Hello! This week was insane!
Honestly quite the roller coaster. This week my companion
and I were at the gas station and we saw a news lady there and we asked her if
she would put us on the news... It turns out someone had won the lottery at
that gas station and she asked if she could interview us and ask questions. So
we said yes but basically just tried to put a free advertisement to get people to
come to church that Sunday. So she asked us "What would you do with all
that money?" And I responded "I would buy everyone cars and then
invite all of them to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"and
it turns out it actually made the news! Kinda lit. Hahha. https://www.kgns.tv/video?vid=567064272
Me and my companion
stopped to talk to a guy but he didn't pay attention to us so we just went on
and stopped the car and then started to pray before we went into a lesson...
When we opened up our eyes the guy was standing outside our car so I opened the
door to talk to him and he like flashed his gun at us cuz he thought we were
trying to do something to him but we told him that we just wanted to give him a
little picture of Jesus and he was chilling. Kinda super sketch though. He felt
bad and actually it turned out it was a BB gun but we were seriously so scared
when we just saw he had a gun at first.
This week, my man Dylan was baptized!
That was such a cool experience and he was just smiling the whole time. I'm way
happy for him and gave him a little tie so hopefully he doesn't forget me hahah.
I'm excited for what's ahead in his future! With other people that we are
teaching, Anna is honestly such a big blessing to teach. She has a baptismal
date for the 1st of February and honestly is just the biggest blessing. She is
facing some adversity but really trusting in the Lord and it is honestly like
the coolest/most beautiful thing ever to see her just really put her faith in
God, overcome her fear, and continue to learn more. We actually met her at a
park and didn't really want to walk over at first but we just sent it and talked
to her. I really am so thankful for these experiences. Jaime is doing good too,
we have a few things we need to do to help him get ready but we had some crazy
teaching experiences with him this week. We came by and he had read like half
way through 2 Nephi and he was just like saying all of this stuff like "It
makes so much sense if Adam and Eve didn't eat the fruit, we really wouldn't be
here right now.." and just my companion and I were awestruck at the things
that he was understanding from the Book of Mormon. So we start our lesson and
we just hear this weird noise and we end the prayer and his dog threw up all
over the floor... so he was like "It's demons are coming out of it... I'm
not kidding... I opened up the Book of Mormon earlier today and literally he
threw up right after that too..." That was kinda nuts.
Anyways, I hope you
guys are all back home. I think I could do this forever probably. I'm really so
thankful for the scriptures. On my mission I have begun to see them
differently. They're not just something there to read when were super bored.
They're there to change our quality of life. The church and this gospel is
true. Read and you'll find out.
Alma 5
"7 Behold, he changed their hearts; yea, he awakened
them out of a deep sleep, and they awoke unto God. Behold, they were in the
midst of darkness; nevertheless, their souls were illuminated by the light of
the everlasting word"
