Semana 37- The one with the army veteran

Hola everybody!

Funny thing happened this week. We were knocking doors and we came up to this door and it had a sign on it that said:
                       ARMY VETERAN ON MEDICATION
                          :FOR YOUR PROTECTION
But I was feeling prompted to knock on this door. So I just said " Well, this looks promising" and knocked. A tall man with a beard and pony tail in about his 50's wearing  boxers and an under shirt comes out. So we greet him, ask him how he's doing. He says "We'll I'm in my underwear in front of two pretty ladies, how do you think I'm doin'?" He went back into his house to put some shorts on and came back out and we talked with  him for nearly a half hour about his life and he was super awesome and funny! We left him with a Plan of Salvation pamphlet. He  was english, so if he ever wants to learn more, the english elders will get to teach him! I just hope we were able to help him in some way by talking and listening to him!
What else happened??
I got completely stuffed on Saturday! Carmen and Octavio invited us to a barbecue for lunch, which actually turned out to be an early dinner because of how long it took! After that we had to rush over to the member's place for dinner, and at first the lady had forgotten to give me my food, but I was thinking" tender mercy of the Lord! " Hermana Williams and I can share her plate so we don't both explode!" But then our District Leader noticed and before I had the chance to tell him no he calls out that I need a plate. And so the sister brings me a plate totally loaded (more than the others, I think it was her way of compensating for forgetting) with beans and rice and carne asada which I had just eaten my fill of not even an hour ago. I just glared daggers at this elder. But after he realized what he had done, he quickly ate his plate and we did a swap. So I guess he's ok.
Earlier that day after doing service for our ward mission leader we were fed chicken and rice and beans and tortillas at 10:30 in the morning.
Do not ask me my weight. I will lie.
 Well I've gotta go! The missionaries of our zone are all going to this member's house who apparently lives in a mansion, and will be serving lunch.
I love Mondays.
I love you all even more!
Have a good week and I'll see some of you pretty soon! (mothers day! woop woop!)

Taught W.o.W. to Carmen and Octavio, so they gave us their coffee to dispose of!
