Email numba 3 from yours truly

 Yes thats right im still alive and yes I know it's late so I'm sorry that's its late. This week was a mix of crazy/sameol sameol. Tuesday morning I finished 1st Nephi so that was cool. Then we went out to find new people to teach at Walmart. After a bit we decided to go over to the tj max parking lot. At some point I needed to use the bathroom so we walked in and they had Christmas pajamas everywhere so I bought some Homer Simpson pj's of course. And you can't forget the cowbell sweater I bought with it. Later that night there was an interfaith meeting at the church and all sorts of different religions were there yelling and preaching in the church so it was kinda cool. After we got home elder larson decided he wanted to burn a shirt because it was his year mark so he put it in a 5 gallon bucket and lit it up. Yeah as you could guess the bucket turned into a melted mess. Wednesday we did exchanges and I went with the zone leader elder reeves. Keep in mind he is a Spanish speaking missionary so we went to look for people to teach/talk to in this super Hispanic area with literally no English speaking people anywhere. It was miserable. I was walking around for 6 hours with no people that could speak hardly any English. Thursday yea yeah  ofc it's turkey day. Thanksgiving was good. We went to a Hispanic family's home,The Avilas. We had turkey and rice and sparkling grape soda. Not too shabby. They said they usually cook tacos so it's new for them too. They have a son Brian Avila that just got set apart as a missionary so that was cool getting to talk to him about that. We also had lemon pie and strawberry cheesecake. I talked to all of my family at my aunt Jaymis house and I even ended up saying the prayer for the food over the phone which was pretty cool/funny. Friday was a good day. While at Walmart finding new people to teach I met a dude named Aaron Simpkins. Way cool guy. Didn't seem too interested in our church cuz he has his own but he said he might swing around. Ended up talking to him for a while talking about anything and everything and at the end he asked me about my favorite scripture. Heleman 5:12. It's so cool that if we turn to God and strive to be close to him and follow his teachings how we will be protected from Satan. I've seen that as I've been on my mission and I know that to be true. I encourage all of you no matter where your at in your life, no matter what your going through. To turn to God in all that you do and you will truly become a more christ like/ happy person. As soon as you know for yourself that this gospel is true nothing can stand in the way of your salvation.  Nothing will get in the way of you living with your family and father in heaven. I love you all so much.  So back off topic here sorry haha. Elder larson and I found a secret hatch in one of the rooms in the church and found out how to open it and we got underneath the church and crawled around the Concrete footing. Pretty sketchy if you ask me. I also ate 43 pizza rolls that day, good diet if you ask me. Ooooo and I fed a bunch of crows at Walmart pepper flakes and skittles and they pooped all over our car. Yeah it needs washed. Saturday I got mail from a few of you and you know who you are. I love you lotssssssss. Well I love you all regardless if you send me mail or not but yeah you get the point haha.  Saturday we had a baptism. I know this is a long email but stay awake for this story. We got to church that morning and I forgot my tag so after sacrament meeting we ran home and got it. After the second hour we started to fill up the font with water for our friend michaels baptism. Surprisingly he wanted cold water. We started filling the font with cold water which takes Over 2 hours to fill so after the 1st hour of the ysa ward was up we checked it and it was still low so we were good to go back to class. After the second hour we checked it again still low so we turned on the freezing cold water to even it out to how blake wanted it so the water was coming out of the faucet a little bit faster. We went out to talk to everyone for not more than 15 minutes. We came back and the fault was over flowed and flooded the girls bathroom and was almost to the top of the door seal on the primary room. We stopped it right on time. So the over flow started draining it right back down, but we still had to clean up the mess in the girls bathroom. Luckily no one saw it and no one was in the bathroom so we went and locked the door and we didn't have a squeegee to clean up so I took a dust pan and started to push all of the water to the drain. Surprisingly it cleaned up really good. Then we took a towel and dried everything up. No one knows about this but all of you that I've emailed. Oh and elder larson but that's it so don't bring this story towards new york else I might get my fault filling privileges revoked haha. Well the baptism went really well and it was so spirit filled and he was so so happy with this decision. It made me happy too. God loves us so much and I want everyone to know that.  Today's pday consisted of buying a little cactus while waiting for the sisters to stop looking at Christmas decorations, buying hats at the mall, playing dance dance 3, guitar hero, and several different racing games. BTW My car on the game was a 2013 Subaru wrx pretty typical chase car but I think they are my favorite believe it or not. It was a good day. I love you all and I'm excited to see what this week brings. Talk to you next week. Love~ Elder Coca-Cola

Can't forget the most ricer Toyota I've ever seen displayed in the Walmart parking lot. Also I talked to a little Hispanic guy about his 3rd Gen Cummins after he declined my invite to church. He then asked if I wanted to buy it and I told him it's probably worth maybe 20k. He then told me he could get 35k for it and I told him he was Loco. Not actually but that's what was running through my head. Anyways Goodnight  yall it's 10:34 pm here.
