Hey y'all. Great things this week. Here's the highlights:
Juan - funny story. So we were knocking this trailer park and Juan answers. I ask how he's doing and he answers in Spanish. And so for the next minute we just small talk, me in English and him in Spanish, both understanding each other. Then my comp, who knows just as much Spanish as me, just goofed up and asked if he knew English. He replies with "Claro que sí." Which means of course. Harkness just had a brainfart or something, cause then he starts explaining in Spanish how we have missionaries who speak Spanish. Half way into it he realizes and we all just start laughing.
We taught him about the Book of Mormon and handed him one. It was super awesome.
Volleyball - the curse was broken! We had five youth show up! It was fun and they are starting to bring some friends.
DC - the best thing to do as DL is ask someone else to teach. So I've been using my delegation skills well and it was fire. Elder Golden, who is the funniest sarcastic guy ever, taught and it was great. At the end he had us all share miracles we've seen on the mission and it was super cool. If you're ever feeling down or discouraged just think about the miracles you've seen and I'm sure you'll remember something that'll help you.
Certified Shed Builder - not really, it was a build your own kit from Costco. So I pulled out all my years of experience building lego sets and following the instructions to make this shed. It's been 3 days and it's still standing so I'm taking that as a win.
Robbie - we had an awesome lesson with her, went over the baptismal interview questions and watched a Book of Mormon video. And best of all she chose a date to be baptized! Super exciting. She said Feb 9th and transfers is the day before, so this is about to be interesting.
Omar - he's a great guy, just not good at calling or texting back. Anywho, he finally did and we have an appointment with him today. If there's anyone to pray for its him.
Protest - we were going home after a service and saw this protest. I don't know whats going on in the world, but they were protesting the Holocaust and Jewish cruelty. All in Spanish for some reason and with a marching band. It was wack, as far as I know that was almost a century ago. Video for proof below
Taira - if any of y'all remember, Taira was my first baptism and she texted and decided to come up and visit since I was closer than my last area. It was super fun seeing her again. I forgot to take a picture with her, which is sad, but I did take a picture of the food she left us. It was a ton, it was awesome. Love her.
Spiritual Thought - this was something I heard in Sunday school that I really liked.
When questioning commandments or why they were given first look at the context. When you understand the context it can make understanding the commandment a lot easier. And no matter what, the main reason for every commandment is to make us holier and closer to God.
I really liked that because a lot of people question some of our commandments, without fully understanding them or experiencing the blessings that come from keeping them. And as we do our best to explain, the Holy Ghost will help them to understand. I know that to be true.
I love you all and I hope y'all have an amazing week!
