for starters on tuesday we spent all day filling out police
papers and going to the hospital to figure out what theyre gonna do
with my comps back. finally they decided theyre gonna take the bullet
out but now we have to wait till they figure out when its gonna be to go
back and do it.
did i already tell the story of danny getting
his car stolen? danny is my favorite investigator. hes a stud and he
wants to be baptized and it would make an awesome story considering how
we found him... but it seems like satan is focusing a lot on him. after
his car got stolen hes been to depressed to meet with us and his grandma
told us that he started smoking again. he didnt show up to church but
we still have faith we can turn things around for him. its gonna work
out it has to.
i cant remember anything that happened crap...
oh shout out to eli and tate best nephews ever. i love you guys thanks
so much for your halloween candy that was so nice of you guys! remember
tate youre awesome. and eli your star wars stickers were sweet!
lol..
okay so yesterday the first counselor randomly signed us up for our
ward choir that is going to be singing at a stake fireside. we didnt
mind, but little did we know it was going to turn into a tryout. after
like 30 min of trying to sing hark the herald angels sing, the choir
director in our ward lost all patience. she went crazy and walked in
between everyone as we sang and people who sounded bad she made leave!
it was so intense ive never been so scared. haha but the bishops wife,
young womens leader, young mens leader, and my comp got selected to
leave. it was so crazy and so unexpected.
que mas que mas que
mas.... okay yesterday we started walking with our second counselor in
the ward after lunch to visit old investigators. he 23 married, served
in uruguay, speaks english, and yeah hes just awesome. but we visited
this old lady and she didnt want to open the gate. she says ive already
read the book of mormon its not true and i dont want to talk. finally
after like 3 min she opened the gate and shook our hands. then she didnt
want us to go in her house becasue shes meeting with jehovahs witnesses
right now. finally after like 5 more min she agreed to let us share a
scripture from the bible in her house. so yeah we got in and shared the
restoration of the gospel and the book of mormon. by the end she was
crying and said that she was giong to pray about it because she never
had and if she recieved an answer shed be baptized. so yeah it was cool.
problem is shes got issues with her legs and our church is on the top
of mount everest so its gonna be hard to get her to church but weve got
faith.
this week was solid and i learned a ton not only about
the gospel and missionary work but really about myself and all the flaws
i have. the mission is much more mentally challenging to me than the
physical or social part. im working hard to improve my brain though and i
think im getting better at controlling my thoughts. i hope everyone
remembers what the real gift of christmas is and has a good end of the
year. im doing everything i can here, dont worry about me. choose the
right. chau!
