Alright! So I cant believe I forgot to tell you all last time, but we got robbed! Not last week, but right before. Like friday night I think....Something like that. They just took my new wallet so se fueron my temple recomend, drivers license and several other personal things. So that kinda stinks, but at least they didnt try to take my bag. The guy was totally stupid too. He had his hand in his pants to make it look like he had a gun and he looked like he was about to pee his pants. I kinda just wanted to pull out some black belt all over his face, but there are rules against that. Anyway...
So this week was...interesting. We kept teachin the folks, found some more folks and did lots of missionary things. haha One point of interest, I have chikonguna! Thats kind of like Dengue less strong. I got a fever and stuff and now there's a giant rash all over my body.
So Saturday, we had a White Night, where lots of people from all over the stake were baptized. That was great and that is where young Yilbert was baptized.
I also want to tell you about one of our lessons with Angela Ramirez. She was an oldish investigator (person that was taught previously by missionaries) and was kind of put on hold because she was so busy. She is still really busy, but I felt that we had to visit her because Elder Johnson told me she had been to church various times, had a testimony of the church and wanted to continue learning. GOLD! Now she has started to read in the BoM and praying alot. She still doesnt want to get baptized though because she has doubts about a few things and wants a surer knowledge of the BoM. Anyway, the last lesson with her was amazing. She also had told us that there was something bad in her life that was keeping her from being baptized. So, we had planned to talk to her about the atonement and the power of prayer. We brought her best friend, who is also a return missionary, and proceeded to teach like one of the best lessons of my mission. Well, the Spirit did anyway. We started off with the story of Enos to explain about prayer, the power of faith and its role in forgivness. Then we moved on to the story of Alma the younger. Afterward, we transitioned to Alma 7 that talks about the importance of baptism and how we shouldnt be afraid to follow God. Then we all bore our testimonies and personal experiences about The Atonement in our lives. The Spirit was so strong. We also answered alot of the questions she had and left her with 2nd Nephi 4 to read. She really wants to be baptized, just doesnt feel ready yet. At the end, I asked her how she feels when we visit her. She said that she always feels at peace and happy, even though she knows we're going to talk about baptism which stresses her out. We testified that all these good feelings that she had were The Spirit, testifying to her. I cant describe all of what happened, nor the feelings that were had, but wow. That was a really great lesson. There is so much power in the Book of Mormon. Well, I do believe thats all. I love you all and I hope you all have a great week!!
We took a temple trip with investigators.
Not sure if I sent any of these before, but Here's the yankee facility. Piece by piece.
Filipe! Our investigator.
Theres also this swell Baseball Museum! We took the assistants and office Elders and they all about hicieron poo poo en sus pantalones [pooped their pants], especially in the facility. They said it was the best Pday of their missions and Im now the favorite of all. :)
Yilbert got baptized!
