Anyways, so as I told everybody in my last email, Sister Gallegos left for Utah to help her daughter out with something. So she has been gone the past 2 weeks now, and it has been so lonely without her there. I don't know what I'm going to do if I get transferred, I'm going to miss having her around all the time. But good news is that she comes back this Saturday, I cant wait! :)
Anyways, So this past week has been really interesting. To start, a member takes us to this place called crave Burger, I think I told you about it in my last email but it's this famous Burger joint that sells outrageous burgers! The burger I decided on was the luther, where they replace the buns with 2 glazed donuts! I took pics so you guys can probably check them out on my blog (See below), it's something you won't want to miss! But my companion has been preparing to do their ultimate food challenge called the big bad world! Basically you have to eat these 3 huge burgers with all different kinds of meat such as the burger patty, ham, shredded pork, brisket, and tons of onion shreds on it! You have to eat them in under 45 minutes and if you do, you wont have to pay for the meal which is $25, you get your pic up on the winners wall and get a free t shirt. If you lose, you have to pay and your pic goes up on the loser board. Needless to say, he lost unfortunately, but he was so close! He finished the first 2 burgers in 11 minutes, never have I seen anybody down their food that fast! But he hit the wall on the third one. He just had a few bites left on the third one but he said if he took another bite it would all come back up. :/ I was pretty dang proud of him though for eating as much as he did, what a champ! The worst part was is that we went to go play volleyball with the youth after that. But it ended up being an awesome night! :)
Work has been really tough lately, we have been trying to work with Curtis and get him to come to church but he never feels well. :/ And supposedly he might be moving to Denver for a surgery, please keep him in your prayers, he really doesn't want to.
However we did have a really good lesson with our other investigator, John Rendin! I don't know if I ever told you about him, he investigated the church years ago and we decided to stop by and see if he's ready to receive the gospel now. He loves talking with us, and we just cleared up his questions that he had. It was a good meeting and we are going to meet with him again this Friday! :)
We have also been able to work with a lot of less actives this past week which was really nice. Met a lot of people I haven't met before and not only that but we are having dinner with one of the families tonight! Hopefully we can get them to come to church because they are an awesome family.
Sorry I need to keep this a little short because I'm about to head out to finally see more of colorful Colorado! My companion and I are going to Garden of the Gods with a member in our ward! For those that don't know what it is, it's hard for me to explain just Google image it, its super pretty! :) (http://www.gardenofgods.com/) I promise I'll get pics for all of you! :D
Anyways, I love and miss all of you and hope you have a great week!
