| Celebrating investigator's daughter's birthday party |
As far as a spiritual side of things, things are going awesome. We got invited to one of our investigator's daughter's birthday parties and we ended up being the only people who had showed up at the time even though it already started. It's been awesome to be able to work with them. We also had zone conference this week and learned a lot about being bold but loving.
Transfer calls came out this week! Both Elder Shah and I will be staying out here in San Juan. We are getting another Elder in the house though because Elder Cook is going home tomorrow.

This week was kind of crazy though. Or should I say the people we talked to were pretty insane this week. It's always the craziest conversations we have on the buses or at the bus stops. It's different every single time too. The weirdest one was when we talked to these guys who my companion is thoroughly convinced are Russian spies or something. We were talking to this pretty cool college student at the bus stop at the end of our day when this guy walks up to us, and in the heaviest Russian accent ever asks us (in English) where the bus is going. We tell him, and then immediately after walks over to this other Russian dude and has a small conversation with him (they were facing away from each other the whole time), after which they pretend like they don't know each other. We were talking with the guy on the bus though and he was lying about absolutely everything though. He also said he was Puerto Rican and had learned Russian when he made a short trip over there. His Spanish was so bad though, there is absolutely no way it could have been true. Either way we were getting some funky vibes from the dude.
Funniest part by far of the week was the English class we had to teach though. We talked with him on the bus for like 3 minutes, and got his phone number. We ended up setting up a time to meet up with him at Plaza las Americas (the biggest mall out here in the Caribbean) to help teach him some English. He ends up being super late, and every time we call him he tells "Estoy llegando ahora mismo" or that he's arriving right now. This keeps happening and we end up waiting like an hour and decide to just leave. As we're walking through the mall though with thousands of people he see's us and calls us over. He then starts walking us over to the food court. This guy was kind of a weird dude. The whole time he didn't say like a word to us. When we got there he said "teach me." So we started to teach him and he starts asking us what parts of the body are in English (like head and arm and stuff). Every time he repeats the word over and over.
