So this week has been much less interesting but really good
at the same time! Wednesday was really
spiritual. We were in divisions a lot of
this week, so I went out with Mejia Wednesday.
We had a lesson with the family of our less active Viviana and it was
awesome because they NEVER listen. But
we taught the Plan of Salvation and they were really interested. And at the end the mom said she'd come to
church! (and she actually did!) The
other was with the daughter of our branch president Daniela. The plan was to teach The Restoration but
before we arrived at their house, I felt prompted to teach the Sabbath
Day. The lesson was so powerful, that me
and Daniela cried. But she still didn't
come to church Sunday. CURSE
AGENCY. Hahaha just kidding. But no, it's frustrating. I've also been really stressed about our
investigators. Which I guess is good
because it means I actually love them haha but it sucks too. I just want them to be HAPPY. GRR.
Something interesting was a drunk came up to me asking me if I was God
and could save him. I just said I'm a
missionary and he stumbled away. Friday
was interesting. So that morning I had
AWESOME study. Lots of personal
revelation and stuff. So we've started
talking to a lady, Gloria, who's investigating and she has WEIRD ideas. She's a perfect example of Apostasy, because
she doesn't believe in 1 church, she just worships God and Christ. She told us she thinks we can all be prophets
if we want. So we have some work to
do. Our lesson was 2 hours long. WOW.
Saturday was decent. We met with
Gloria again and answered a lot of her questions, and used the Book of Mormon
to do so. It was way cool honestly. We're trying to get her to pray about the Book
of Mormon to know it's true, because she's reading it, but she's literally so
crazy she can't receive an answer. She
said she had a dream where a voice told her "deja religión, y siga su
propia vida" which translates to "Leave religion and follow your own
life." It was honestly a "Wow Satan"
moment. So we're trying to get her to recognize
the Spirit for real. That night Viviana
had cousins over and they're investigating!
New investigators are always good!
Yesterday was pretty normal.
Attendance was much better at sacrament meeting, and Viviana's mom
came! Gloria's interesting thought
yesterday is she doesn't believe in Satan.
She thinks the devil and God are 1.
So yeah she's nuts. But we're
learning a lot teaching her so we'll keep coming back until she says something
really REALLY weird haha. So in our ward
we have over 200 inactives on a list they gave us. Yeah. Freaking
TON of inactives. So we met with one
yesterday who's been baptized for only like 3 months and they're super
nice! Their names are Ana and
Johana. Also I have a second favorite
dog after Yankee. He's this big old dog named Ruffles and he just strolls into
the house of our Branch president uninvited and refused to leave without
food. He's my hero. It's happened 4 or 5 times while I've been in
their house and that's just while I'm there.
So its pretty common haha. Anyway
yeah, that's my week. Not much going on
right now. Just working hard to find
nuevo investigadores!
Les amo!

From Jake: "I uploaded my photos today and also a sound file of me
singing Nearer My God to Thee in Spanish this morning! Thought you might enjoy it :)"
hasn't even tried to clean it and
"I'm gonna wash this shirt myself just so they don't waste their time"
(meaning the sister who does their wash, haha)
"I'm gonna wash this shirt myself just so they don't waste their time"
(meaning the sister who does their wash, haha)
I know. Shouldn't I be distracted enough by the chalk covered boy to not
notice things like that?...He said, "Yeah I wish we had a couch but the empty space
makes for some rad guitar acoustics ;)"
