Elder Braxton Ropelato: Working Hard

Working Hard

Elder Ropelato is still working really hard. They aren't seeing a lot of success right now, but continue to plant the seeds. At one of the mission conferences Braxton's Mission President complimented him on his Spanish. It made Braxton feel good since he thinks the progress is so slow. Braxton really enjoyed his President because he could understand him.

(I don't know when this picture was taken, but it is in an old pool hall, something you'd see in a movie Braxton thought)

Braxton has decided it's the grease from the taco's that is making him sick, not the brains and intestines.

Braxton's Bishop is a clown and was showing them magic tricks and stuff. Then he took them to get hamburgers. Braxton really likes his Bishop and thinks he is a cool guy.

The funny thing for this week is that Braxton fell out of his bed. He said it was like 4:00 in the morning and he just fell out. His comp woke up and looked over to check on him and then they just both laughed and went back to sleep. Braxton said that hasn't happened since like kindergarten and it kind of hurt because it is just tile floors.

(this is Braxton in a school uniform. He bought it because it reminded him of Colin Cox,)

Elder Ropelato is doing great and he is having fun!
