A Pretty Good Week

Hey everyone! Hows it going? Things are going great here in Crevillente. We made quite a bit of progress this week. First off, we finally got in contact with a less active member here. I have been trying since I got here and missionaries have tried for over a year. I´ve called him, passed by with members, asked his relatives for new numbers...everything! But my companion called him ONCE and he answered. We had two appointments with him last week. I guess I have a lucky companion. Joseph came to church yesterday along with three other investigators. We actually showed up to church with five people tagging along with us. Florente, Lorena, Veronica (less active member), and the children of Florente and Lorena. The branch seemed to be happy about that. Domingo is still Domingo. Its really hard for him to progress because he can´t hear. He´s been coming to church for the longest time now and meeting with missionaries for almost a year. But he still has no idea whats going on. I´m not just saying that. We watched The Resoration movie with him and I translated and afterwards I asked him if he knew who Joseph Smith was and he said NO. I was thinking ¨you´ve gotta be kidding me¨ haha. Its just going to take a little more work. Yesterday something pretty crazy happened. Jose Garro, our deaf member, has been talking to me about how his wife has been really mad at him for the last month and thats why she doesn´t come to church. I saw his wife in the street last week and asked if we could pass by on Sunday. She seemed fine with it so we wrote it down in our planners and planned to try and help out a little. It didn´t turn out so well. By the end of it José and his wife were screaming at each other because there was miscommunation. She thought he was talking bad about her when really he was talking about a book. Go figure. It was actually really sad. We left the house kind of flustered. I don´t know if any of you have seen a deaf couple fight, but its pretty intense. The only blessing I can see from this is I´m pretty sure I´ll never be a bishop because all I did was create a bigger problem. No just kidding. We are going to talk with the branch president to see if there is anything he can do. Its lasted too long now. Other than that everything is going good here. We have plenty of work to do and we are finding more investigators. I really love the mission. I am learning tons of things about the gospel and myself. It really is a once in a lifetime experience. OH! Bryson congrats on turning in the papers! You´re going to Mexico with all your brothers down there. I know this is Gods work and that really everything depends on Him. I´m so thankful that I´m able to experience this. I love you all and I hope you have the best week ever! Bye bye. Love, Elder Langston
