This last week was pretty crazy. We had zone conference and Elder
Texiera was there from the 70. He spoke to us a lot about getting
referrals from members and amis. He also spoke a lot about talking with
everyone and getting as many contacts as possible. So that was really
cool to have him there and I learned a lot!
Last week I also got to have an authentic Iraqi Dinner. Ghazwan cooked for us it was pretty tasty! I have pictures so I will send those out. We also got pics with sheets they wear so that's cool--I am now a sheet head haha! I have learned a ton about Iraq. He will be around so I am hoping to meet up with him tomorrow for a little bit.
Tomorrow I have a split with Elder Gibson in Namur. I am dreading it because he has only been out for about 3-4 months and its in Namur so I am kinda in charge so that will be interesting. We have made progress with another guy named Abdel. He is from Iraq too and left because he was investigating the Protestant church. The ward here must think we go to the mosque and contact everyone from Iraq. Shako Mako means what's up in Iraqi so that will not be very useful thing for you all to know! But anyways, he has been attending church and we just taught him about baptism so I think we will challenge him next time we go see him. He is already tight with some people in the ward so I think he will keep progressing for sure. I am also sending a picture of Elder Adams and I and a guy named Patrick. He is a convert of 7 years and eats lunch with us every Thursday. He also goes with us when we teach sometimes. It's awesome because he was a practicing Catholic and everyone here is Catholic so he relates really well to people.

That's pretty much the schpeel for last week. It was kind of
a rough week and I am struggling a bit with the language, I want to
get to the point where it all clicks and I can really talk to the people
and really be myself around them.
Well things are going along hope you are all well! People keep asking about Romney and Obama-- whats up with that???
Love ya all hope everything is going great!
