so ya i'm just chillin here in atlanta, it's really sweet. there's tons of spanish people! it's cool cause they're from like all over. it's awesome though cause i'm starting to like understand people after just a week here. i dont speak much when we teach but i bare my testimony so tahts all good right? :) haha but anywho. my new companions name is Elder Adams. he's sweet he's from sandiego and he's like really really good at spanish, like better than all the other missionaries. people think he's actually from out of the states it's funny. people like ask where he's from and he says he's from honduras and they believe it cause he talks just like a honduran. but ya, tons has already happened it's so freaking cool! we taught this one kid who's way interested, he came to church and he's pretty much getting baptized. but we dont know if he can cause he's on probation for a drive by shooting. he's in a gang called vato loco's. they're nuts, but all his gang members are in jail right now cause the drive by, he was only in jail for a month cause they couldn't find the prints on his gun, funny huh? so he's way interested. then we taught this black guy, in english which was weird, and he was way religious he like started claping his hands praising jesus, it was funny, then we had him pray at the end and he had us all stand in a big circle and hold hands while he prayed like yelling "OH LORD JESUS! THANK YOU FOR THESE WONDERFUL MEN OF GOD, BLESS THEY'RE SOULS!" it was funny he said a bunch of stuff i was laughing so hard. but all is well here, i finally got my luggage and stuff so that is nice. ya. there's been way cool experiences. i live in tucker right now and were white washing in so tahts been really tough. our area is like way huge. we drive around so much. there's four people living in the apartment and it's a two person apartment, we actually live outside our area, weird huh? but ya, me and my companion have to sleep on these air mattresses cause we dont have beds taht stinks! it's alright though. we go knockin doors everyday and it's funny if we knock on a persons door who's not latino or doesn't speak spanish we just say wanna be baptized! haha then ask is there's latinos that live there. we dont teach in english usually. it's really cool, i'm lovin it. i'm havin the best of times i really love it here! hope all is well back in wonderful utah! it's going super great here in the ATL!!!
