It's been a pretty good week. Elder Freeman is pretty awesome. He's doing really well so far. It's been a good week for us. A lot of our investigators are coming along really well. The hardest thing for us is getting them to come to church. Almost any Latino will listen to us, it's just they often times won't keep commitments which is a little frustrating.
A guy in a taxi waved us down to talk to us. We had a lesson with him and his family this week. He has a wife and a young son. He wife was baptized a few years ago back in El Salvador. He had taken the lessons with the missionaries with the elders in El Salvador but had never gotten baptized. So now he's interested in learning again. The wife isn't on our records since she has been less active since moving from El Salvador but now they're both interested in coming back to church. They're a really awesome family.
There are a ton of Tongans in Eastern Palo Alto. a lot of Tongans are already members of the church but they're all really really nice. We had lunch with a Tongan member today. People like to say that Latinos will feed you a lot but it's not even close to how the Tongan members are. They love to make the missionaries eat. A Tongan serving elder in my mission apparently gained 90 pounds on his mission. They're all super nice and funny though. They're a lot of fun to be around.
I've been feeling kind of sick lately which isn't too fun. It's going all right though. We're not biking around anymore so it's not too bad to keep going.
There's a really funny older couple that was baptized about a year ago and is preparing to be sealed soon. They're the Clementes. They're just the best. Sister Clemente is the nicest lady ever and brother Clemente is the funniest guy I've ever met. They're both in probably their sixties. So we go visit them every once in a while. They went to San Francisco this past weekend and got us both ties.
It's been a great week. I hope all goes well with you guys!
