The rain is back but you already know, your boys are still grinding down here in paradise. This week was another one for the books. And just to explain the title right off the bat, we all make mistakes. From me deciding it would be a good idea to try and cut my own hair, to our blind friend Jorge saying he wanted to see a baptism firsthand before he decides to get baptized. But the point is even if you mix up the words for tired and married in a lesson, you gotta work like a dog. Which is what my title says in English. Walking through the crooked, crowded, broken streets of Apopa this week in the pouring rain with Elder Herrera we couldn't help but smile at one point. Because yeah its true, theres gonna be rain but hey that just means we don't have the sun beating down on us. And we realized something, either way rain or sun, we are gonna end up wet. Be it sweat or be it rain, at the end of the day we end up soaked so we might as well work like dogs. This week brought its ups and lows and its always sad when someone decides that they don't want to talk to us anymore but we stay working. And yeah 3 people proposed marriage to my companion and I but we didn't let that get in the way either. But to be real, the highlight of the week was when Gringo Messi made a comeback. We were walking through a kind of back alley kinda place and we came by a soccer court. There was like 8 guys playing there so we decided to go make a deal. Its been a while since Elder Gringo Messi Moulton came to play but this week we decided to challenge these 8 dudes. The deal was I had 3 chances to score a goal from the entrance of the court. . .pretty far away. My first try was like 15 feet wide and frankly an embarrassment to my family, my companion, Eastlake High athletics, and just about everyone else I have ever known or loved. But I said a lil prayer and the next two rolled in with a classic missionary blessing finish. Sadly, they didn't follow through and we didn't see them at church this week but hey, gotta keep working like a dog. Keeping it short this week but hope everyone has a great next 7 days.
SALUD
Elder Moulton
