Marituba 8

U (sent May 7)
Dear people,
This week nothing really has happened out of the ordinary.  We worked and helped people.  Monday we had a service project and we basically weeded someone's lawn and helped mix and pour cement.  It was good; we worked hard and after they fed us lunch so it was worth it.  
A funny thing that happened this week was that when we were going to a house of one of the people we were teaching, her kid that maybe is like 4 was playing soccer in the street, and when we passed by was super excited to see us, and then after we passed by we heard him tell everybody "that guy is from North Korea" and everyone was like "really wow!!" We weren't sure if he was talking about me or my companion because both of us don't look anything like a North Korean.  Also lots of people like to ask me if they have memes in the U.S. and that question always makes me laugh and I say, "yes of course they have memes in the U.S."  
On a more spiritual note we started teaching a friend of one of the church members and he is really cool and wants to be baptized and we are going to work with him and help him to be baptized the last Saturday of the month so that should be fun.  He is really cool and excited. I guess my spiritual thought of the week would be sometimes no matter how much faith we have and how much we pray for something sometimes we wont get what we were asking for. Sometimes things end up different and everyone has their free agency to choose and we can't change that.
Love,
Elder Holcomb
P.S. if you don't get the subject figure it out
