Alright
so it was an interesting week. I think I'm gonna start of with... the
spirtit'chal things because the stories are good but it was a good week
also. First of all, on Friday I got permission to go with Eric's family
to the Temple to do Baptisms for the Dead. That was AWESOME.
I couldn't
do much because everybody kept acting like because we were Elders we
were diseased so mostly I just got to sit and watch it happen, but all 4
of them who have been baptized went. Jose afterwards said he liked it a
lot, that he could really feel the Spirit. And it was just nice to see
Eric again.
The first half of the week was pretty slow. Monday was the whole
hiking incident,
Tuesday was a zone conference, and Wednesday and
thursday like nothing happened... no one was home, we couldn't get any
news, in the first 5 days of the week we got like 3 lessons, and not for
lack of trying. And friday was the Temple so that took up some time
too. But on Saturday we received a lot of revelation... We were out and
about, after already having had like 3 or 4 lessons fall through, and
both Elder Goff and I were pretty frustrated. So we were at the house of
one of the people who bailed on us, and they still had their Christmas
lights up in their trees... and I just wanted to take them down!!
I was
so irritated I wanted to do some service to lighten my soul! But I
couldn't decide whether or not to do it... I didn't want to get them mad
at me for doing something without their permission, but I wanted to get
it done! And I literally could not make a decision which was just
frustrating me more because we had other people to go see... but, in the
midst of my trying to make a decision, the neighbors of the people we
were at got home, and they were Mexican..... so... we went and talked to
them!! And if I hadn't been fighting with the decision of whether or
not to take them down, we would have missed them.
As a parent, should I be concerned about the facial expressions of Elder Goff and Elder Jorgensen???? |
And then, right after that, we were walking around just trying to
find some people, and I felt like we should knock a door. So it took us
awhile, but we finally got to it, and a white dude opened up the door.
My first though was "oh, great..." but he turned out to be very
interested and as we taught him a mini version of the restoration, I
could see it in his face, it made sense!!! We have to hand him off to
the English but I'm glad we found him.
Then later on Saturday I legitimately got hit on my a 40 year old
mexican woman!!! UGH!!! We tried teaching her, and she just kept going
off about how good looking I was for more than half an hour...
NASTAY!!!! As we were walking away, there was a chick with bright red
dyed hair smoking a cigarette in a stairwell, so I said "Hey how's it
going."
And then yesterday we got to teach HHHH's family (the ones who
remind me of Eric) and it went really well. I am excited to see where
they go.
Aight guys I gotta go! Love you!
