Week 71 (September 25, 2017)

So this week was a solid week.  President gave us the challenge as a mission to find 1000 new investigators in one day. That breaks down to just 12 per companionship. My comp and I took it super personal and really wanted to push ourselves. We set a goal with the other 2 elders in our area to get 50 investigators each. We went so hard!! Elder Green and I ended up with 60 and the other companionship found 65!!! We made a bet that whoever found more had to buy breakfast on Friday for our weekly planning. We found as a mission 1,942. The most I have heard of for companionship's is just 28. We killed it!!!!! 

Alright so also this week because elder Green goes home is we did something we have always wanted to do but never had the time, so we made a little time and took care of it. On Thursday we went out to a little lake in a poorer part of our area that has a little lake in it. Normally we would go there after a visit and spend 5 minutes throwing rocks at the turtles and crocodiles, but that day we came very prepared. We brought a hook and hot dogs and 100 pound fishing line and went to work. it took us about an hour but we ended up catching a freaking CROC!! It took us like 20 minutes to pull it in and put a rope around its mouth and kill it by smashing it over the head with a huge rock but we caught it and we killed it. Then we did something that comes natural, we took it home and skinned it and pulled all of the meat off of it an ate it for our breakfast on Friday. It was so delicious!!! Tasted like chicken put it was way better!!! I don't really now how to explain it. Just super dense meat, almost fish like, but without any bones. We just fried it up with salt and pepper, we wanted to get a good croc taste. 

Also we had a baptism this week. Her names is Bella, shes 10, she has been coming to church alone for 2 months and she finally got permission from her mom to be baptized. She was baptized after church on Sunday. We are also looking forward to having 2 more baptisms this week. 

Also today we had changes. My companion will be headed home to California and I will be receiving another new missionary. My 4th time training. I love training though so this will be great!! Also my comp got permission to stay in the area for an extra 2 days and wait for my comp to get here on Wednesday. Should be more fun working hard with him out here!! Can't wait to see what this new change brings!!! 

Love and miss you all!!
