I’m not
feeling so good. I have been quite sick this week, with fever and such, so I
don’t know how fast I can write. Bleh.
BUT anyway,
picking up from last time...
Tuesday of
last last week, I had district class in the morning. Then we got to have lunch
in our apartment! Yay! This happens sometimes when the members give us food and
for some reason can’t have us at their house that day. We don’t complain
because that gives us some relax time! Later that day we taught an older couple
who is investigating the church and their evangelical friend. It was an
interesting lesson. They were all very respectful and the couple was quite
receptive to our lesson. They felt like the Book of Mormon made sense and that
the church would need to be restored. So we’re excited for them. :) The
evangelical friend had many questions and she was definitely trying to find
fault with us. By the end she seemed satisfied and happy with us. :) If nothing
else, I just want people to be more understanding of our religion. So it was
good.
I learned in
the Living Prophets class, that our generation has been promised that we will
all have at least one revelation by dream. Interesting huh?
One of the
questions the woman asked was about revelation and if we believe we can receive
it, or only our prophet. My companion explained that we can all receive
revelation for ourselves and our families. She gave an example from her life
about how she had a dream that came true and she believes it was revelation for
her family. She said, in short, that she dreamed she saw her young cousins and
some nephews playing in a river and she was standing on the other side. She
looked down at the river and noticed a big whirlpool. The kids didn’t seem to
notice it because there was a big rock in the way. She said in her dream she
started yelling for them to watch out, but they didn’t hear her. When she woke
up she said she felt confused at first and wasn’t sure what to think about the
dream. As she started going about her day, she forgot about it. Later that
evening, her family got a call that a cousin had drowned in a river in the
country. She then remembered her dream again very clearly. I don’t know why she
received the dream as opposed to someone else in her family, or if she was
given the dream and she was supposed to help warn them? Or maybe the Lord knew
it would be a way to help strengthen her testimony later? I don’t know...
interesting though. A lot of people down here have dreams. I think most
testimonies or things that are felt are hard to believe unless a person
experiences it for themselves. You know?
Anyway, later
that day, we had correlation with the mission leader of our ward. We just got a
new one, and he is great! He has been very dedicated to his calling and is
really trying to do everything he can to fulfill it! :)
Wednesday of
last last week I got to help make bread in a little store here. We actually
went to teach the woman at the register, since she had asked us to come back
another day. She was busy so we asked is we could help. She said no, but maybe
her husband might want help making the bread; and he invited us back! We didn’t
end up helping much besides for moral support and trying a couple of things. But
it was way interesting to watch! The guy has major muscles from making bread
all the time. Now I understand why in The
Hunger Games the author said Peeta was strong because he was a bread maker.
Haha. So that was fun! :)

Thursday of
last last week we visited a family from the church who is awesome and fun. In a
way, they remind me of our family a little. They told me lots of fun names of
characters in Spanish compared to English, such as:
Bugs Bunny =
Conejo de la suerte
Star Wars =
La guerra de la galaxia
Goofy = Tribilin
Micky Mouse =
Ratton Miguel
And others,
but those are the most funny! :)
Friday of
last last week we had an interesting experience with the English class. We had
two investigators at it. Yay! One even came on the spur of the moment, right
before the class started. We found him and told him we have free English
classes, then invited him to come. He actually came with us right then! So that
was cool. :)
Saturday last
last week, we met an interesting old lady to start off our workday. I don’t
have time to tell u all about her right now though.
And I am out of time AGAIN! I shall eventually catch up.
