Ok, funny story, and it makes me forget my paper of my thoughts
through out the week to write today. So here it is.... one of our Zone
leaders, Elder Rubio sends us a text and tells us to write a
thoughtful letter to our other zone leader, Elder Dortch. And we are
like ok what happened? Because it was Monday and we get all the big news
right? Anyways, so we all write him a note, and then when he reads
them, errybody is like, WHAT HAPPENED DUDE, gotta tell us! and he's
like one day, one day. and I'm like, "you got dear john'ed right?" "no
hermana I don't have a girlfriend." he said it really bitterly so obvio
I was like, HE GOT DUMPED. and then he sends a message like 10 mins
after saying, thanks for the notes and now for the big news so
everybody will stop bugging me. I got a dear john and she's with my
best friend who got sent home from the mish. YUP I CALLED IT.
hahahahahha poor guy, but this WHOLE week he has been depressed and
just no fun, so we were like Monday, we have to do something fun to
cheer you up, so we got text this morning saying he is ready to take
on the world, so we had to leave fast. and that, is how I'm going to
write an awful email this week. because he made me forget my paper
because we left running.
I'll tell ya what I can remember...
For the next 13 days Liberia has "fiestas" all day, all night long,
of just partying. It's like a neverending parade and rodeo fair time
kinda thing. IT'S AWESOME. Just walking down in Central Liberia there's
crowds of people selling stuff and horses in the streets, and you can't
even walk becasue of all the animals, and drunk people in the roads
and sidewalks. And that's what we are going to do today, we are gonna
go run with the bulls or something like that. :)
Ahhh freak, ok so I have a really bad phobia of clowns right? Sooo our
investigator thinks that FHE is like a party. She gave the lesson,
dressed as a FREAKIN CLOWN. I almost wet my pants. I was like freak
dude, get me outta here. and she had this weird music playing and I
just wanted to cry....she doesn't understand anything. She's just so
unwilling to accept the gospel, and its sad cause her husband really
wants to be part of it, but she's just a crazy cougar, so he has to do
what she says. But she will come around, I know it. Because she already
stopped drinking coffee.... :)
It's really hot here right, but we have wind, so it makes things a
little better, but starting in March, there is absolutely no wind,
whatsoever. yup, I'm gonna die. Just imagine an oven at 400 degrees,
10 times hotter... thats what its like here. :) coooooolllll
It was a rough week again this week, none of our investigators came to
church, and nobody is in their houses because of these dumb fiestas
and everybodies pastors are calling them because they found out we are
visiting. Satan works hard, and its discouraging.... which is from the
devil, I gotta work on that. Because I gotta think more positive. My
comp is really stressed out, and her space outs happen more frequently
and so she's stressed about that, and she wants to change everything at
once, and I'm like, ok look woman, we can't change everything at once.
It's impossible, we can change things one at a time so that we can
actually recognize what we need to fix about certain things.
I was honestly really discouraged this week, because I know that we
could have done a lot better with our goals, and I was a little sick,
along with everybody else in the zone. and I thought, why am I here in
Guanacaste, when there are a lot of other missionaries who are better
than me, when I feel like I'm not helping the zone. But then the spirit
let me know that the Lord sent me here for a reason, and knows my
potencial and that I need to recognize it as well. Because I am His
representative, and if he needs me in Guanacaste, I need to show Him
that I want to be here, and that I will do His work with all my
energy, and I also recieved a blessing, telling me that I was sent
here to be His messenger, and that people are waiting for me to help
them come unto Christ. I cried. because the Lord is pretty much
telling me to suck it up and have faith. All I felt was, WOW. It's
true. I definitely need to change a lot of things, and remember that
its not about me AT ALL.
So I'm doing a lot better now :)
Yesterday we had some investigators and inactives and our district
come to the chapel to watch the Joseph Smith movie, the one that is
like an hour long. HOLY CRAP IT WAS GOOD. honestly, I have SUCH a
testimony of that man. and to make it better, we went and visited the
family that cooks for us, and decided to share experiences of the BOM.
The spirit was SO strong. People were crying and sharing really
personal experiences, and it definitely strengthened my testimony of
the BOM as well. It was a testimony and faith builder week for me.
haha
When we were leaving the chapel from the movie, a lady walked in and
was like, who visits Bagases, and I was like I do, and she was like,
The Lord told me to come here, and I want you to visit me. WOWWWW. the
Lord is preparing people :) I love it!
ohhhh Bernabe, the husband of Carolina, from the wedding and stuff
that we planned, he got baptized!!! It was soooo great! He was crying
and he was like, I'm so excited to enter the temple in a year as well.
and I actually had a dream that I saw them all in white looking into
the eternal mirrors in the sealing rooms. I know it will happen :)
I just wanna say, thank you to all those that write me and pray for
me. I honestly enjoy reading the emails I receive, and the blessings
from your prayers as well.
I love you all, and pray for you all as well.
read the BOM. it will definitely help you throughout your week. :)
chhhhaaaaoooooo :)
