Elder Dixon's Mission : New area, Pro Cleaners and lots of Investigators

So this week has been another fun week!

Elder Taylor and I decided to try a new part of our area no missionaries have ever been. It was fun to see the little kids going wow.. look it is a white boy.. and it was so funny we were passing this group of kids making a fire and one kid yelled out "Aye Aye white boy come jump in the fire gasa and you will look black like us." She started to laugh. These kids are so funny here.

Another thing was that President came to check on our branch this Sunday. So he was at church. The meeting was great both president and his wife spoke to us. Then after we went on our way to go to work all afternoon. But about an hour in Elder Smith calls and says that president is going to check my apartment in about 15 minutes. Me and Elder Taylor looked at each other and our mouths dropped. Because we were up clear at the top of this hill and about a 30 minute walk from our apartment. And our apartment was a mess!!! and we had not washed dishes all week! So Elder Taylor and I ran as fast as we could down the hill through town and back to the apartment. I bet we looked so funny to everyone having two white boys running in church clothes through town! Well we made it back before he got there. We then went on to clean as fast as possible and I have never washed dishes so fast. Then right as pres knocked on the door we grabbed our scriptures to look like we were just studying. hahahah He came in and inspected the apartment. He said it was one of the best and most clean ones he has ever seen. We were like haha thanks pres, we work hard to keep it clean 😉

Also this week have have taught some really cool people. We taught Vernon who was in a huge gang fight and 30 of his friends were killed. He has 7 gun shot wounds but still alive. We taught him about the Anti-Nephi Lehis and how they buried their weapons of war and didn't fight back. I think it really clicked in his brain and so he promised he would not retaliate. And it's awesome to see because his life is really changing and he has been reading the Book of Mormon.

Another investigator's name is Denise. She is awesome! We have taught her twice and she loves everything we have shared. She can't believe that we are still virgins though!

One day we were out contacting and we were teaching this 14 year old girl and she was really interested.. then we heard the shower stop inside.. and her dad came out. Then he went on cussing us out. He told us that our bull..f..s..white..European Jesus is not the true Jesus. And that Jesus is black. We get that a lot here!

Well other than that our week went great. Studies have been amazing! I finished D&C and also Mathew in the New Testament. My goal is to finish the New Testament in about 3 weeks.

Other than that me and Elder Taylor work well together. Oh and something cool is that I found flat bread so I make egg white sandwiches in the mornings and it is so amazing!!!

Well I love hearing from you all! and miss you guys!

Love Elder Dixon
