MIRACLES. That's what it could bring. And that's what it will bring. You
can bet your bottom dollar on that.... ok, I'm weird.
This past week was actually a miracle worker as well. But a little
cray cray, and you will be soooooooo surprised to hear what actually
happened. hahahahahh it's soooooooooooo funny....
We went and visited a recent convert, and he just got back from his
sons wedding, and he was telling us all about it and how much fun it
was, and told us what they ate, and he was like, have you ever tried
Chicha? ummm no what the heck is that... well let me go get ya some,
we still have some left. ok cool. It's made out of corn, brown
sugar, water and it sits for a long time... a really long time... it
looked like apple cider, and tasted like it, until it started burning
my throat, and I was like why does it do that? oh because its
fermented..... I drank it all until I found that out.... it was a
whole mug of alcohol that I drank. yeah, you would be surprised too at what
ya find members doin here as well. Don't worry, we teach him the word
of wisdom this week.
That same day, my comp had EXPLOSIVE diarrhea. Like she would have to
run to the bathroom. so we left after taking a little chicha break,
and shes like, I need a bathroom NOW. So we stop at a members house so
she can go, she's like trying to be quiet about it, I'm sitting in the
front room, playing with a little kid and the member was cleaning her
laundry so she wasn't close by. .and all of the sudden we hear..
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM. but like and explosive fart, and I just dieeee
laughing and my comp too, and the little boy I was playing with he got
a little scared and then just busted up laughing as well. SHE WOULD
KILL ME IF SHE KNEW I WAS WRITING THIS. sooooo funnyyyyyy. and we just
left after that. hahahahahahha
We had a really spiritual district meeting this week, and it wasn't
what our district leader planned, but the spirit totally took control.
We were asked when was the last time everybody had a spiritual
experience, and everybody was like yesterday, and I was like well it's
always a spiritual experience during my studies, so today, and he was
like good answer, we are all gonna feel the spirit today as well then,
so he chose 2 people to share their experiences about their decision
about going on the mission or how they were truly converted and
gained a testimony. CRAP. it was SOO GOOD, everybody was tearin up and
it honestly it made me actually think about the experiences that I've
had that have strengthened my testimony, and why wouldn't I wanna share
that with others. It made me really think about what I needed to
change as a missionary.
We also had interviews with president this week. My comp once again
was freakin out, like she should just go home and everything would be
better, kind of attitude, and I was like, NO you can't go home, you've
gone this far and your just gonna let it all go? and yup that's what
she did, she goes home in April. With our interviews with president he
made me tell him everything with what was happening with her, and so I
did, and he was like, " I put her with you because I trust you a lot
and have so much confidence in you, I want you to help her save her
mission but only she can decide but I know you can help her be a
better missionary." that's the best thing that I could
ever receive from him, is his trust and confidence and I have it all,
so that made me feel better, cause I was crying like, "its so hard
though, and he was like, I know" hahahaha yup, so after that we got to
work, cause thinking about anything just takes away from the spirit so
I can't focus too much on other things. But once again I will be
getting another companion in 2 weeks. record.
Saturday we celebrated RS. but there wasn't any power, cause somebody
was dumb enough to steal the wires and cords from the church building,
so everybody was sweating, and we ate cake, and then a member that
lives on the beach, was like, when are you gonna visit me? and she was
like we can just leave from here. OKAY. So we went to her house, ocean
front property. drank vanilla coke and ate fruit and she opened up to
us. She's the sweetest lady ever and just needs friends, her son is
serving in Mexico so she's all alone with gringos that are renting out
her rooms for a while. its like a hostel. But honestly it was awesome
watching the sunset. :)
Church was realllllly awesome. We were like praying alllll the time
just to have at least 2 or 3 show up at church, and 5 showed up!!!!! I
was like, OH SHOOT SON there's 5 baptisms for April! I'm so excited,
because they were all the ones that we have been working with to get
baptized but the never came to church, to see them there and have
them actually enjoy the meetings was such a blessing and also since
it was the 5th Sunday we all got together, and a member talked about
ZION and what we need to do to become Zion to receive a stake here.
That's what they're missing, is being united and one in heart, like
Moses 7:18 says. It's really sad that people are so judgemental here
and everybody cares what people say, but they are gonna change that,
cause I know everybody wants a stake, they just have to get rid of
their pride. It'll take work, but I know it will happen, cause they are
really great people here, I love them all.
We went to the beach again today, and we totally forgot that spring
break was happenin.... it was little awkward... if ya know what I
mean, but everybody was talking English which was weird, and nice at
the same time. hahahhah, we went to this market store, and it had
American soda, and Jones. yup, and I had all the latinos try it. they
loved it. who doesn't. hahaha anyways-
Just wanted to share as well in Nehemiah 4. about the city who had to
build and protect their city. and that's what we need to do as well. In
our family, homes, wards, and personally, we need to build our
testimony and protect it with the things we know that will help us
spiritually.
love you all. hope you are all having great vacations.
and FYI. I hit a year mark on Thursday, it's like a birthday, like
shoutouts, or gifts or somethin.... hint hint... ;) hahah nahhh JK JK.
annnnddd. everybody better enjoy conference. don't take notes on what
they all say, but listen to the spirit and make categories on what you
need to work on, and I promise the spirit will testify to you. like I'm
gonna make categories, of, missionary/companion, sister, daughter. I
invite yall to do it :)
