My second week

I cant belive i finished my second week. It seems as if the days are going faster and faster. It goes faster when we have people to teach. right now we have tons of investigators. They look very promising. We still have 5 people for baptismal dates but we had to push them back becaue they must go 2 weeks to church in a row and show their desire. Elder Macy and i made this rulñe and really take seriously the people who are to be baptised in the church. we want to baptize leaders adn great strong families. We are in desperate need of priesthood holders here. Well in my time here we walk a lot but our area is very small. i´d say we walk 60% of the time and walk 40%. we ride almost always to Don gregorio. Well i did go through a hurricane here. but we werent hit very hard. Their was so wind and quite a bit of rain. but it looked like something that we could get back in idaho. Ut haiti and athe most south eastern part of the dr was hit pretty good. I also heard it was coming to texas. but im not sure. Well during the night of the hurricane my companion was awaked to the groaning of a cat under his bed. He ran of the bed and left me there alone. We were scared. we tried everytrhing to get it out form under the bed. but it wouldnt budge. Im never going to forget the hissing and growling of that thing. I hit it probably 20 mies so times in the face with a broom but nothing worked. We tried for 2 hours then we went to bet. This happened from 2:30am-4:30am. then we sleeped. But its was still there in the moring. we went to 9:00 church then came back and guess who was still there. yes, the cat. so one of my companions grabbed a spray bottle and shot it. He said cats loath water and cant stand it. so he sprayed it in the face and it took off. so our 2 hours was in vain and the 3 minutes fo finding a bottle and spraying a bottle worked. so let this be a life lesson. cats hate water. A couple days before we went to the beach elder macy and i. It weas so beautiful and quiet. we collected some rocks then went our way. Oh, Guess who lives in don gregorio. VLADMIR GUIERRO. he plays for the angels and is super good. he won the home run derby this year. We can see his super huge house. people said he only lives there for maybe a month in a year. Ill take a picture, but maybe he´ll be here after baseball is done. We had zone confrence on thursday. it was aweomse. It was a good one and he had all good things to say. We wants as a mission 100 baptisms a month, and 1 per comanionship per week. Its is a goal we hope we can meet. Yesturday and last night till toiday i went on a companion exchage with elder calvert, who is a zone leader. It was so cool. We did contacting by walking for 7 hours. it was great experiance. we contacted over 50 people and taught 7 lessons.

Well I hope you all have fun this week. I pray for you all.

Elder Anderson
