Hey everyone! 

      So this week has been pretty eventful. We went over to an investigators house on Monday night to celebrate her 22nd birthday with her. Her name is Cheyenne and she is a single mother. We went over with Brother Rossel and we brought cheese cake and sub sandwiches. We bought those trick candles that don’’t go out for her cheese cake hahaha it was so funny! It was a good night though. 

     So there are these two elders that are serving in the same area as us and I guess they are having some issues with each other. They don’t get along very well. So my companion, being district leader, has to help them resolve it. It was like a mom trying to break up her two kids from fighting, ridiculous. We call our zone leader mama(elder) Cantu haha its pretty funny. So we had to deal with that, and then my iPad just decided to crap out on me. The LCD screen got messed up somehow and now I can’t see anything on my screen and it is all fuzzy. It has been like that since Tuesday, It has been rough, I feel so useless without it because now my companion has to do everything. Hopefully I will be able to get it fixed this week, we just have to find a local place that can do it. Other than that Tuesday was a good day. 

       We tracked this small apartment complex on Wednesday and it didn't take us too long. We found like 5 people that we taught and have a return appointment with. We were talking to this one last person and then the manager shows up and says he wants to talk to us, so we told him we would when we were finished. We continued to talk to her and he came out again and was a little frustrated and said he needed to talk to us right now. So I said hold on a minute we are talking. When we were done we went and talked to him and he was very unhappy. He was yelling at us and saying that we weren't allowed to be there and blah blah blah. There was no trespassing signs anywhere or no soliciting signs. He was saying he was gonna call the cops and we told him to please do, and when they get here 4 hours later they aren't going to do anything about it. Then he just told us to leave, so we did because we had already knocked all of the doors haha. Some people. 

        We went to Golden Coral on Friday after we helped a member move and that was such a mistake. We both ate like 4 plates of food. The next day we were so sick. Golden Coral wrecked us! It was so bad, I'm never going back there again. That was a bad day haha. 

       We have 4 baptisms lined up for this month so hopefully they all follow through! It is so cool to see the change in someone when they accept Christ into their life and want to follow him. It strengthens my testimony when I see that. I love being out here and I love teaching people about the Gospel. That is something I would not have said before my mission. I usually would just keep to myself but now I like talking to strangers and sharing something with them that can change their life. My mission has been such a blessing. I hope you all have an amazing week! 

Love Elder Hudson
