WOW; what a fantastic week woww wowowow
I love being a missionary it really is so cool, there is no feeling like it honestly it is strange, but i really do love it. So this week we were contacting and there is this house way out in the boonies i mean out there!! and that morning i was study about how to follow the spirit and Elder Scott says that "often our most prized and most valuable spiritual prompting are our first thought or prompting that go unnoticed because we do not act upon them" and it is so true so we were walking and we were just gonnna pass by this house because it is out there, but i felt like we should go.but we just kept walking. again i looked back just kinda thinking "oh it is not important" nothing is gonna happen with this house" so i kept walking. finally the spirit was able to hit me in the side of the chest and say go! so i turned around started walking towards the house and my comp was like huh i just said vamos haha any way we go up to the house and before we even get to the fence the man is coming out to meet us saying pass pass.. we go in and he is just excited, i´m in heaven and my comp is kinda lost in the sauce... turns out he had been going to church when the first elders came here 30 years ago when there was not a church building or nothing and he has been looking for it since but didnt know where the building was or any of the members. wow... coolest feeling ever.. but it gets better.... 7 little girls the cutest little girls you have ever seen. (i am going to send a picture next week of this family and janessa is going to die that is how cute these little girls are) the whole first lesson the little 5 years old was laughing at me the whole time, now normally this is a distraction but she is just so darn cute it doesnt even matter. it really is the coolest thing i have ever experienced just a little prompting and we found this family. wow. i love it. the spirit is insane, the way it works with us and with others just blows my mind. anyway they are way stoked 5 of them have baptism date for this 5 of febuary we still need to talk to one more of the girls that is 17. but the only sad thing is i could not be there to see them baptized. this next transfer is 27th of january so i dont know what to think right now.. anyway we have a date for a girl named carla 9 years old and she is just like amanda no joke it is so funny she is always at the grandmas house(which is how we know her) they are recent converts and she is always going to church with granparents i asked my last comp why she was not baptized he told me the parents would not let her,, so with my new comp we talk to those parents and they said yes. so pretty sweet she is a way sweet little girl. other than that me and my comp are getting along alot better. i found wheni just will make him breakfast or dinner iit is easier to just love him haha. oh yeah funy joke every one in south america says peruvians are thiefs and every one always says hide your wallet when my comp tells them he is from peru.. hahh so next time you see chino you can tell him that. Other than that i am doing good quick funny story really quick i went into a drunk guys house and the whife kinda had just this upset look on her face. i could telllsomething was wrong so my comp was talking to her and the husband was telling me about all the chickens that he owns. ( dont know why but seriously drunk people just like me alot) so why he is tellling me about all his chickens i went around his house just kinda chatting with him, and distracting him, while i hid all his beer :) all of it haha under the table under clothes and the whife just looks over with a big old smile hah anyway it was pretty hilarious and we got a return appointment with the whife when he is not wasted...
anyway i still want more updates on how it all my buddies doing and my family. also mom i do not really have time to write the ward just tell them i love them and seriously i miss having so many good members and people that we can rely on, the members here and really flaky so i miss the confidence and trust that i had in utah. also how is coop doing tell him to send me a letter or something seriously he does not know what he is missing out on.. also dad a few weeks ago you asked me what was that animal i was holding it was a monkey,and yeah they are pretty freaky. mom i know i do not write as much as you want me to,so i got a little assignment for you i know how much you love to talkand visit with people so i would love it if you visited with jeff and his mom and grandma great people, also there is clint and his parents great people., corey, dj, the list goes on and on and write me after and tell me how is went.
anyway i love and miss you all every single day my spanish has really talking a big step of improvement but i still got a long way to go. i´m working my butt of, i am not having much success but it is coming i have faith i would love your prayers and fasts for my investigators thank you so much for always teaching us to do what is right.. wow the world really is a different place. i love you alll tell adam he is not the man of the house.
