Well, as the title suggests this week was much less perfect as last
week. We had 5, what seemed to be perfect golden, baptizms that all
fell, either family, work or other "commitments" Got into the way and so
they all fell. The good news though was that they all said they would
still do it, they just had to push it off a week.
Yeah, I have started reading the Libro de Mormon in Spanish and
underlining anything that I dont understand, and the translating it and
finding out why it is said like that. Its helping alot and I am learning
lots of words! I know it will come!
Yeah, our investigators are keeping us busy, but we want more! The
thing is, if you stop looking for more, you will run into a dry spill of
no investigators and no baptizms. So the work is always going!
Spiritual experience this week was pretty cool, and I cant remember
if I told you everything, but we were teaching one of our baptizms and
he sees visions. As we were teaching hime Joseph Smith he said the room
glowed bright and he could feel a giant fire within himself. We
explained to him this was the spirit and that it was testifying to him
of the truthfulness of these things He then told us that he knew this is
where he needed to go and said he will get baptized no matter what
happens. Really cool guy, too. We also told him that the Holy Ghost will
help him to interpret these visions he is having and so that just added
to the good!
I reeeeeeaaaaallllly hope you got to go to Conference, it was
awesome, yet again! Learned a ton on things I cna change to benefit the
outcome of my mission and experiences. So if you didnt I highly
recommend watching them online, or reading the talks. The only bad part,
is I had to watch the Sunday morning session in Spoanish so I didnt
learn alot there, still cool though. The other coll thing about
Conference is it gave us 5 chances in one weekend to bring someone to
church, so we got a bunch to church this weekend!
Wierd food I had this week! Tacos de Barbacoa (I think that is
howyou say it.) IT is basically goat meat. It was alright though, not as
bad as I thought it was going to be. As usual, tasted like chicken!
Funny story! So we were in a lesson and I was leading the lessson,
and asked Elder Barben to say the prayer, so he started and instead of
saying "Querido Padre Celestial" (Dear Heavenly Father) he said "Buenos
Tardes" (Good afternoon) after he said it he could not stop laughing,
and the investigator and I were holding back our laughs as well, super
funny though! And we just kept laughing about it all the rest of the
day!
Not so interesting, but still news is the mission had a
mission-wide basketball tournament and our zone got second place. No I
did not play, but Barben did. Placement was based on baptizms and
numbers like that, so it was cool, motivated those who enjoy basketball
alot to work harder.
Well, PICTRUES!
Not many, all of just centro and the main downtown MC area. PRetty coll, most of those buildings are supppppper old!
Love you all so much and keep up all the good work!
Les amo
