So this week was a little crazy. Friday I almost got my hand cut off by some drunk guy with a machete. I was walking down the street, on an intercombio with a missionary in my Zone, and this drunk guy stopped us on the side of the street. I had my book of Mormon in my hand, and the guy was like "this isn't a bible! Give me that book", and he tried taking my book. Well I just tried to walk away without giving him my book. So he pulled out a machete from his pants and told me to give him the book. When I tried giving it to him he swung at my arm almost cutting off my hand. So, scared to death, I threw the book at him and started walking the other way. Well then the drunk guy's brother came out and started yelling at him. So the drunk guy came running back after us to give us my book. My companion took the book because I didn't even want to go near him and we left. After that I have come to realize how important to me my arm is - and how much it would suck to loose it, but yea, that was the most interesting thing that happened this week.
Also in the mission field we are having problems with missionaries using the phones too much and abusing their internet privileges. So now every companionship has a time limit for use the phone to call other missionaries. It's a little sad but has to be done.
That was the week. Next Saturday we should have one baptism. One fell through because she didn't go to church but the other one is still going to get baptized this Saturday. o-yea! But that's it.
