is what happened during week 4.
Overall this week was really good! I watched a fight between my
neighbors and watched one of them get hauled off by the cops, I found
out I'm down 30 pounds since the start of my mission so that's tight.
Tuesday we and taught our investigator Diana again. We were
following up with her to see if she read at all and prayed about the
Book of Mormon to know if it's true. She said "I pray every night
already, but why wouldn't it be true?" Haha so we were pretty
surprised and just said we don't know! So she is just super solid
already and wants to be baptized, but she needs to actually come to
church but said after this month she has Sunday's off! Then we went
and taught another solid new couple from El Salvador, Carlos and and
Carla (Pretty easy to remember their names haha) and they're really
prepared as well! They actually keep reading and prayer commitments we
give them! I'm really excited to see how they pan out.
Wednesday we taught Steven again, and he's staying on track for his
baptismal date of March 5th! So we're way excited for that! Then we
taught Diana again, and we went in with the plan of teaching the Plan
Of Salvation, but we went in and it just felt kind of gloomy in there.
Her Mom (Marbella who we found before, and told us she suffers from
depression, and her son that is a sack of crap that does tons of drugs
and is 16) told us again how her depression is worsening and Diana
said it's true. Diana said she's just going through some things
right now. So we kind of had a testimony meeting about how the lord
has comforted us. That rekindled some times with Marbella and Diana
about when they've been comforted by the lord as well. It was way
spiritual and super awesome. I love teaching people, not lessons
Thursday not much happened. We had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings then
weekly planned for freaking eternity. Had dinner and tried to see
potentials, we ran into a potential and she was not having it. She
even gave us back a pamphlet about the restoration and a el libro de
Mormon.
Friday we had exchanges with the zone leaders, so I took one of the
English elders, Elder Lockhart into our area. Turns out Elder Lockhart
and I played on the Dawgs together when were like 8 or 9 and the same
city league team haha so that was cool. But it was really cool just to
teach lessons in Spanish and lead our area for a day. But then we got
called to give another blessing to an investigator for the English
sisters. That was really awesome, it's always a cool experience to be
called upon and act in the name of Jesus Christ.
Saturday we had district meeting in the morning then Brother Hungate
took us to cici's pizza, and after we went to give a baptismal
interview to the zone leaders. We got there and their cows got out so
we had to go and get them back in, which was pretty fun, except my
suit is now covered in cow pooh because it happened to be the muddiest
pasture I've ever stepped foot it... So that's pretty cool.
Sunday John passed the sacrament for the first time, so that was
pretty awesome to see!
The scripture I'd like to share you guys this week is Alma 4:11 "And
it came to pass in the commencement of the ninth year, Alma saw the
wickedness of the church, and he saw also that the example of the
church began to lead those who were unbelievers on from one piece of
iniquity to another, thus bringing on the destruction of the people."
What kind of example are you?
only on a mission would this door look inviting to go and knock on
after getting all the cows back in the pasture
(Elder Jacobson loved this, of course!)
