Okay how are things??
This week has been super crazy and so good. We had specialized
training at the beginning of the week and that was great. It was a
little different only seeing President Deere there with his wife but the
AP´s were there too. I got to hang out with Manning for a little and
talk to him. Haha yes he called me and told me everything I am so
EXCITED. It is really impossible for me to get trunkie training a new
missionary. Plus I get too pissed when I feel like I don´t get to work
enough. Plus you know me and my attitude I worry too much what the
President would think looking at my weekly numbers and the Lord
himself. So I am doing great. He remembered that crazy miracle story
that President Clegg shared about the dream?? Well he is one of the
travelling ap´s and they are here with us in Jaén right now. I went
with him on Friday and Saturday. His name is Elder Pedersen his trainer
was Elder Solari the kid you saw in J-Dawgs. Elder Pedersen is the
father of Elder Peterson haha. Pedersen is such a funny man I had a lot
of funny stories with him this last weekend. We found this Muslem kid
and we go teach him and we find he is a freaking porn star and he is
only 20 years old. Here in Europe I have taught some interesting
people..so well we teach a little lesson and tell him that he needs to
repent. Also with Elder Pedersen we found an old investigator family
that isn´t married and we knock on the door and the first thing a little
kid says is hey I am 8 years old now haha. We are going to continue
working with them. The mom is Romanian and she has a little son named
Lolo. So we will be working with them.
So a miracle happened to me this last week. So before the
traveling ap´s get here this last Wednesday we are like running to a
lesson; not even contacting in the street because we are in a hurry. I
see a mom and a little kid walking and they are practically right next
to me. I literally get stopped dead in my tracks and I talk to the
lady. Some how or something stopped me dead in my tracks and I knew the
Lord made me stop; I didn´t even think to stop. So the lady is smiling
all happy and I talk to her and she tells me that she had talked to the
missionaries two years ago and I get her number and address and ask if I
can come back tonight and she says yes. Okay so we pass by her house
and she lets us in and right as we sit down she tells us she needs to
tell us something. She tells us that she is a member and starts just
crying. I start crying because I know the Lord made me stop her because
she needs us. So it turns out that her son is 9 years old and is going
to get baptized on the 12th with Nereya. Miracle, man, I love the
family. I sat there in her house with her crying for like 20 minutes
while she was telling me her history and all. She is from Peru and her
parents are active members. Her husband isn´t a member and we are going
to work with him. The mom and the son Sebastian came to church too!
SOLID.
SO, this week was a week of miracles and the Ap´s helped us a
lot. We found 7 new people without them and we ended the week with 19
new people. I will inform you more next week about investigators.
Last little funny story. Last night I am with Elder White and we
talk to some black African guy that is Muslim and it´s 10:10 at night
and invites us into a party with like 30 black guys in a one room
apartment and they give us food. The Muslims are doing a month fast and
they only eat at night. So every night they have a party and we walk
in the house and they just start yelling all happy because we are
Americans. They invited us to come back today and we are going to get
pictures haha.
Well I love you ALL!!!
