September 16, 2013 Week 10

Well another week....gone. In a flash!  It is so weird time is flying so fast-- I hope that that is a good thing?  

I will be praying for XX.  That is hard. I can't imagine it. 

  

I am staying very healthy I believe, right when it hits 10:30 you can guarantee that I am in bed and right when 6:30 hits I roll out.  Sleeping is a daze here I don't even dream I just close my eyes and then open them, haahha it is pretty crazy.  

The one problem that we have is our neighbors...they are crazy. You can bet at least 2 times a week there will be a fight from the hours of 2-4.  It is so annoying it is the same people every time.. O well it is sometimes fun to watch-it is the only entertainment we have...  

This week was very interesting we went on exchanges and I was with Elder Chapmen.  He leaves at the end of this transfer... what the heck! That is in 2 weeks... anyway we had a lesson and we taught a Testigos de Jehovah...TJ's...or Jehovah Witnesses.  Let's just say that we talked for 2 hours...in spanish aaaaaaraaha... it was fun, for those you just listen.

We had a very cool week...it was a building week.  We got 3 new investigators and we had 7 menos activos at chuch.  We didn't teach a lot of our existing investigators.  We have been really focusing on the less actives(menos activos).  Last week we gave 2 sets of families back to school blessings, because the dads didn't want to..it was sad.   They were both very cool experiences.  

We taught ORDAZ (it is the family that i met on the first night with the cake) any way we learned that they have been taught for 7 years!  Missionaries have in the past just been going over there to talk about life.  Well that changed this week.  We went in there, it started out normal we start eating food but it wasn't spiritual then we go sit in the living room.  I pulled out this plan of salvation wooden puzzle I bought in mexico, and it got the 5 year old and the 7 year olds attention.  The parents were out of the room doing something and we just started talking about it with the kids, it was really cool they were helping each other figure it out and they were learning it... well the mom comes in and asks about the puzzle then the kids taught the whole plan of salvation to the mom.. it was so cool.  She then talked about specific things and it ended up being a really cool lesson.  3 days later we went by and we didn't have dinner so it was around 5 O clock and we were like lets go see the ORDAZ family(we didnt say that we wanted food but that was the real reason we wanted to go over there).  Well we got our food-mule con papas con queso con arroz con Coke con todos!  It was very good stuff o and we had some chicken that was fried in Guatemala and then had a airplane ride over here... O well it tasted good.  Anyway we were talking and supposedly some Baptist missionaries came by and asked what religion she was and she said that she was mormon and catholic and then shut the door.  We were so proud! and we ended dinner off with another really good lesson. love it  

But that is about that, there was a lot more but we don't have enough time..(to write at computer?) we get two hours but.... today we had to put a spare on the Hermansas car, get in a Bible bash with a Baptist and this is the cool part..........WE SAW THE LADY WE HELPED LAST WEEK,  it was so random but very cool,  she was very happy to see us and talked about how she had a good lesson with the English elders!!!!!!!!!  got to love service
