Blessings
Tuesday - Wednesday
Well we were walking home and I had a feeling to look down only to find a huge snake! A person gave me a shovel to kill it and they told us it’s like super venomous. Miracles! Well, we taught 5 lessons today, what a blessing, and we had a family home evening with Beatrice. We brought our D.O.M and I talked most of the time because my comp is still working on his Spanish. It was awesome though, we got asked really hard questions about, if we should forgive people who kill, problems in life, why bad things happen to good people. It was so spiritual, my comp and I work really well together. We are seeing miracles here! Since we are so close, for our workouts we run on the beach in the morning.
Wednesday, I had a miracle happen. I was riding my bike super fast and hit a pothole. I somersaulted over my bike. It hurt so bad and my bike was destroyed, but my head was ok and nothing was broken haha. We talked to this lady that doesn’t have electricity, so we used candles. The lady didn’t want to hear anything unless we read about it in the book of Mormon. So we taught out of the book Mormon and my comp didn’t understand. It’s crazy that I was in his footsteps a couple of months ago. The blessing of the gift of tongues is real. The lesson was amazing and the spirit was really strong. The lady had about 15 cats haha.
Thursday - Friday
We had breakfast with a member. We had these biscuits and they were so good. It was Columbia food. After, we went and taught this guy named Maicol. He is awesome. He wants to live the commandments and be baptized, just needs to get married and put a ring on it lol! We also taught this man named Pablo. Pablo is a homey! He is super old but he asked awesome questions, like why in Utah was the church restored and why did it happen in North America and not here. Super cool questions! We laughed a lot with him. I’m teaching my comp how to teach more and helping him on the way. The mission is the hardest and best two years of your life. On Friday, I have been reading in Alma 8-9 about Alma and Amulek. How cool and powerful would it be to hear them teach? Pretty amazing. I’m trying to be like them in the mission field to be bold and have faith in that Lord, who is guiding us.
Friday - Saturday
Friday, we taught Blanca with a member, it was awesome. It was about faith and the spirit was so strong! After, we planned our week on top of our roof lol, it was awesome. We then went and taught this lady, Isabel. I made handshakes with all the kids. We then went to the house of Beatriz. We had a whole lesson planned and I felt prompted to talk about a different thing and it was the exact thing she needed. The spirit was so strong!!
Saturday was a crazy day. We fasted and then had a lesson with Pablo. Pablo is such a homey and we showed him the church and gave him a tour. He always asks so many questions, which is awesome. We showed him a video, which was so cool. He is always laughing with us. Well, on the way home it was the scariest thing ever, we got chased by a group of guys. They were super drunk. They tried to steal our backpack and who knows what else. I have never rode a bike so fast in my life. Ahh, It was scary! Elder Harper and I made a molten cake with ice cream and muffins, so good!
Sunday
What a day! We had 5 people come to church. I sat with Beatrice. She loves to sing but she is like three notes behind everyone else, so funny. Well, we went and taught a couple of people. I had a feeling to touch on this door and it was this family that received us with open arms. It was crazy! I told my comp, it’s amazing how the spirit just takes over. This family is so perfect and the spirit was so strong. I told my comp things like this only happen in the Ensign, lol. Such a blessing! After, we had pancakes with a member and I made syrup without maple, lol we got creative.
