Anyway just going to hit some of the highlights of the week! I have
discovered that I donot know the bible that well. A member came with us to help
teach a girl whose mom is a JW. She wants a lot of the answers from the bible
and well yeah I need to work on that area of my gospel knowledge. He whipped out
a ton of scriptures and just gave her the truth. Obviously without contention
but did a really good job helping her feel the spirit too. Thanks ex
missionaries for always giving us an extra boost haha
We had our last district meeting as well this district. We were all
trainers and trainies. We are starting week 12. I cant believe it. How is it
possible? who knows! It's most likely that this is my last week here in Los
Pinos. Oh man I cant express how grateful I am for this area. I have truly
learned to love the people. I was born here and the amount I have improved is
incredible. I can only really give credit to God for that. Our cambios are next Monday but we'll know this Sunday. Im a bit nervous but I know there are more
people the Lord has prepared for me in another area. If it be his will to go,
you bet I'll be there doing his work.
We ate with our 2 investigators and their mom this week. So kind. But I
seriously felt like it was my first week again because they were talking about
food and everything that wasnt in my vocabulary. It's a nice reminder that I
still have to study to improve even more!
Thursday we ran into some interesting people. We contacted a person who
believes in La Santa Muerte. Scary stuff. Definitely something to advoid 100%. I
would take a picture of a giant Santa Muerte but it's not respectful and in all
honesty it gives me the heeby jeebies. Also saw another old contact. We went to
go teach him for once and okay here is something that just makes me feel like a
terrible person. usually we shake hands normally. He knows that. Its always been
that way but this ONE time he did a hand shake with a kiss on the cheek like
normal people. We do it with women but they are WOmen! it came out of no where.
usually I'm 100% prepared with a stiff arm but when someone knows better, I
assumed it wasnt necessary. Boy was I wrong. I was in shock.my companion was in
shock and We were like joseph in egypt and fled that place. no worries mom. we
are NOT going to return. People are nuts. Like HELLO we are representatives of
Jesus Christ! People don't touch me.
Anyway, this week was super wonderful with general conference. I would love
to mention a ton of
things I learned but I actually didn't bring my little
notebook. I encourage all of you to watch it if you didnt get the chance or if
you fell asleep because it was super duper fantastic. I know that when I return
the temple will be the first thing I visit. How blessed we are to have a place
to be protected from the world. I am so grateful we have a living prophet. I
sustain him and support him. I believe his words and those of the apostles
because I know there are the words of God.
Oh yeah finsihed the BOM just before we left to watch conference (yes in
english) and completed the missions goal! I know that book is true with all of
my heart.
I hope you all have a great week!!! love you!!
