Week 49

Hey everybody. This week was nuts. It went by so fast, i was seriously all over the place. I took like 16 busses in 4 days. Doing all kinds of stuff. We went to a place called siguatepeque, which is 4 hours away. We had baptismal interviews and interchanges. But it has been a blast.


So our investigatores are fine. Eduard is doing great a little worried about leaving coffe but he really wants to be baptised. He is super stoked, but doesnt wanna go to church so well see haha.


It turns out that theres a lot of people here that wanna be baptised but never come to church. Like i found a lady that we were teaching but that we stoppped visiting cause she never had time for us or to go to church. But yesterday in the street she stopped us and sasked if she was still gonna be baptised. I was shocked, how can you be baptised ina church that you have never been too? How will you know how to get to your baptism? haha


But we are teaching two families. Wendy and eber. and Gloria and Jose. but they arent married so were gonna have to get them married. theyre cool. They love the church and wanna be members. and they all wanna get married, but theyre just poor. but God will help us out, theyll find the money.


We have been teaching this lady and her sisters named vivan. we had a lesson where i didnt say a word. everytime i tried talking my comp cut me off. he said the opening prayer and the last prayer. and trust me. it wasnt my fault i wanted to talk but he didnt let me. but you already know, when i got outta that lesson. i just looked at him and said, "buddy, i love you. youre a great missionary. but are you kidding me?" and he felt really bad. its funny now. and now we are really working hard on having equal talking time. haha but in a later lesson with her we started out by inviting her sister to pray and she didnt want to. so vivan pipes up and says,"just say Lord Jesus!" haha. theyre so weird but i love em haha.


so down here theres a drink i dig called mate. and i was drinking it in the house of some members and the daughter ( shes like 5) told me, "your breath stinks. and so does that drink. can i have some?" i said, "youll hate it." but i gave her it. and she spit it all over me. haha, my shirt had some gnarly green stains all over. but nothing that bleach and a wash board cant solve lol.


I also saw a drunk fighting a drunk lady who had a baby in her arms. the drunk stole her babay and took it to her house. and some guys from the chruch that they were fighting infront of got into it too. and then some gangsters went in to break it up. it was nuts. haah


it has been a great week. if you guys want something good to read Read Mosiah 4 in the book of mormon. Quality stuff. talks about giving. and who we should give to. READ IT.


love yall.
