6 months Boom Baby!
Tuesday
Well guys, today was great! I had this feeling to talk with this family and they were awesome! They have two boys 9 and 12 years old that loved that I played basketball and was from the U. S. They thought I was like 26 or 32 years old, I was laughing so hard. I guess the mission ages you. Afterwards, I got to go see a real horse track and feed a horse. It was the coolest thing ever. It’s has been so hot here with the heat and humidity but it finally rained so hard which was the best.
Wednesday
Today, we had an intercambio with the zone leaders. I woke up that morning and did a workout with metal chairs; I’m trying to stay creative with workouts haha. After we left with the zone leaders, Elder Lockhart. Holy cow he reminded me of Jack Jowers! Miss you 50! Super funny day! We went and taught this dude and he went off on us saying how we don’t believe in this and that and we don’t walk around with the bible. He went off for an hour and then looks at me and goes you have bad thoughts about me. You need to repent. After he goes, I want Elder Knell to answer my questions, no one else! I was sweating, haha, and he asked the same questions over and over again. I finally was like, Mateus, we understand you believe in the bible but guess what the crazy thing is, we do too! He asked about baptism a 1,000 times and didn’t understand why he needed to be baptized again. I read 3Nephi 27:20 to him. We need to be baptized in the name of Christ with the authority and priesthood of God. He was a tough one lol. Later, we taught this lady and her “couple” haha not married. She is a member and was drinking. She was so embarrassed! I read Mosiah 2:41 and told her keeping even the smallest of commandments, we will be blessed forever. The spirit was super strong! As members of the church, we need to be examples, not just when people are looking. Be the same person in the dark and you are in the light.
Thursday
I’ve been out 6 months, let’s go! We went and taught this guy named Albedo. He has 29 dogs. I was sharing the first vision with him and the spirit was so strong but Satan always has a trick up his sleeve. His wife came home and had him go inside forever but we ended the lesson really well. We got shut down a lot today but we will just keep pressing forward. On the way home, I bought a huge watermelon, which was so good!!! It helped with the rough day.
Friday-Saturday
Well, today we studied 4 Nephi, which is so good. I made spaghetti for lunch, which wasn’t too bad. After, we worked in the rain and taught this lady that told me I have something special about me that is different. She wants to get baptized. We then taught this lady with so many dogs!
Saturday, I made mac n cheese. Food is so bland here that it tasted so good! After, we fasted. Fasting is one amazing and special gift from our Father in Heaven. We left and taught a guy named Oscar. He was so embarrassed to be with us. We got rejected a lot again. We were exhausted with having so many doors slammed in our faces.
Sunday
Sunday was good. Our priesthood meeting was so crazy! There were 15 grown men yelling at each other on who is right about what to teach next week. I played, well tried to play the guitar after church. I’m going to learn how to play it. Then we taught this older lady and she thought I was from here. Lol so funny!
Lastly, remember this one thing for the week, it’s not a sacrifice if you get more in return”
