No Mosquito but 1 Burrito

​Hello Friends and Family!

I had a really awesome week this week and here is why.

On Monday we had our zone P-day activity where the entire zone gets together and we do fun stuff.
After the p-day we all hit the streets of concord talking to people and inviting them to learn!
Here is where the story gets a little funny.

Elder Smith and I were walking main st of Concord and this man comes out of the store and we ask him "where is a good place to eat around here?" so he tells us about this burrito place down the street that was really good and he was going to pick up his food there. He invited us to follow him there, so we did, talking about his life etc.
We go into the burrito shop and he jumps in line to pick up his burrito. I have to be honest with all of you I had no intention of buying a burrito but I had a predicament because now I was standing in line behind this gentleman who walked us all the way here. At this point I decide that despite the fact that I had already eaten dinner at this point I was going to buy a 7 dollar burrito for the sake of the contact. Hoping that he would stick around and talk to us for a few minutes.

After I order my sweet-potato burrito with beans and cheese, I ask the man. "have you ever spoken to missionaries before?" He said "probably about six times a week, you guys are nice but I am not interested."
So there I was, defeated. With nothing to show for it but an overpriced burrito that I had no intention of eating. The moral of the story is. Make sure you invite the person to learn BEFORE you stand in line and are peer pressured into buying overpriced Mexican food.

Other than that the week was fairly normal. We had the new sisters come in. We lost sister Hyde to Vermont and Sister Hill to Maine. We got sister Tobler from the MTC and Sister Hart from Maine.
Everybody is doing really well and we had a great district meeting where we talked about the importance of inviting others to repent and come closer to Christ. That is our purpose while we are here and I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for the opportunity to be here.
That's about all that I have for this week.
love you!
