Everyone is praying for rain here in Teófilo. We´ve been getting hit with quite a bit of sun, and it´s drying everything up and making us all lose our marbles. Really. There are days when we get home and I can´t think or speak right, so everyone says I´m going crazy and that I shouldn´t spend as much time in the sun. It has led to some pretty funny language mix-ups, though. Nothing new for the Crapo family, right? (see also: lanes in the store, stop it off, rolled oats, etc...)
We miraculously managed to get several investigators and less-actives to church yestarday! Four of which were two couples who need to be married. (surprise? No.) I´ll save you all from the ususal ``just get married!´´ rant this week, you already know how I fell about this. The work is going well, and we´ve been going crazy still trying to find people to teach while the whole city is travelling. It´s seems like things are finally getting back tho normal now.
We also had President and Sister Young visit the city this weekend along with his couselor, President Aguirres. It was a weekend filled with meetings, interviews, and lots of running around. The two branches here met together in sacrament meeting and also in the third hour with the Quorum and the Relief Society. About half way through the third hour, Presdent Young stood up from the stand and started walking to the back of the chapel where I was sitting. I sat there thinking, ``not me, not me, not me...´´ but to my dismay, he stopped in front of me and started whispering something in my ear. He told me that he would be the next to speak, and that he would talk about the sacrment and asked me if I would sing a sacrament hymn solo before he spoke. I thought, ``oh, just that?´´ haha. It went well and many thanked me for bringing such a strong spirit to the meeting.
That´s about all the news for this week. I love you all, and see you soon!
Elder Crapo
