So, things had been a little hard the past few weeks because of vacations and summer and what not. We weren't getting as much success but recently, things have been excellent, especially yesterday and the day before! We've been hitting a good balance between finding and teaching, and we've just seen lots of good investigators just kinda come out of hiding. It kinda reminded me of that verse in Helaman (or 3 Nephi) where a bunch of people get baptized and no one knows why.
There's not too much to share about specific investigators because a lot have just kinda been frozen for the moment, but we've still been finding and teaching a lot more than usual. The others we've met recently and will see how things develop. We've only had one lesson with each of them but they've been way good. One was the brother of a really good contact and when we went back to see her, he was like, "Nah, she went to live 3 hours away with her boyfriend" and we were like, "What?!" I kinda thought he was lying (ya sometimes get lied to in the mish) but he was really receptive and we taught Lesson 1 and the Book of Mormon and he said, "I read a lot. Do you guys give that out?!" and we were like, "You bet your marbles!" We're gonna see him today! And there were 2 others just like that. AND, we found a new family, too, but it's hard because they're actually a part-member family but aren't married. We're working on that. The non member mom really wants to get baptized.
Sunday, my comp fell off his bike, AGAIN! We were just on some little street and we passed by a couple of dogs. They did nothing to me, but randomly started chasing my comp. Since the best thing to do is stop and get off, that's what I did. My comp, who was following me from behind and was looking behind himself, because of the dogs, crashed into me, taking a hard fall. The fall made so much noise a nice neighbor heard, came outside, and had him come inside and wash off. So, the last 3 hours of the day he was super dusty and had a blood stain on his sleeve. 
He's fine now though! It was a bit gnarly but he's a trooper. He needs to wear a wrist brace and a few band-aids and it was the second time in 10 days...
Today, we had a practice for the choir number that we're singing for Elder Christofferson and the other G.A.s that'll be in our conference next Wednesday. After that, we got to watch the highlights of the Super Bowl. Pretty neat stuff! We then went to a really delicious Peruvian restaurant! I had some "Lomo Salteado". Very tasty.
That was mostly this last week. Finally having the (college) application finished was a relief! Now, we're just going hard and having a blast!
Have a good week everyone!
