It's all about love mom

This week was really all about expressing love to the different members of our barrio. Baically, On tuesday we had our usual District meeting but after that me and elder sopena took some candies we had purchased the day before and visted every member possible. Every single one that we visted was like bomb!!! I mean you would never believe how dedicated these members really are. I am so grateful for the members that I do have.

We teach english classes on tuesdays apparently so me and elder sopena and another member of the ward Antonio (recent convert) taught some inactives and some potential investagators. It was bomb it is what the ward needs also. Well on wednesday we had zone conference and let me tell you what!!! It was the bomb- digity. Elder Macdonalds companion elder brox is going home this transfer. In approximately 4 weeks and sadly to say he gave his final talk in front of the missionaries. I really felt the spirit once he spoke. At the end of that me and the elders that I live with sang in a choir that will be singing in december for all the missionaries. I am excited and I know it is a bomb opportunity to invite investagators :)

On thursday me and elder sopena visited some other members in our area and gave them pass along cards and taught them how to give out pass along cards and invite people to church. It was a really good feeling. I think that teaching people how to teach is so vital to help the church progress.

On Friday we had to return to the house way early because is New Jersey they have what is called Mischief night and Halloween. Where traditionally the gangs from Newark and farther into the city go out and kill people. According to last years reports and what president Bahr told us. on the 30th of october 30 people were killed and on the 31st of october 31 people were killed. Basically it's a terrible thing that happens in New Jersey 61 people killed. So we go home early 6pm to be exact.

Well saturday was interesting to say the least. Alot of interesting people in our neighborhood but basically it turned out that we went over to some potential investagators house and bam talked with them for the longest time about this life and when we die. Answering questions of the soul. It was really great.

Love, Elder Gamez
