At the Temple |
This
week has been definitely interesting. My companion and I got sick last
Saturday, and I felt better around Tuesday evening. But my compa did not
feel well until the next Saturday. So we have been home bound for a whole week.
I am definitely a little stir crazy at the moment. Yesterday we were finally
able to do a full proselyting day, and it about killed us. We were exhausted!

Today
is my second month mark. It does not feel like it has been that long! Time is
already flying by and I am just starting! It literally feels like I landed at
the CCM a week ago. That is the sad things about the amazing parts of our
lives--they always go fast!
Our
investigators are progressing great! I love each of them so much, and it is
amazing how the Lord has prepared them for this moment in their lives. Each of
them is amazing, and I love that I get to know so many people so personally. I
love being able to help them. The amazing thing about the gospel is that it has
a solution for every problem in our lives. Every problem I have, I am able to
turn to the Lord and ask for help. He always gives me the exact answer that I
need. I love seeing that same principle in the lives of our investigators.
We
got a new investigator yesterday. He is married and has two young
sons. He wants to know as much as he can, and he wants his wife to be taught
too! He is very receptive to the things we teach him, and I feel the Spirit so
strong when I am around him. I believe that he and his family have been
prepared by the Lord for us! It is such a crazy experience meeting someone who
doesn't realize that what they have been looking for is the gospel!
Our less-active sister has been progressing super well. We give her a pamphlet, she
reads it, and then tells us that she knows everything in it is true. We
honestly do not have to teach her that much because she already has a super
strong testimony of the church. Yes, she has questions, but she has no problem
accepting the answers we give her. She is absolutely incredible!
Traveling with my compa |
Crazy
story of the week: We had dinner with a member on Wednesday. After dinner and
our message, we got up to leave, but then she goes over to a pot on the stove
and asks us a question. We didn't understand what she said, so she simply says
"Corn?" and opens the pot to corn on the cob. We said of course, and
then she proceeds to tell us that we need to put lime and chile on it. At first
we both said no, but she kept pushing for the lime and chile. We gave in, and
it was so delicious. As we are walking out with our corn, we pass by her gate
and we hear some sort of animal. We both jump, and the Hermana says "Esta
bien hermanas! Es solamente mi chiva! (It's ok Sisters, its only my goat!) We
both felt like we had just stepped into Mexico!
Corn with chile & lime.... Yum! |
