So I am going to tell you a little story about a nice little old man named Narcico. He is great. So sometimes around here, we have people that contact us. In this little part of Nogales that we where working in, there is always this little man walking around with his dog. And we say hello to everyone. Well, you say "good afternoon" it is just what you do. Well, this we said as we were walking past him. He stopped us and asked about us. He walks around with his dog because he cannot see very well. He went on to talk about how he likes to listen to the word of God and he wanted us to visit him. For reasons unknown ( ok one is known- the directions to his house were really confusing) we didn´t take him very seriously. This was a few weeks ago, and we found him another time after that and still didn´t go to visit him. Well, we ran across him the other day and he was very sad that we didn't come. So we make an appointment with him and decided to find his house right after talking to him so that we would know for the next day. Well we found out that he already has been visited by the missionaries before, but in this time he wasnt ready to settle into a religion, and he had some problems with some commandments. He is now ready. Goes to show that you first, follow up- second, people are not always what they seem and third, God will bring the prepared people to you.
A second of funny, corn on a stick really is a thing. But the corn here isn´t sweet so it is weird. Funnier thing- a bus ran over my companions corn. Another funny moment in a sec.
Have I told you about the family Charley? It is really the Family Cruz, but everyone calls them that because the dads name is Hermano Charley. They are SO great. Extremely supportive of the missionaries, and always willing to help. Hno Charley was just made our ward mission leader, and things are getting better and better here. I have a lot of hope and faith in the Lords hand in the work here in Nogales. This family is always there for us when we need anything. They care a lot. I am greatful for people that care.
There is this little boy, who is the son of the relief society president. His name is Carlos. When we first came to his house, we would say like 2 sentences, and he would exclaim that he had no idea what we were saying. We are working on the accent thing, and his parents understood us fine, but it was just so funny. But by the end of the meal, he was chatting it up with us about how he wanted to learn English. The next time we ate with them, he wanted to sing primary songs with us. He asked us to sing in English while he sang in Spanish. In the last song, he started to try to sing with us in English. He told his mom that he could feel something special. He said "We can´t stop. We have to do something else. LETS READ THE SCRIPTURES" We had to go, but I hope they read together. His mom was very touched by this experience and so were we. I hope that when we have spiritual experiences like that, we keep looking for more. I will send a picture of him. He calls us "missionaries" because we taught him how to say that. It is adorable.

Second funny. a guy came up to us and sang a song about Jesus and said that it was in English and I didn´t understand any of it, but the tune is still stuck in my head.
My companion and I have great moments after some conversations by direct translating them into English. It's a blast.
Well, send me about what you are studying in the scriptures, I would love to hear that! I love you all
