IT'S BEEN SO HOT LATELY
I feel like I'm gonna die literally every day. I think the 2
years has just taken a toll on me, plus the extreme heat that has hit me like a
brick wall lately...
This week we had some disappointments as usual, but it was
sad for us (for me especially) because Michael, who has been progressing really
well lately, told us that he doesn't want to hear anything else from us. Just
out of nowhere told us that he's done. I thought he was going to be baptized
for sure but obviously that's not quite what he has planned apparently.
But we spent a lot of time finding new people to teach this
week and we were able to find a man named Rafael, who's super special. I think
he's missing an eye (ironic that I'm not super sure because I couldn't see very
well hahahhaa). But he's super cool and knows a ton about the bible and stuff,
but the best part is that he loves the Book of Mormon and wants to read it. He
says it just makes sense! He accepted a date for the 10th of June and has loads
of potential. Super cool guy. It just shows that you can't judge anybody! When
I contacted him on an exchange, he was all sweaty and gross and obviously
missing an eye. I had no idea he would be so cool!!
We also found a cool family on our exchange and went back
and taught them on Sunday and it was another super cool experience! It's really
amazing how a true testimony can help someone to feel the spirit and want to
learn more. The mom of this family was asking all the right questions! Honestly
that's like the best feeling in the world as a missionary, when your teachings
work and contacting lead you to someone who has the questions that our message
answers... it's cool!!
Rubi is progressing towards her date for the 10th, but she's
in the middle of graduation stuff so it's been hard for her to come to church.
But I'm confident that she'll make the date!
I'm super happy to be here on the mission. I have like super
mixed feelings about coming home but I really know that this is the true church
of Jesus Christ. El la dirige y se han restaurado todas las cosas necesarias
para poder regresar a la presencia de Dios un dia. Se que El vive y sufrio por
nosotros para proveer el camino para ser personas nuevas y limpias del pecado!
Somos hijos e hijas especiales de Nuestro Padre Celestial y el quiere que
lleguemos a ser como el un dia! Amo poder servir como representante de
Jesucristo.
Les quiero a toditos! Espero que google Translate les sirva!
