our potential investigators list, and also a bunch of people we just
haven't been able to make contact with. We got dropped by 8 people! It
was so frustrating. That was all we did Tuesday
Wednesday we had district meeting again, which was pointless because
we had one like 3 days before that? It was like a monsoon here so
everyone was inside- which means no one shouldn't answer the door
haha. We went to this apartment complex and knocked every single
door and found double the amount who had dropped us, so that was just really
solid! I mean literally that's all we did was knock doors and teach.
Something really cool that happened Wednesday; we have been debating
whether we drop Edgar (our straight up cholo investigator) or not.
We've tried him no less than 15 times in the past month and a
half, but it never felt right. So we were like 'let's just try it one
more time'. We both had a prompting to try him. So we did and HE
ANSWERED! It was so cool! It turns out he went back to Mexico for a
month and finally came back haha. So that was our Wednesday.
Thursday we didn't do anything until after dinner because we weekly
planned. Weekly planning is my least favorite day by far. We got to
have dinner with the Sligaros though, so that was awesome! They're the
English members that fed me on my b day. They fed us some
hamburgers and taters and beans, it was get down good! Then we taught
Diana again. That was pretty cool because she was wondering how to
recognize the spirit, and after the lesson we just asked 'can you feel
that?' And she just "Oh, yeah I can!" Hahah so that was a good lesson!
Friday we had inspections for our house and car. W,e had to trade the
zone leaders our car for theirs, and it's been like 6,000 miles since
their last oil change so we got ripped for that. We had to go get
the oil changed and they said it would be about 30 minutes but it took
2 HOURS. We were about 10 miles out of our area so we had to stay
there. So after that whole ordeal we just went around again trying to
have 2nd lessons with all those we found, but nothing happened, which
kind of stunk, but it's all good. After dinner we helped our amigo Luis
pack his stuff to return to Guatemala. He's going back there for 4
months to earn money and come back and live off that until he dies....
That's his plan. I'm gonna miss that little old guy, he's really funny
and he's always willing to come out and teach with us.
me with our little amigo Luis
Saturday we once again tried and failed seeing everyone except two of those
people we found. Those two that answered said they were busy. So that
took until 4. Then we had a lesson with Steven. After we played
whiffle ball with Steven and John and all the neighbors haha that was
pretty fun. That took us up until dinner. After dinner we tried to see
those that are solid and can come to church. Jorge and Veronica
said they don't know, and 2 more people said they'd come after 2
really spiritual lessons!
Sunday we went to church obviously. Diana showed up which was tight!
(The 2 others didn't come to church, bummer) We sat next to Dominga
and Dominga spilled the sacrament water on her... Haha but Diana
really liked church so that's good! We taught her again about
plan of salvation and she said it just makes sense! So we will see
what happens! We also taught one of our new investigators Yolanda and
that was pretty good! She actually talks and asks questions which is
new to me so it's really fun teaching her. Other than that nothing
else really happened. So that was my week this week! Let's see what
else is new- I didn't bible bash with anyone this week for once so
that was nice. It's like 65 degrees today and yesterday, it's leap
year it's Elders p-day (flag football p-day), it's a sunny day, it's
going to be a great day!
By the next letter home I will know if I stay here for 6 more weeks in H-burg.
One of my new favorite Scriptures is D&C 122:6-9 please read it.
It means humble yourself, whatever you're going through the savior
went through worse. And there's just a solid promised blessing, and
I like promised blessings
