Well I'm officially half way over with my twelve week training--so whoop! whoop! We ended up not having any
baptisms this week, so that wasn't fun. Why, you may ask? I have no idea why to be honest, but we have 2 for sure
this week (and 1 more 'probably') so that's really good. Also we figured out that our 'Golden Investigator' has a
lot of problems with 'Question 4' (like with all parts of it, if you know what I mean).
On Tuesday I went on splits with Elder Olson (the one from the CCM), and I actually thoroughly enjoyed it.
We both don't know a lot of Spanish--which actually was a blessing because we learned a lot that day. It started
off with me and the zone leader actually. We went and had breakfast and after breakfast he remembered he had
to do interviews today with some investigators and needed the district leader to do them. So the district leader came
and I was then put with Elder Olson. The day started off kinda slow, but we found one new investigator and his wife--so
a family--and taught them a completely Spirit-led lesson on the Restoration. We then went to another investigator's
house that has had cold feet for baptism because he doesn't think he has received an answer. So me and Olson taught
an amazing lesson on revelation through prayer and scripture study. The investigator then agreed to pray about it and
read, and said that he probably already knows its true by the way he feels while Reading the Book of Mormon. After that
we went to comida (lunch). That was really, really rough! It started off with me finishing my noodles (and already being
full) when they asked 'quiere mas'? 'No, No está bien hermana. Elder tenemos mucha comida'. 'Okay un poco por favor'.
So then I ate that and I'm already about to puke. She then puts two of the nastiest hamburgers in the history of the
world on my plate and I down one and gagged like twice. After that I had one Burger left. Keep in mind these burgers
aren't really even cooked at all (like the cow's still mooing). And it (no joke) took me like 30 minutes to finish this last
hamburger. Afterwards I literally could not move at all because my stomach was on fire. So we left the house and went
over to some bushes and I just puked like half of it out because I felt like I could not move. After comida we went out
and contacted like crazy. We don't really know how many people we contacted but it was an extreme amount. We also
taught ten lessons after lunch!! So yeah, that felt so incredibly amazing.
Cool story about that day though. We were going to our last appointment and we knew exactly where the house should
have been, but it wasn't there--it was actually abandoned. So we started asking people where the house was and (this
was for like two hours). We would also contact these people as well. So anyways, we were about to give up when we
decided to ask this last house. The mom walks over and we ask where the house is, and she says its the abandoned one
right over there. We then say well Hermana Somos Misioneros de la iglesia de los santos de los últimos dios o mormones
usted sabe sobre nuestros iglesia. She said she knew a little and we both got an extremely strong thought that we
needed to share a lesson with her. So we shared the Restoration with her and her family of five. At the end of the lesson
we asked if they would like to be baptised and they all said yes! We ended up not actually finding the house but we
found a whole family ready to hear the Góspel!!!
The only bad thing about the day was that at night Elder Olson forgot to pay the electric bill so we had no lights and
no clima which was extremely rough. So we moved all of our beds downstairs and slept on the floor.
That is really about it for this week. I'm doing good. Love you all. Pray for you all. No joke--its like a twenty minute prayer
every night.
Have a great week!
Love you all.
