Hey everybody,
This week was amazing, and filled with a lot of crazy times.
I'll start with the spiritual and make my way to the funny. This Friday I found
the truth behind Doctrine and Covenants 100:6 6 For it shall be given you in the very hour, yea, in the very moment, what ye shall say. Me and my companion out of the blue decided to pass by an investigator we
hadn't visited in over a month. She was always skeptical about baptism, her
husband and 2 of her kids are active members, and so she had been taught for
about 1.5 years, and we weren't sure what to teach her. We made a plan to teach
her the restoration. But we sat down, and as we opened our mouths the Lord had
other plans, the words came out in abundance as we went off a 30 minute
spiritual roller coaster. Me and my companion had no communication, but we
taught in the same direction, we had scriptures pop into our head, and the
spirit was with us. I was on the brink of bawling, my companion had tears in
his eyes, and our investigator felt the spirit so strong she couldn't even speak
when we asked her how she felt, but instead just cried. Verse 8 of that same
chapter was also fulfilled 8 And I give unto you this promise, that inasmuch as ye do this the Holy Ghost
shall be shed forth in bearing record unto all things whatsoever ye shall say. I know the lord filled my mouth, with the things I needed to
teach, and then testified unto our investigator through the power of the holy
ghost and that each of you can feel this power of the Holy Ghost when you live
worthily!
Also this week, we had out multi-zone conference with
president, my very last one with president Rasmussen. I also got a shot for
Influenza, and that left my arm hurting for a few days.
Funny story, so me and my companion had been eating a lot of
food, and our stomachs had been hurting us a lot, so we came up with the
brilliant idea, lets just buy laxatives, and it will just clean us out. So we
get to the pharmacy, and we both forgot the word for laxative. So me and my
companion for about 5 minutes tried to explain to the poor lady what we were
looking for. And she didn't understand anything. We just kept asking for pills
that help clean your stomach, or pills for when you eat a lot of food and get
rid of it. After 5 minutes she brought out these pills and said they were the
ones, we didn't understand anything on the box but thought they looked right, so
we bought them and took them... they worked.
Also we have a DVD player in our room, and I used it to
watch a Mormon message then just left it sitting there, and then came the DVD logo
that slides around the screen, hitting the edges. And it reminded me of the
office episode when they all just sat there waiting to see it hit the corner.
So I very quickly got addicted, and sat their staring at the screen, then I got my companion addicted, and for 10 minutes during our study we watched the
screen, and it finally hit the corner and we lost our minds, it was fun.
Today we had a fun experience, we were sitting in a moto, driving to the car place to return back to pueblo nuevo, and all of the sudden another moto pulls of in front of us, and we tried stopping but we ended up t-boning the side (at probably 30 km). It was quite the experience. The drivers exchanged a few unpleasant words, and were both on their way, both with significant damage.
I also had to give a talk this Sunday, it turned out pretty
well, talks are always really fun!
Also world cup fever here is off the walls, everybody is
watching of talking about it. It is very hard to avoid the games, especially
when everything is crazy. Renaldo with a hat trick and a free kick in the 91st
minute. Argentina tying, and Messi missing the penalty. Peru losing but
missing the penalty kick. Brazil not winning, Russia winning 5-0. and Germany
losing. Everybody is off the walls, I love it!
That's about it for the week, everyday was the best day
ever!!
