So
this week has been pretty good. Not like tons and tons and tons happened. But
some fun interesting stuff happened.
For
instance I tried cucumber juice on Tuesday. It was ok... Ok no it was straight
up gross. But a member offered it to me. All I asked for was water. But
whenever you say agua they bring you juice or soda. Because agua means any and
every liquid except water and then also nobody ever wants to give you tap water
because it’s bad for you. I fill my glass from the tap at members houses and
they sometimes yell at me but I like the taste of tap water. But anyway. Yeah
never again. No cucumber juice for me.
Also
had mushroom and onion pizza. That was a little strange. But it was alright. We
hadn't eaten since like noon so when the hermana brought it to mutual, where we
were waiting to go on splits, we just jumped on it and ate it. I have never
shoved pizza down my throat so fast before. It was ridiculous!!! But so good!!!
Not my favorite pizza. But it’s acceptable.
We
also had a hostage situation happen in our area. So we went to a less actives
home to teach a lesson and everything is fine and dandy. The street is quiet,
the sound or police cars and ambulances can be heard in the distance but
everything was pretty calm where we were. We go in and are in there for about
30 minutes, we taught a pretty good Restoration lesson and when we come back
out it was like the world had exploded!! There was the yellow caution tape, and
a bunch of cop cars, and a swat team, and everyone was outside, and there was a
helicopter circling. We didn't hear any of it happen!!! It was super weird!! We
found out that what happened was that someone had taken hostages and was
threatening to kill them. It was pretty crazy stuff.
We
also had a miracle!!! The members gave us food!!! So much food!!!! And so we,
having not seen such kindness in almost all of our days as missionaries. We kind
of went a little crazy and had to take pictures of all the food. It was crazy.
Elder Morris and I went on splits and I went with a hermano to visit a less
active member and when we left they gave us bags and bags of food!!! It was
amazing! We got home and the other elders had gotten food from some other members
as well and we just got really excited!!!
We
also did some service helping someone recycle all their plastics and cans.
There are stations out here where you can go and recycle and they pay you for
it!!! It’s crazy!!! But we picked up like $70 worth of recyclables! Lots of
hard work but lots of fun!
Other
than that we had a small rain storm that took out some trees in the area and
power. But we had 3 investigators at church! Christina, Anna, and Carmine. They
are excited to learn more and said they'd be back next week!!! Whoo Hoo!!!!
That’s
basically been the week! I hope everyone is going great and excited about
everything that’s happening! Emily my little sister is going to college!!!!
Shout out to her!!! She's gonna be awesome!!!! Emily I got a sweet Cali Hoody
for you when you can get me your mailing address!!!
I
love you all and I miss you! But there is nothing I would rather be doing right
now then serving the Lord as a Missionary! I know this church is true and that
Jesus Christ is the head of this Church and guides it through his Prophet
Thomas S. Monson and if we follow the council that we receive from him and the
12 apostles and other leaders in the church we will be alright in the end!!
I
hope you have a great week!
