For about 8 hours after lunch during this week and I went knocking doors, teaching people in their houses, talking with people in the streets, generally did proselyting work. But wait... Isn't that like, normal, non-office missionaries? Isn't that what I USED to do before I came to the office??
I had a really cool week! In the pictures below is Elder Berrios. He's a New Yorker! I actually met him in a different zone like 6 months ago, but he's super cool so I was glad to have him come to my current zone during transfers a couple weeks ago. Monday, his companion had to go back home, so he was left without a companion. So, guess who went with him to do proselyting work? Me! It was SO weird and SO cool to be able to do like normal missionary work. I'd come to the mission office and do a little bit of work in the morning, and then we'd leave for a different part of the city pretty close by. Super fun, and we found tons of great people! Of course, it wasn't meant to last, and he picked up a part-time missionary so that I can finish all my work. It was cool.

That was about what happened in my week. Today will be the baptism interview for two of my investigators here and they'll be baptized tomorrow after church! I'm super happy. Tired, but happy. All the walking and talking and stuff really took it out of me. I felt like I was starting my mission all over again. It was nice though. So yeah! I feel bad, because I feel like I should be writing a ton more, but that's kinda all that I've got for now. I love everyone! Have a great week! Work hard and have fun!

"I find that when I get casual with my relationship with divinity and when it seems no divine ear is listening and no divine voice is speaking, that I am far, far away. If I immerse myself in the scriptures, the distance narrows and the spirituality returns. I find myself loving more intimately those I should love with all my heart, mind, and strength."
-President Spencer W. Kimball
