The Good the Bad and the Honey Lemon!
This week started out with FISHING!!!! We went to a river 2
hours south of here, and fished! No one brought bait a line or hook ha-ha. So we
dug in the dirt for worms, grabbed an old stick and tied a rock to it and put
the worm on ha-ha. The crazy thing was I
actually got some bite s! But yeah didn’t catch anything ;) some things never
change! But one thing that never changes for the better. I was sick the other
day so my pinchanista said she’d make my something. My companion flipped thinking
it was tocush so she promised to make me something else. Little to my surprise
I came back to a cup of honey lemon!! I flipped! It’s the only thing here to
date I didn’t eat. I refused, and so she made me rotten potatoes and well it’s
helped!
The mission got microwaves!! It was so great and a fridge! I have been indulging
myself with oatmeal and mangos! And milk!!! COLD MILK!
My companion and i have
had a rough week. One of our baptisms for this week changed his mind. He went
to the Catholic Church with his mom the other week and his leg (the one I was
telling you about) was magically healed! He came back to the “Mormons” and well
now has got problems! He took that for his answer went back to the Catholics
prayed to a Santo and now he can walk. ... The power of Satan is real and a
powerful opposition to our work here. Missionaries often doubt their authority
and power because of instances like this but
the miracles however are real if you have faith in God. We visited one
family this week torn apart by beer, sins and different beliefs. I have a
testimony in the family. My companion and I after a lot of praying taught them
the proclamation and well they all came to church. 2 have a date to be
baptized. WE then gave talks Sunday! After a lot of praying I talked about prophets
and shared the following story to start my talk off....
Came home the other day
and my pinchanistas daughter was singing walka walka by Shakira and then next Taylor
swift. I (sinning) started to sing, as a result hit my head on the stair (wasn’t
looking) so hard I blacked out and fell down a flight of stairs. When I came to,
my companion and pinchanista’s husband were standing over me, helping me up
laughing I talked perfect Spanish! (Real story) God gives people weakness to
make them strong; I guess mine is Taylor Swift.
Ether 12:27. So I hope I still
have the gift of tongues because I sure as heck still have a bump on my head. And
THE WHOLE AUDIECNE LAUGHED! It was so great! I gave a great talk in Spanish and
yeah finally got a laugh!!
Life is good sometimes it’s hard but there’s always a reason
to laugh :)
Even if it’s at the Gringo Elder Grow
