Armadillo!

This week was pretty good. We came home one night and our neighbors were loading a moving truck. So we helped them load everything in the truck for about an hour then had to hurry and get to bed. Then the next day we helped them unload at their new apartment just down the street. They are a very nice couple who are in the army. When we were unloading they had so many guns. It's crazy how many guns people have hear in Texas. We had dinner the other night at a members house and he said he had at least 50 guns in his house. Texas people are crazy about their guns.

It was pretty crazy this morning we saw an armadillo and we tried to catch it. Those things are so quick. It went under a car and I grabbed the end of its tail but I didn't have enough grip that it got away. They are such weird animals and sometimes when they are running they jump it is the weirdest thing. Maybe one day I will be able to catch one. We have still been working with Antonio who is amazing. This week we asked him if he would grab his Book of Mormon and he had it in his backpack because he reads it at school and on the bus. He is almost done with 2 Nephi already. He didn't come to church because his parents made him go to their Catholic Church but we are still trying to work with the parents. One day he will be baptized. We don't have anyone with a baptismal date because the ones we set this week with dates didn't come to church so we removed their date. Hopefully this week we will be able to have a couple of people with dates.

We had another lesson with Christy Miller who is a mother of four crazy children and her husband is always wasted. We went yesterday and she was crying because she doesn't like the way her life is going. She has no money, her husband is crazy, she lost her job and everything is just not going good for her. I didn't know what to say to her so I just bore my testimony and told her that scripture study and prayer will help. I have been so blessed to be raised in such a great family and in a great neighborhood and house. I have also noticed the importance of marriage and how important it is to marry someone who will help you get through this challenging life.

Also we finally meet with Winston again and he said he has been very busy with school and helping his dad rebuild their trailer but we had a great lesson with him. He had an amazing prayer were he said that he wants to meet with the missionaries more because he knows how important our message is. Hopefully we can get him back to reading the Book of Mormon each day and also get him to come back to church and young men's.
