Hot Days...Hot Wings...

hello people!
it was a hot one here in south texas. we had our first two days of 100 degrees this week. it just gets hotter and hotter. we were out knocking doors at like 7:30 the other night and it was 96. pretty crazy. all in all it's not too bad though. i'd still rather suffer the heat than scrape ice off of cars and bear an 8 month winter in utah. we'll see if i'm still singing that tune after 7 months of 100 degrees though...
this week we (investigator frank and his family, member family Gibsons, me and sis. kellett) went to a place called buffalo wild wings. perhaps you have heard of it. they offer this challenge where if you can eat 12 of their most spicy wings in under six minutes you get your picture on this wall of fame and a t-shirt. so frank and the gibson boy who is 16 wanted to try it and we all went along for a laugh. i have never seen two sixteen year old boys cry in my life... let alone wimper like little babies. but it happened. i have it on video. tears were streaming and they were sobbing and saying things like.. "i never should have done this!!" ha. and to make it worse, neither of them completed the challenge. frank had one left. the manager of the restaurant yelled after to everyone in the place, "everyone.. i have an announcement, frank and jared just miserably failed the wild wing challenge!" ha. so funny.
sister kellett and i taught like 13 lessons to less active members this week. usually people only do like 4 or 5 max in a week here... we did 13. but the fruits of our labors paid off when 7 of them came to church. some of them we had never even seen at church before, it had been so long. it was awesome. and goes to show that some people just need a little encouragement and someone to show they love them.
that's about all i have for this week. except if you want some crazy news, google the stuff that is happening in nuevo laredo right now. that's the mexico city that we border. 10 minutes from where i live. it's pretty dangerous over there. i never really knew because we don't watch the news... anyway... i'm being careful.
transfers are next week. i've already been in the field for two transfers. crazy. hasta next week...
