Hey Hey!
So this week we have had some awesome things happen,
progression in the work, and a couple fun crazy people stories.
Im loving this camio so much, me and my comp are just
working super super hard and just want to keep giving more. We have had some
awesome ideas and my comp has been awesome. Even with the trial of language we
have been able to find so many ways that we can work 50/50 and we are starting
to see the fruits of our labors, One of our investigatores came to our activity
at the church this wed!!! she came with her sister, this is the one that talks
really good english, we were stoked and she got along great with everyone, we
asked if she would get baptized and said if I recieve and answer so thats where
we are at right now super sweet, Ill put a foto of the idea we did for the
activity, we did an activity of the questions of the soul for the book of
mormon, we blew up balloons with some having questions, and they had to get in
groups and pop the balloons to find the balloons that had the questions and
find a scruipture and experience for each, it went super well and was spiritual
on top of it.
Other news we had a "special training as a couple zones
this week with president, we learned about 2 awesome things. One is a new
manual the church came out with for the missionarys, its of how to handle
stress, and gives tons of awesome ideas, I was loving the booklet, I think its
cool how the church is always giving us resources to become better, its
awesome, the manual will be an awesome source of ideas to reduce stress. And
the second part was he talked about the attributes of being a Lider A compared
to a Lider B, I loved hearing all of the experiences that our president has had
in business and that one is he told us of a very famous business man that
talked about all the success he had, and all of his success referred to the
attributes of a leader as found in DyC 121 at the end, he stated that any
business would be so much successful if liders were based on these principles
(of priesthood), and said in the church these principles are NECESSARY to have
success. Stoked to anaylsis more of how I can develop theses traits.
For some fun stories:
Trash Bag Bernadita: So I actually have no idea what this
ladies name is but we were asking all people if we could help them and we asked
this old lady that was having trouble with a huge bag. she gave me the bag and
it was super super heavy, I realized it was just full of trash, like banana
peals and wrappers and who knows what, then she started talking to me and then
the reality that hit me was she was crazy homeless lady, I also dont know how i
didnt see but in her other hand she just had a hugeee branch of a tree, So on
this main road I carried her super heavy bag of trash to another location, but
before we got to that location she had to make some pit stop at a trash bin to
snag some more trash, ha I know we need to help people but Im not sure how this
trash will help her. and thats trash bag bernadita.
weird dude: So there was a weird guy that walked straight up
to us putting out his hand asking for money making the sign in his hands for
money, being accostomed to this from los muermos I immediately took out a card
with a picture of christ, gave it to him, and without him questioning for more
or anything immediately took it and ran back to his bench, ha idk had to be
there
haha and last but not least yesterday God wanted to test to
see how I can withstand 5 min of like 5 akward moments, went to a lady that we
taught the day b4 in front of her house and her husband wanted nothing to do
with us, as I tried to take away the awkwardness another investigator that
lives in front of them saw us and after we were rejected we talked to him and
he had to get going so I said ah yeah its all good we have a cita over there,
as we were walking in that other direction another investigators that just
dropped us was out in front but the akward part was she just had a sports brah
on, the first time we passed I didnt notice and thought it would be polite to
come back and say hi for a second, but then she was embarrassed that she wasnt
wearing much clothes (even more awkward for me probly) and entered the house.
then as we were leaving that cul de saw saw the guy that we just told we had an
appointment and it was just weird so we kept walking, haha but beyond all the
awkward found a awesome family and we were able to teach them so its all about
diligence:) ha gotta love it
but yeah well take care, thanks for the photos I love that
one with the birds eye view, hope you guys keep enjoying hawaii way sweet!!!
glad blakes ok! I was praying a ton for him.
Bueno I know without a doubt this church is true and that
God is helping me every day learn and grow. I love this time, and its because
its dedicated to our lord and savior jesucristo.
Take care, love you all!!! :)
