So this week was pretty good.
On Tuesday we had a good lesson with
Hna. Martinez. We talked about the Book Of Mormon and the importance of reading
it and we promised her that if she would commit to reading the Book of Mormon
everyday she would have more strength and energy to get up and go to church.
But with the craziness of the week and we were never able to follow up and she
didn't come to church so maybe next week. Also we uh caused a car accident
haha. We were riding down the street and we came to a parking lot and normally I
go behind the first car that's waiting but this guy put his car in reverse and
bumped into the car behind him. and Me quede como "Dang?!". ( And I
was like "Dang!?"). It wasn't that bad he just sort of tapped him we
kept going though because I didn't want to get involved.
Wednesday. We went and tried to
visit a couple people in the morning and as we were heading to our next house
my tire started to go flat. Which I thought was really weird because I didn't
run over anything. But it seemed kind of slow so I figured that maybe the slime
could seal it and I could pump it up after our next appointment so I stopped
and got off and put some more air in just so I could make it and when i got
back on within 3o seconds the tire was completely flat. So we walked back to
the apartment, cause we were still pretty close and I was able to fix it. It
turns out that the stem had broken. So that was fun. We had dinner with Monica
that night. It was Pozoli, which was a little insane since it was like 100
degrees outside >.< But the Pozoli was really good. We ate Taquitos with
it.
Thursday. Was super weird.
Everything just sort of fell through around 3:30 before we finished weekly
planning. So we went to our dinner and everything was good but then when we
came out of dinner my tire was flat. So we got a ride over to the old apartment
and I was able to get a tube off of an old bike. But really we didn't teach
anyone. We had to fix some stuff on Elder Juarez's bike too and that took
forever and so yeah. The day just sort flew past us :/
Friday. So Friday we decided to go
walk. It was hot. Like Super hot. Way to demasiado hot >.< But we found
some good potentials and also some referrals for the English missionaries. So
that was cool. I got super sun burned though :/ We basically didn't see anyone
for most of the day. But we had a really cool experience. So during weekly
planning we planned to have somebody else on date for next week and we didn't
have a name but we decided to pick a date for this person we were going to
find. Then we are riding not sure what to do and Elder Juarez suggests going to
try someone we had met a while back. So we went and he was home and he let us
in and we shared Because He Lives and he really enjoyed it and they we invited
him to be baptized and he said yes and then we invited him for August 15, the
day we had planned for and he accepted. it was pretty crazy! Super cool
experience how the Lord prompts us and guides us. After that we didn't have much
else until we went out with a member that night and we helped 2 little ladies
move into a complex and they were actually interested in having missionaries
come by so we gave their info to the sisters. So we'll see what comes of that.
Saturday. So the English ward was
putting on a Pancake Breakfast so we went. It was ok. We went at 11 because
they said they'd be making pancakes from 8-12 but they had stopped a while
before we got there so we each got one and there was like nobody there. So we
decided to go walking again. That was really good. We met a cool guy named
Carlos Santos, he is a trucker, but really humble and receptive. Its really
annoying that so many of the best people are truckers and so they are almost
never home. But i figured out I'm probably gonna feel pretty
uncomfortable in an English ward to start off. They are just so different. But
we'll see how it goes. We also had a cool lesson with the Sanchez Family. We
used the Bible and Book of Mormon and they took it very well. Their questions
were pretty focused and they were able to understand what we were sharing
with them. Hna has been reading and praying about the Book of Mormon so we just
need to get them to church. Hopefully this next week. After that we went to our
ward mission leaders house for correlation but he wasn't there and then the
sisters called and told us he had cancelled the meeting and dinner so we rode
up to Subway and had dinner and then headed to the apartment to start putting
the area book into the iPad. That took forever. In the 3 hours we only got like
5 records done. This is going to take forever since an area book can have
upwards of 100-150 if its been kept well. So we'll see how that goes the next
couple weeks haha
Sunday. Was pretty good. Nobody came
to church but we had a good lesson from bishop about making our Sacrament
Meetings more spiritual and we watched a video from part of the training that
was given in prep for General Conference. We had dinner with the Rosas family
and it was really good. Carne Asada, and they had a salsa that they said was
super spicy but I tried it and I couldn't taste anything but tomato and then
the hna. tried it and she got burned a little. It was pretty funny. Then we
went to the Fireside and it was pretty good. I've been teaching myself how to
play Nearer My God to Thee on the piano so I was playing that hymn over and
over and I guess everyone thought I could play the piano because they started
and announced the first hymn and looked at me to play and I was like I only
know that one hymn. So we sang accapella. The fireside was good the youth spoke
about the importance of education. And well that was the week.
I know this church is true. I know
we are lead by a living prophet. I know God is our loving Heavenly Father and
that Jesus Christ is our Savior. this work we are doing as missionaries is real
and important and we have to work hard and never stop working to bring others
unto Christ. There is no way to heaven but by Jesus Christ. Let us work
diligently and invite all we know to come, see, and experience the Restored
Church of Jesus Christ.
I love you all have a great week!
