So, another good week filled with incredible food, another box
of anti diarrareal consumed (yeah, im forgetting how to spell) and a
bunch of investigatores promising to go to church, and not going!!! yeah
i know righgt? just kidding, some of em came, theyre the good ones, ha,
im starting to learn whose actually sincere in their desires to come
closer to christ and who just says it cuz it sounds cool, eventually ill
be pro at reading these people just like ammon with limonhi, thatll be
dope!!!
So tuesday we had to go shoppingh for a bunch of stuff for
the new house, and i passed this guy that makes boxing bags and gloves
and all the goods, and he hooked it up fat with all that stuff for like
10 bucks, called one of my homie investigatores to install it in the
house and all of the sudden my companion has to call me mike tyson, its
bien padre... hahaha that means cool.... but yeah, something to spice up
my workouts, making things a little bit more fun, yeha, you could say i
enjoy getting up at 630 in the am now...
Wednesday was my favorite day this week, we have this
awesome family in our ward who has a special needs daughter who has
about 25 years who cant go to church that often because she is on some
heavy meds for her epilepsy that make her sleep a toooon! but we ran
into her mom and i asked if we could come read the book of mormon with
her just for like 20 minutes a day once a week... oh my gosh so much
fun!!! her spirit is so sweet and reading the scrips with her was
hilarious, she asked usually about 2 or 3 questions every verse so it
lasted for about 45 minutes but i loved every second of it!!! reminds
me of all my friends back of bingham, and for this one im giving a big
shout out to hayden cuz i miss that kid!!!! hahaha but seriously, ahhh
so muich fun!
thursday we had interviews with pres, he interviews everyone
every 2-3 monthes, its so weird to think that its already been that
long, it feels like just this morning i had my entrance interview here
in the field and pres was setting goals for my studies and for the
language, it felt even better when he told me ive met those goals and am
doing better then expected (i didnt tell him about the diarrheal)
hahahaha we also had some really good lessons with a few of the jehovas
witness, ha, they actually went relaly good, change is hard but we know
with the help of god all things are possible, so weve just been moving
line upon line with them and its finally starting to feel like were
getting somewhere!
friday we found a couple of teenage kids messing around and
told em were going to teach em, talked to em about drinking because
everyone drinks here, and it was so cool, theyre both like 16 but they
were so cool with everytghing and idk it was just fun to teach kids
because we could talk about sports and stuff too!!! hahaha, we worked
hard and planned alot for the big even we had this weekend!!!
i was pretty dissappointed when president said that we had
to watch conference in espanol, but i prayed for some help to understand
it and i got it!! oh my gosh, every single session was really good and
it was even better to have some investigators show up feel the spirit
and then be like, ya know what, your right, those guys really too tlak
to god ahhhH! i hope everyone watched conference but more important i
hope everyone watched it and really is trying to get something ou of it
because there was something in there for everyone!!!
-also want to give a big shout out to my boi riley culley! dig deep baby! OLFLH-
last but not least i want to talk about the familia aline that we
contacted on sunday, oh my gosh.... their mom passed away a few years
back and are still struggling with that, we taught em the plan of
salvation and the spirit was so hard in the room and they were all
crying and really it was just such a blessing to be a part of that...
thats what i came here to do, help people and this is the first time ive
relally seen the gospel really bring that peace and tranquility into
real peoples lives and help them day to day!! im so grateful to be able
to bring the message of christ into peoples lives and if anyone out
theres reading this and just needs someone to lean on christ is
waiting!! i know that, ive seen that, and ive felt that! have a good
week everyone and dont forget, hes always watching, and always waiting
to lend a hand!!!
with love... -elda hicks
