This week we went on a little mini exchange because an Elder wasn't feeling good and he is in a walking area, so I went to that area so he could be in a car and feel better. So that was pretty good.
I'm freaking sick of running into people who just bible bash. I'm so sick of it!! I hate Bible Bashing, the gospel shouldn't be something fought over, and it just doesn't change anyone's faith or anything.
Wednesday: We went and chopped wood with this member in the english ward named Brother Wilson. He's a funny old guy from West Virginia. It was nice to spend time in the woods and do service! After that we went to this Referral we got from Salt Lake. We went in their and the whole place smelled like pot and there was a Marilyn Manson music video playing on the TV and they just sat us down made fun of us for a minute, went into the other room so we just left. It was so weird.
Thursday: We did service again for Brother Wilson and weekly planned, taught quite a few first lessons with people during the night, but that's about all I remember.
Friday: We finally made contact with Veronica and Jorge again! They said they don't know which church is true, but they refuse to pray about it. So that's kind of frustrating, but there is only so much we can do. We finished the night playing soccer with a bunch of investigators at the Church.
Saturday: Saturday was way cool, because the first part of the day was just normal missionary work, but we weren't teaching a whole lot. So then we went to Dominga's and she cooked us dinner. We got the other grandson to start coming to church as well!! So we're super excited about that! After dinner we got called to go give a blessing. We got there and this poor little girl about 6 years old was laying there and she had the flu and an ear infection so she was not feeling too good at all. I'm just so glad I hold the Priesthood and have the Authority to give blessings to the sick and those in need. I felt so overwhelmed after. That one just really hit me hard for some reason.
Sunday: we went to church obviously. After church we were trying to see some less active members, and after we tried the last one in our area Dominga called us and said she just happened to be making hot chocolate and was wondering if we wanted any haha so we said sure and went over. We taught the other grandson of hers Named Steven (the same who committed to come to church) It was pretty funny because after the lesson and stuff there was a toy gun and i pretended to shoot steven and Dominga walks up to me all slowly so im just looking at her wondering what she's doing and she takes the toy gun and just starts beating me with it! hahah in spanish she kept saying WE ARE NOT MURDERERS!!! I LOVE YOU BUT YOU MAKE ME BEAT YOU! hahaha it was just a funny moment. after that we just went over to another members to help him move his treadmill because he broke his back and he ended up feeding us and we stayed there until 8:30 and that was my week.
A Scripture I would like you guys to apply to your life that I read today is in the book of Alma. It's Alma 5:14-18 and it's just simple questions that you could ask yourself everyday, which im going to start doing too! But I know this church is true, I know everything about is true. I know god loves us and I see it everyday
well con amor
