the week where i think im a miner

Hoooola Everyone!!! Long time no talk! nah just kidding its just been 8 days haha. i hope everyone is doing well and getting back to school and not stressing too hard. Well this week has been good in a bunch of ways, first off we were all able to hear from the new President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson for those that havent gotten the announcement. thats right we have a modern day prophet just like back in Bible times, theres a man with all the power and all the authority just like Moises, Abraham, Isaiah etc. so that was pretty cool.

we had the opportunity to do a bit off service at an old mans house whos half blind, we cleaned up his back lawn, took out all the weeds and brush thats grown in and i had the luck to use the pickaxe and go to town on those bushes, i had a lot of fun to say the least. 

we have a great investiagtor progressing named Genesis and she is gunna be baptized this coming sunday so thats exciting, stand by for photos! shes already asking about how she can get to the temple and even how she can serve a mission like me! it was so awesome, nearly brought tears to my eyes. 

well thats the update for the week, if anyone has questions feel free to email me personally and ill try to get back to ya!

Love, Elder Carlos Cabrera

facts of the week:

1. its nearly impossible to have a pick axe and not at least whistle if not sing the hi-ho song from Snow White

2. latinos have very mixed feelings about gringos, they either ask them a bunch of questions as if they were movie stars or they have an internal hatred toward you, either way its fun
