A Lot of Walking and Knocking (well, clapping) at Doors with a Lot of Rejection

First off, Hermana Squire is absolutely fantastic!  President wants to make sure that she doesn't get trunky.  Which I think that´s pretty funny because then she gets put with someone from her home ward.  Yeah, it´s all a little interesting how everything works out like that.  We have been doing pretty well this week, despite the ongoing sicknesses.  Although, we do manage to have some fun still! 

There are a lot of awesome people that live here!  The other day, we got a referral from the missionaries in Santa Rosa that talked to this man who was interested.   So we stopped by the house, and we start talking to this guy.  He seemed really interested and told us to come back at 5:30.  So at 5:30, we went back to the house and knocked on the door.  A younger guy answered the door, and told us that his dad is only home from 1:00-4:00.  We were just like, "Okay, obviously he doesn't have any interest, but just wanted to be nice to us."  We shrugged our shoulders and left.  The next day, we were in our apartment about to go out and work, and I just started craving an Alfajor.  Alfajores are absolutely delicious (FYI).  So we left, and walked into the closest store, and we saw the guy.  He was just like "Hey, how come you never came over... Do you have time now?"  We looked at our planners to realize that our plans were to go tracting in the freezing cold rain.  Needless to say, it was pretty easy to change our plans.  We taught him, and his family, and it was pretty awesome.  Even though they don´t speak Spanish too well.  They are from Bolivia and speak one of the indigenous languages there.  We really don´t know completely what will happen, but we will find out. 

It´s a lot of walking and knocking (well, clapping) at doors with a lot of rejection, but that´s okay!  It´s all still pretty great!
