share this one with you haaaaa. Funny... we were walkin on a hot summer day sweatin as usual and we heard some dude shout from behind us "hey gringos heeeeey gringo!" We turned around and it was a bolo headin straight towards us. He was tripping as he approached us and had 2 mini bananas in his hands. He started asking us to preach to him "the word." One of his bananas slipped out of the peel and landed in the gravel. I just turned around and started laughing sooo hard! My comp gave him a pamphlet and he started reading it but he wiped some of his other banana all over it. He ate the other banana in one bite and threw the peel to the ground. Then out of nowhere he started taking his shirt off, He had scars all over his chest and stomach stab marks and bullet holes. He also had a tattoo of a naked lady on his stomach and one of his stab marks was on the face so he was pretty mad about that, but anyways we just told him the next time we saw him we'd talk more and we bounced. In the market at night it's just soooo sketchy because there's always sick dudes dressed up as girls and they blow kisses to us every time we pass them. It's like a small moment on the strip in Las Vegas. Creeeeepy stuff. We had a great experience with Wilmer, one of the people we are teaching. We have been reading the Book of Mormon with him. We read chapter 2 with him this week and we could feel the spirit very strong. We asked him to do the last prayer in which he asked God if the Book of Mormon was true. As soon as he asked that I could feel the spirit even stronger and there's no doubt that he didn't feel it too. After he finished we sat in silence and I looked him in the eyes and knew he could feel something. I told him to pay attention to his thoughts and feelings as he prayed and read the Book of Mormon. I really hope he progresses. I'm officially 20 guys. I know it doesn't look like it especially cause I still can't grow a beard but oh well what can you do. My district celebrated my birthday surprising me with donuts and a trip to Wendy's where they paid for my meal. It was awesome! A family we saw watching the game outside on their tv. It's been raining here almost everyday.
