I have a story!

Hey my Peeps,

I hope everything has been going great in your lives. I know that here Im doing great. This is a great time to be alive and be a missionary. Ive been so blessed here in my mission. I love just looking around at all the things that I have been blessed with. If we really look and search we can find many new things that we havent ever noticed. Two days ago our Zone had our interviews with the President of the mission. It was amazing. I love how much of a great man President Bair is and how learned he is. He really is a man called of God and has a huge vision. I love trying to do everything he says. I know that when I heed and follow his counsel I am blessed. He is really impressed with the work we have done here in Los Alcarrizos. The only problem is that I might be tranfered this upcoming transfer in 2 weeks. But we really dont know what is going to happen. Elder Russell has 1 tranfer lefet but he has already been here 4. So is we stays he will have been here for 7 and a half months. SO he might get moved for a transfer. But the probability is that I will leave and he will stay in the Area. But whatever happens Ill be happy. It has been raining much here in this last week. 4 of of 5 days. I love the rain but when you walk around all day in it you tend to be a little dirty. Well we are continuing to work hard here and doing well. We are teaching 5 families right now and we are havppy. We just pray that they will progress. Ok, now the story. Always while we are walking kids say bad stuff to us in English as in worse than the middle finger. So lately Elder Russell has been 0 tolerance. The other week he chased a kid into a house and told the grownups what we said. Im pretty sure he got beat. The parents and adults here have 0 tolarance for that kid of stuff here. The hate badly raised kids. So 2 days ago after the Interviews with the President we were walking on the road of the Bishop. He had just passed his house when we saw kids on the side of the road. I saw one of them whispering to another. I knew he was teaching another kid to say bad stuff in English. So I told Elder Russell they were going to say something. So as precicted a kid said something. Elder Russell turned around and took took steps at them as a kid started running. Elder Russell chased after him. Elder Russell barely toached his shirt as the 13 year old kid turned on a point and juked Elder Russell. Then he he was so smart to run back into my direction. He tried to run up the side of the street but being ticked off my football side kicked in. I side stepped, took a couple of steps and leveled the kid through a metal fence. It was the tin that go on tin roofs. So I Leveled this kick though this fence. He actually flew through the air. Elder Russell grabed him by the neck and we yelled at the other kids to tell us where he lives. They gladdly told us. As we started walking to the house he broke free screaming. Elder Russell caught him the next street down where his house was. We picked him up and took him to his hous. We told teh Parents what we said. The dad said we could beat him first then he would. We declined the offer and told him not to beat him too hard. He just needed to learn his lesson. It turns out that it was the same kid that Ran away the last time. We told all the kids on the street the last time and many times before not to say those words. So I think they learned a lesson. THe first time no. But teh second time after being launched into a metal fence and beat by his dad. So that is my little story for today. They know what the say and I wont take anything if I here that phrase. I will protect my family and also all the others that I care for. ahhaha. Dont freak out to bad. We are still working hard. hahaha.
