Week 44

Hey everyone. So i guess theres a big ol eclipse right now. People here are spooked. We havent done too much this week my comp has been disanimated. and so we just kinda walk like zombies. But, i spoke to him, so i think that things are gonna get better. Like, were buds but just its alittle tough working with the guy. But, love.


So we FINALLY got a baptism scheduled in Ciudad España. His name is ryan and is stoked to baptise himself. It was literally a miracle. His aunt says, "yall should baptize this niño" i said, "okay" and then he left. and then outta nowhere he sat down and said, "i 10 and wanna be baptised. Im ready to listen." So he will get baptised el 2 de septembre.


We found a family named the family Guity. There from the coast. and well, being out here its hard to get supplies like panphlets and books of mormon. so we got there and the oldest comes out and she says whatda yall want? we said, "we wanna teach you guys" she was chill and let us in. So we start asking them stuff and she said, "i have a book of mormon" another miracle. the belong to a church right now but, they really wanna learn more, and are interested in the book of mormon.


also this week, we contacted a little bit, and during contacting i saw an old shirtless lady, it wasnt pleasant. I said "Buenas" then i saw her and we split. haha not fun
Also a lady tried bashing with us, but she didnt know anything about the bible and cant even read, so i just showed her some scriptures about peace and we left.


I dont have a lotta time
I love yall

Week 43

HEy Hows it going? This week was something else. We worked a lot, but my comp has been sick like stillwith parasitos so well go to the doctor tomorrow, cause we dont have time to leave the pueblo and get to the doc. before he leaves for the day.


So we had a ton of stuff happen first off, met a guy named Angel. Really cool dude, hes really looking for a remision of his sins. so we taught him about baptism and repentance. He was stoked to learn that he could be baptised. But theres one problem, he cant go to church cause he has weekend school (its like summer school) and its 8 to 12 on sundays jaja. so well see right?


As well, I think we might have to stop teaching lady cause she likes to hit on us. She invited us over to poker night. But i said no thnaks. But she said, "If i dont come to church its cause im dead" She didnt come to church, and shes not dead. So she lied twice


We saw one of our investigadores in the street and she walked by, and turned around to talk to us, and she came back and was like, "Hey, I read the chapter. Twice. I liked it" So we were stoked, she read 3 nefi 11, talks about when Jesus comes to america and about the salvacion. and So she just isnt home cause she has to watch this baby who got sick from a cucaracha bite.


We also visited Roberto to see if he was reading and praying. He said that he prayed. That he was up one night at 3am and thought that he should pray. and so I asked, "Do you feel like you got an answer that all this is real?" and he said, "yep, how could you mistake the burning of the spirit, its gotta be true." Cool guy. After that he invited us to go to a thing that hes organizing and he wants us to speak there and teach like a ton of people about Jesus.


Also we went to a different part of the Area called San Miguiel to visit Elizabeth. This girl has known the church for almost a year, was a JW. ANd her whole family is too. But, she wants to change. And so she wants to be baptized but her dad wants to be there, she were gonna wait till september. But she was struggling with somethings, so it was inspiration that we just went over there to see her. And she came to chruch yesterday. And is super happy telling people that she is gonna baptized soon.


Some funny stuff that happened.


I saw two little girls trying to break into a house by throwing rocks at the door.
I saw a little boy step on a nail, and instead of crying or anythng he went inside and just tied it up with a peice of fabric haha.
Also people fight chickens here.


I love you guys

Week 42

Hey everybody. Whats going on? It was a great week here in cuidad españa. Time is kinda flying by, and i dont know how i feel about it jaja. I mean this week was kinda tough but, were fine. We both got sick. I got food poising for a day or so haha and my comp has a killer cold and paraistos. and he got super disanimated. and told me that he wants to go home. So im just ignoring his negative vibes, and trying to send off only good. But yeah.


So I think i told yall about Paola last week, shes cool. And she doesnt know about Jesus.But she wants to know more. But theres a problem. She has a 17 year old boyf who she breaks up with and then gets back together with and when shes not with him. she is getting with other dudes. And she told us that she has a problem with smoking pot. and cigs. and she likes to drink. haha its fine, we just have to teach her a lot. but we tried setting a goal so that she could stop smoking for 2 days and we´d come back to see how it went. and when we came back she avoided us. so she obvioudly didnt do it. but we had a nice chat with lester (her man) and he seemed kinda interested. so were probably gonna baptize him, joking. but well see where it goes.


We went back to visit Lady. Shes doing well, hasnt read the folleto. But, she is listening to us. And as well as her mom, they say that they want to know more about the scriptures. the bible and the Book of mormon. But, they dont read them, so its kinda confusing. But, Well see, she didnt go to church cause she works. She sells sand that gets washed into the street after rain storms. quality gal, just has to learn to enjoy the dia de reposo.


We also are teaching a kid (14 years old) named richard. Hes interested in the church, was a refrence of some members, but he doesnt want to go to church. As we were walking to chruch we saw him bringing some masa back to his house to make tortillas, and he says to us, "oh if i have time ill get to the chruch today." but he didnt. My comp got super mad and said to me , "everyone acts like making tortillas is the most important thing on earth." but its true, is tortillas or your salvacion more importanta. Everyone here says, "Ill try to go to chruch, i mean, God First, Right? but, only if God wants, ill get there" Obvi God wants you in church. jaja


Well, that was about it. Love yall.
