So
this week went pretty well! Finally starting to work with the members a
lot more which helps so much! We found this sweet guy last week named
Moses who is super pilas and loves the Book of Mormon! We watched The
Testaments with him and his family (you guys gotta watch that!) and he
told us that he loved it and said he wants to believe that Christ came
to the Americas and he feels deep down that its true but its just a lot
to take in! So we read Alma 32 with him and it was perfect and hes
super smart and basically taught himself and told himself what he needs
to do which is experiment with the words we are teaching and pray to
know if they are true! It was super cool and then he got out his guitar
which is the same guitar I played the other week cause him and the
other kid Cesar are brothers come to find out and he could actually play
and what was funny is both of our 2 favorite songs to play were the
exact same! Dust in the Wind and Stairway to Heaven haha what a
coincidence!! Then we started talking about lifting and other stuff
too!! This guy is way legit and it gets even better! Hes married!! I
so hope this one goes over good!! It would be sooo coool!!
Also
Elder Hadley has been teaching us how to skinny ties so thats been fun
and stressful cause I suck at sewing. Learning though so thats good!
Our
ward missionary leader is a boss! He gave us last week a reference of
an entire family granted they have to get married but theyve been coming
to church and we had a pretty cool first lesson with them!! Gonna
watch the Restoration video with them here soon!! Miguel is soo pilas!
We could be baptizing in the future this entire family with the help of
Miguel and his wife!!! Excited for that!
Rosa
is still as pilas as ever and is gonna get married soon in November and
we have her baptism date planned as well as little Jefferson who is her
nephew whos gonna get baptized as well with her! Hes a funny little
kid!
Funny thing that happened this week was
that we started our fast in the church on Saturday and then we went out
to teach Rosa and she wasnt there so we sat down and taught Jefferson
instead! My comp was super tired and a little out of it and me too.
But what happened next was that the older brother Victor came out who is
a member and gave us both glasses of Pepsi. Ririe says thank you
without thinking and starts chugging the Pepsi to get rid of his
sleepiness and headache and I was thinking either and started to drink a
little and then it tasted so good and I realized that we were fasting
and we were outside on dirt so I spit out my Pepsi and Ririe looks at me
like why would you do that and then he realized we were fasting as well!
Anyway the kids asked us what happened and we told them we had forgot we
were fasting for a sec. Just goes to show how tired we were I guess.
But the funny part is is that we asked one of the kids to open with the
opening prayer and as he was praying he said Thanks for this Day Thanks
that the Elders could come over, Please forgive Elder Hunt... and Elder
Ririe for drinking Pepsi while fasting. Etc. It was so funny! I
thought he was gonna say Elder Hunt for wasting his Pepsi, but it was
all good. But ya oooops.
Anyway that was about
it for my week! Been getting super tired lately but thats good cause
were working hard. I hope you all have a great week and enjoy the
leaves changing and the cold weather coming in!! Also good look on the
opening of the Deer Hunt! Wish I could be there with you all!
Love Elder Haden
