Week 22

Hey, so this week was interesting not a lot happened the truth. I kinda felt like we were just walking around a ton. Talking to some poeple. Met a dude from some hick town of florida, he got kicked out of the states for beating up a rapist hah. Solid dude, As we were walking away he told me "God Bless" in a super redneck accent. Miss hearing greengos talk haha


Jurden, a guy who is getting to know the church is studing 2 carrers right now and is super busy but we had a lesson with him the other day, yesterday and he just started to talk a ton a bout random stuff and near death expirances and just random things haha. and then he stop talking and is kinda just looking confused and just lost in what he was saying. Im thinking to myself, we just lost a ton of time talking about nothing, and then my comp says, "Jurden, it sounds like you really want to know the purpose of you life." and it was just like that, like a light bulb just turned on in his head and he was like shoot, i do wanna know and said hey. Im gonna start coming to church and in three weeks im gonna be ready to be baptized. super cool, how the spirit can change things and how the lord will always hook it up if were doing the right things.


But to be honest that was about the only success we saw in this week, it was kinda hard this week. alwyas there is oposition against the good.


Love yall

Week 21

Hey yall so hows it going? Ugh this morning has been nuts. Lol, pretty much like everyday. but a few things happened this week that were good.


So first with Jordy, guy has been missing for a hot minute right? And so we went to go visit his mom and see hows shes doing, cause shes been going through a ton. So we were at his how talking and we asked about him and she told us that he called her the other day and he is in rehab. He was just roaming around I guess and thought itd be a good idea. But the rehab, costs 1500 a month and hes would be there for 20 months. And theres no way he or his family could pay that and so they gave it to him for free. What?! Who does that? What a miracle. Dang that was super awesome.


Other cool thing i was teaching a lesson and it was literally perfect and they really wanted to listen to us and lol, and the end of the lesson Jose asked me a question, and i looked at him for a few seconds. and thougt, "why did he start speaking spanish to me?" I couldnt tell yall if I just felt like it was all in english or if it really was. That was for sure a miracle.


But, i have no time.Love all.

Week 20

Hey everybody! Hows it going? Im good over here, this week has literally felt like a weird long day. But its been good, we had some cool things happen. And some weird things too haha.


First thing that was really good we got this reference form this lady at church, and the Guys name is Jurden, he has 19 years and is her son. He is kinda a rough dude, has some peircings and never wears a shirt (thats like a gang thing here) So when we got to her house shes ranting about how our church is the best and telling him the things he needs to change and, Im sitting there like, "Gee this dude is not even gonna want to talk with us, his mom is just gonna puch him away talking like this." So we start talking to him about the restauracion and he tells us like, "I already believe this." cool. So hes gotta a date to be baptised Marzo 18.


So with Jordy, I dont know what were gonna do, his family is pretty sad about his choices and the other morning just dipped (pretty sure hes looking for his dog) and no ones seen him since. Hes got a big past with some gangs so wondering around in other areas is dangerous for him. And here the gangs only like killing youth his age and so, hes gonna get in trobule with gangs and probably get killed. But, i hope its not so. Holy Cow Pray for that guy.


Las Hermanas of Country B had a baptism this weekend and we had everything ready. I enterviewed the guy and everything (funny thing, as we were talking he asked em two things, First "Did your government send this building here?" And second, "Are people gonna laugh when they see a old man join the churhc and get baptised?") But, what happened this saturday? He didnt show up to his baptism haha. So next week were hoping that hell remember (hes like 80 years old haha)


And yeah thats pretty much my week, being a good little missionary haha.


Love yall

Week 19

Hey guys! Hows it going! So im out here in the Mission. Enjoying my life, I have been super busy this week. The ZL are putting a ton of "responsibilty" on me, but its cause they dont wanna do work. So yeah, we had like 5 meetings this week and a an activity of our ward. That so ive been super stressed with all that. So I had some cool things this week happen,


First, we had the chance to teach a boy who is 8 years old and wants to be baptised. The family lives in iberia (the members say that thats where the wars is right now, did you know about a war here? neither did I lol) It was weird cause he got super adhd or something so it was hard to get him to listen. But, he is a super special person. Hes got a good heart. This family has nothing, but they gave us everything literally. They all sat on the floor and insisted that we use the couch. The kids all gave us marbles and we brought sinckers to share with them and they split them up and gave us some. Super giving and loving, I love meeting the people like this out here. It makes everything bad worth it.


So, a little update with Jordy. After Guy went to the temple, he started getting bad stuff in his life. Like every time we do something good, the adversary doesnt like that so well get tempted more too. So what happened is guys dog ran away and isnt anywhere to be found. And that cause of this he is back into his drugs and drinking, the other day he was super drunk in the street and super high, yelling at his brother that he was gonna kill him and worse stuff that id rather not say hehe. but, we sat with him for a few hours that day and tried reasoning with him. Ha, we´ll see. I know that I really cant do anything for him, but Christ can. So im not too stressed about it.


Well, thats all folks lol, Hope yall have a nice week.
