This week was pretty good!
So Tuesday WAS MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY! Happy birthday mom, i love you! I celebrated with an 8 hour zone conference
in Cali ! yay!
It was kinda slow but we got some new cool ideas to get references from
members.
Wednesday the door man down stairs of our apartment said our
new investigator William passed by the apartment wanting to talk to us. So we went and found him and talked a bit at
his house. I guess he REALLY wanted to
learn more! So we taught him about the
Book of Mormon and the restoration and he said "now i can see. God has send you both to me. I know it is true." WOW.
It was super cool, he's a man full of faith!
Thursday we had divisions with the zone leaders! The plan was for Elder Cortes to go with me
with Jo and see if we couldnt get her to baptize Saturday on the 40th
anniversary of the mission in Cali . We had a super cool plan, but around 5, his
comp called us and said we had to go to Cali RIGHT THEN. I guess something happened and the zone
leaders had to go to the offices. So
dang it! But Jo couldnt talk that night
because work was busy and she had to go later.
Oh well i guess. Also, in 2 days
(Wednesday and Thursday) Bello and Dalton found 22
INVESTIGATORS. So now im all excited to
get out and knock doors or something.
Friday we went in divisions, me and Dalton in his area and the others in my
area. The goal was to help me and Ortiz
learn how to contact better and be more excited about contacting. We had quite a few good experiences! One lady said we were angels and an answer to
her prayers. We taught the plan of
salvation, and i showed her my picture of the Mt Timpanogos temple, and she
said "wow i feel peace when i look at this." it was really beautiful.
Saturday was the 40th Anniversary mission activity and we
were busy all day! It was fun to sing in
a choir with 80 missionaries. (i sang bass).
The building was packed that night and everyone seemed to enjoy it! I got my ring back from Elder Oré who was
there, and got to see a few other great Elders!
It was a good time.
Sunday was great and sad all in one. Starting with the great, something really
strange happened. So a lady came to the
church with a list of questions, so we came to her house after church to talk
about it. When we got there, she called
over 3 of her friends! So we were
sitting outside in the doorway teaching these four women (we can't enter
without a man present) and one started recording us on her phone! I was kinda bugged but we taught them
anyway. And by the end they actually
seemed really interested and touched by the Spirit. It was interesting to say the least. That night we had a lesson with Jo and
brought a brother named Pedro, a super great 77 year old man. But he kinda just ended up talking with Jo's
mom all night bearing his testimony while we listened. Jo's mom was really bothered by the fact we
can't be alone with them as women without a man present. But whatever!
Jo was talking about baptisms though and even asked which one of us
would baptize her! It was rad!
The sad part about Sunday was in the night at 10 we got a
call from the assistants and Elder Ortiz received Extra official transfers to
go to Cali . BUMMER. my new comp is Elder C from Peru as well, and i guess he's kind
of a "special assignment". I
dont know. I feel honored in a way
because Elder Rojas said he felt only I could help him out.
Today i went and picked up C, and he seems pretty cool! He also seems kinda down. I guess he has family problems and other things from his old days from before he got baptized that might make him go home soon. I feel bad. He was just in
Elder Welch
