*as a parent reading this.. It makes me cringe..but then I cannot help but stop and give thanks... He was kept safe, he was protected, he was not injured. His safety is ever in our prayers and those prayers were answered this week and the weeks before and the weeks to come. Faith reassures us.. We know he is where he needs to be.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel i had a crazy week.
My area is getting a tad bit dangerous.....
If you didnt know, now you know haha.
But yeah this week had something happen that id never thought would happen.... well i at least hoped it wouldnt...
Heres the story....
I was walking from one area, Lomas, to where we live.... an area called San Juan... a fenced in guarded area..... Just as we entered through a gate, i hear a bunch of gun shots go off! Machine gun stuff....
We stop and look up to see if by anyyyyyyy small chance it was fireworks.... but no lights followed up... just more gun shots... I was at a point where i could see down three streets, looking down a street that intersects all of them.
Stood there and waited to see where it was coming from... i start hearing whizzing sounds above me so we kinda duck down....
Then down the street i see a group of 5, all armed, running to the gate.... exactly where i was.... still in a gun fight....
So we lay down in the dirt behind some bushes and stuff... bullets still buzzing over and hitting nearby houses...
These guys run over, and start slipping through the gate we were just at... like some real life Call of Duty stuff.... bunch of teens all armed yeling at each other shooting back at other people... just in real life...
And just like it started, it ended.... they ran off into a different colonia like nothing ever happened.... all that was left was an innocent guy left dead 2 houses below mine.....
I layed there for a few minuets.... just realizing what had just happened, and how lucky i got....
The night ended with a pizza party so whatevs
Cops
Pizza!!
Investigators are alright
Lot of people have challenges outside of our hands that keep them from getting baptized... really frusterating to be honest.
We went to a really poor family, family of 12, to pass a happy bday to one of the daughters....
They had a bday cake.... we shared a message and all and I was with 2 other missionaries talking to the parents. The other missionaries and I didn't accept all the food and cake and soda they offered because they are really poor, and were rationing out the food to the younger kids, so we just told them we were fine with just soda.
* Here's photos of the new and improved house... It may not seem like much.. But apparently the last house was covered in mold and other horrible conditions. It was making him sick..he asked the mission President what he could do.. He was given the paperwork and told the steps to find a new place etc... He did not waste time..and found a nicer apartment with air condition ... Which is a luxury.. Electricity and running water are not even expected... He got it and cheaper than the rent on the old place.
