Hola


Well this week has been really slow, but also we've had some really cool experiences. 

So the first really miracle we had this week is that Dominga's Husband went home from the hospital Monday night! I'm honestly so amazed at this! His leg was like twice the size of his other one on Sunday when we were at the hospital with him. I know without a shadow of a doubt that this priesthood power is the literal power of God. D&C 121:36. I know through our faith, miracles are completed. I know without any second guesses that is a miracle that I have witnessed. 

The second really cool thing is Julio was able to meet with us again, we went over and he was really drunk. Like couldn't even write his phone number drunk ha. But he always end up breaking down when he talks to us. We got him to commit to not drink for 5 days. We asked him if he's willing to do that and he agreed. So we asked him why don't you start with this beer, and immediately he dumped it out. Then we asked if he had more and we dumped out 3 more. It's a small step. But God sees those small steps and knows how hard they sometimes are. 

So other than that this week we did tons of service, we helped Wilson again.. Chopping wood and we finally finished his wood pile haha. We also helped some members move. 

We also taught Ashley this week, she's this little 9 year old in a part member/less active family and they really want her to get baptized hahha done. I love kiddy dunks. 
But man there was this TV show on called "Al Extremo" so weird man! It was just a show showing a bunch of people dying! I don't get it, the whole family was just chilling watching it, eating dinner. 
We also found out why that trailer park we got is so sketchy. We had like 5 people ask us why we are here and everyone of these dudes had "hate" tatted on their hand, then finally another guy had a wife beater on and had a swastika tatted on his chest, turns out a bunch of people from the Arian Brotherhood that live their and have meetings ha. (If you don't know about them do some research hahah)   
Then we ran the 5K today hahaha I actually won, I'm really suprised. I ran it in like 22 minutes. But now I'm dead.



But anyways those are the cool things that happened this week.

Like I said it was a really slow week.. It's always like middle of the transfer slowing down. I don't know why it always happens. But we can not get one person to come to church anymore. Not even to come sit down and watch a screen for conference. But everyone says they want to know everything about the Church but no one wants to actually come to church! It's sad to see because it's almost like people worship the actual bible more than who gave it to them. And Just because Joseph Smith isn't mentioned by name in the bible, it's not true. Which doesn't make sense.. Because the actual name Jesus Christ isn't mentioned until the New Testament, so of course Joseph Smith isn't named? That's just one really simple excuse I have for that question. We have so much evidence that this church is true. Everyone believes in God for the most part, even the devil and his servants know that Christ is the son of God, But it means nothing without an actual Testimony of this restored gospel, given through Faith (not just belief) and Prayer with a sincere heart in the name of Christ if this church is the true church. 

Well that's my week, remember who you are, I know we are in the latter days, I wear a name tag that says it every day. All the prophesies are coming true from both the Bible and the Book of Mormon and our canonized scriptures. Honor your priesthood if you hold it, the same power which created and controls this Earth, planets, and sun around us. sustain your leaders, something that was very emphasized this conference. D&C 121:35-36 Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson--
That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
Apparently Elder Jacobson still had enough energy to chase ducks
