So this week was a super interesting week, first of all our week started off with us finding our ex-mission leader hammered in the street after our Monday night proselytizing. He was so hopeless.. He couldn't even move, he was so hammered, and he was laying in the middle of the street. I couldn't just walk over him soIi picked him up and carried him back to his house. But then when I went back in the morning, he just told me to.. well he just said some really aweful swear words. It really broke my heart. I really loved that man, and to watch him destroy his life is really tough.
Oh and then the girl who was going to get baptised said she didn't want to get baptised, but then we went, and had a really spiritual lesson, and she started to cry, and became like the most willing person to get baptised I have ever seen!! It was soo cool!!
Oh and then we also are teaching this deaf girl!! She is the cutest thing ever. It's just a little hard because she doesn't know how to read or how to sign. But she saw a baptism and wants to get baptised!! So I am going to do my best to help her make that covenant with God :)
Gosh we had an awesome experience! So it was late one night, and I was so super tired and it was 8.50pm and we didn't have anyone else to visit so we went home because our curfew was 9pm anyways, but we get there, and I had this feeling to go talk to one more person. So we left and went to one of the poorest families I know and we started talking to the mom(we teach her kids) who wants nothing to do with us and is catholic, but for some reason even though her kids wernt there she et us in and we startd to talk to her and her sister. So w start to tech them and th sister tells us that there is no God and a this stuff. and we were like oh well.. but we were going to end with a prayer and we askd her to say it and she says ok but I want feel anything. She says my heavenly father and then starts to ball her eyes out and pour herr whole soul to God. And after she told us that we had to be angles to have camee in such a trying time of her life aparently her husband just got murded like 3 monthes ago and she was super deprssed. It seriously was just another testimony to me about whoes errand we are on and whose work this is.
Oh and some elder broke the rules so we had special changes and another elder who has 23 months in his mission is my comp now as they took my kid who I freaking loved but ni modos whatever if that's what God needs I'll do it :) and love every moment at the same time :)
Love,
Elder D

ReplyDeleteThe new verses of "As Sister's in Zion" that Sister-Catelyn Shaia told us about today! Love them!!! (written by Janice Kapp Perry)
The children of Zion are called to God's labor,
We willingly serve Him with spirit and might.
We go to the nations with truth everlasting,
We teach of the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ.
We thank thee, O God, for a prophet to guide us,
We trust in his words and our purpose is clear.
The angels of heaven are walking beside us,
We'll share our glad message with all who will hear.
We go forth enlisted with Helaman's Army
In numbers much greater than ever before.
With power and spirit we'll faithfully witness
The heavens have spoken and truth is restored!
