it's getting hot

I´ve found that screaming children at church really can push my buttons quite fast. It was pretty bad yesterday, and kids running around the sacrament room, playing on iPads with the volume up, getting in fights with other kids, falling off chairs. It´s just too much sometimes.

But the miracle of that was that our amazing investigator, Jesus, came to church and actually liked it! He stayed all three hours, and because the order of the classes is backwards here, we started in the Elders quorum and we were worrried that he was getting bored. But he ended up liking it and we talked a bit after. We´ll be meeting with him on Tuesday, tomorrow, and we´ll make the baptismal plans more concrete.

It´s been so dang hot, I´m just constantly sweating I swear which sounds gross but it´s just what it is now. It´s much hotter down here than it is in Madrid. When I first got here it was quite green, but you can tell that it´s slowly starting to turn a little more brown.

The heat tends to keep people inside or just away from the streets. So we don´t see many people until later in the evening, like 8 or 9 sometimes haha. We´re trying to see if we can find new and better ways to find new investigators for those hours when no one can be found in the streets. Like finding families together in the parks as an example.

So, lets just say these white shirts have been turning a bit off white and I will not be taking them home.

Had zone conference on Thursday, it was a really good one--talked about being more bold in missionary work. Got to see Elder Wilson! Lots of fun to see and talk with him. Weird that he´ll be going home in a week!

All in all, we´re still seeing new miracles and blessings each day, like this new family that we´re going to visit on Friday where the parents are both inactive and the 3 kids haven´t been baptized yet, and we´re super excited to talk with them to see if we can work some magic :)

I love you all so much, thanks for your support and examples. I think and pray for you often.

Love Elder Franson
