Spanish Spanish Spanish

So this week has been pretty slow just knocking on a lot of doors
trying to get in contact with some people. And yet it seems like no
ever answers the door. It surprises me how often people say "ya I'm
always home just stop by sometime." And then we knock five different
times five different days at five different times of the day and they
are never home... it's like they are trying to avoid us or
something... hahaha

So as I've said before there are a lot of Spanish speaking people out
here. So me and Elder Cooper have a hard time communicating sometimes
but we have been learning because the walk elders are Spanish
speaking. So with the walk elders we have been visiting this family
named the Gomezs they are less-active but are starting to come back
the parents speak very little English but the kids who want to be
baptized speak English so we teach the kids while the walk elders
teach the parents. It works pretty good it's been fun because I heard
rumors about how Spanish families feed people and I have been hungry
lately so I put it too the test they said how about we make you some
tacos one night so we set up a time for dinner tonight for tacos at
their house!!! They asked "How many tacos can each of you eat?" I
replied as many as you can make! So the challenge is on! I'm planning
on eating at least 15 tacos! I'm pretty excited for tonight!

So we got a new walk Elder in the area and one of his first days he
suggests that all 4 of us go on a cleanze again... so apparently we
are all going on another cleanze to start eating healthier. So this
time I am actually going to try because I haven't been eating the best
and I want to start eating healthier and start to form good habits
now. It also didn't help that I was fighting doing this cleanze and
then we went to church and our Sunday school lesson was on the Lords
law of health... basically saying we need to take good care of what we
put into our bodies. So I basically got rebuked by the spirit! But now
I'm 100% in!

Another funny story is apparently little kids both love me and hate
me! I don't get it... I think I'm too much like my father. The little
kids get excited and yell "look its Elder Swisher! Get him!" And so
they are excited but then they attack! It's hard to do anything
because I'm a missionary so I just have to take it so almost every
Dinner appointment or every Sunday I get attacked! The other 3
missionaries just laugh the entire time and encourage the kids to beat
me up more!

Well I'm so sorry for no pictures this week like I said it was a slow
week. But I promise I will have pictures for all of you next week!
Love and miss you all!
