This last week was really great, we started off a bit rocky since it was super hot and also the "holy week" and nobody was out on the street, especially during the Holy Friday. But it all turned out really well, since the majority of the new people we found were some of the last second contact of the night / final back up plan kind of things.
We finally found Jose Rios, who I had seen around for the past three months but could never get a hold of him, but we finally did one night. He is huge and owns a gym and looks just like the Rock and even though he is brand new and hasn't heard anything about the church, he told us how things kept on getting in the way whenever he wanted to try to meet with us, but he though that must've been a sign that the adversary was trying to stop him from doing something good. Also we've been teaching the familia Esareño y Tayabas like crazy, and we're getting ready to baptize all three of the little girls this coming Saturday, please pray that all will go smooth in this week for them!
Anyways, one last funny thing that happened was when we were walking out on the edge of the city one day a drunk/crazy guy came up to us and did his whole christian prayer thing and then shook my hand and only gave Elder Scoresby knuckles. He then started crying and curled up in a ball on the ground, and when we asked him what was wrong he told my companion that he didn't care about him because he didn't shake his hand good enough. Anyways then we gave him a Jesus contact card to worship and left; the word of wisdom is true, don't drink.
Anyways, thanks for all of your prayers, I love you all!
-Elder Varney
