Sucks about the rain- haha.
Everything is good here I guess. I am just really tired. The time change
got to me as well. We did have an investigator show up to church
yesterday and he really liked it. His name is Manuel and he is sweet!.
The down side is that he has cancer and he is really confused about
baptism. We are working with him though as well as his wife. She cracks
me up because he is the type of person that beats around the bush when
he is asking us a question and she will just butt in and get mad at him
and get him to ask us straight up. It seems like she understands it
better than he does, but we can't tell how interested she is.
Thanks for the package. I'm not gonna lie though,
you got to quit sending me candy- haha. I did like the CD's it is just
President is getting strict on what type of church music just so that we
can keep the spirit with us. I'm gonna ask him about some of them but
others I'm gonna have to send home for sure- haha. I have stuff I need
to send home anyways, it is just that I have some things I need to do
before I send them home. Its a secret/surprise for you and dad. I'm not
sure how long it will take, but I will get it to you guys.
Again nothing has really happened this week. I did
have a cool experience on Friday though. Something that I am working on
is finding by the Spirit because it is easy just to knock doors, but it
takes work to knock on the door of a person or a family that has been
prepared by our Heavenly Father. We work diligently but now we need to
work effectively. Anyways we had some free time before dinner so we went
to walk in this neighborhood, which was weird because we only work in
apartment complexes, but I had this feeling that we should go back. So
we did. We ended up running into this guy named Angel. He was in a car
wreck and he was working on his car. We talked with him a bit and he
says to come back the next day. So we do and we teach him the Plan of
Salvation because he was asking a lot of questions about life and what
happens when we die. Wasn't a very good lesson because he kept on
interupting. He is very A.D.D., but it was good because we at least
planted a seed. He told us about how he used to do drugs and how he
wants to quit and he wanted help. When he saw us he said that he had
said "Those guys look cool. If they come and talk to me I will listen."
SICK!!!! Then he said that in the past if we were to knock on his door
or if Jehovah's Witnesses would knock he wouldn't answer. It feels
really good now thinking about it because I had acomplished a goal that I
had, which was finding by the Spirit. We had a return appointment on
Sunday and he wasn't there, but like I said at least we planted a seed
and now he knows.
I wish I could go home but it is just to see you
guys. I am happy that I am here on my mission. That is awesome that
Natalie is going on a mission! Is she speaking English? CRAZY!!!
Anyways take care and I love you guys!!! Hey what
happened to the pictures of Isabel you were going to send me? And I'm
not allowed to get on to YOUTUBE! Trying to tempt me I see haha. LOVE
YOU!!!
