YO YO whats up people?!?!
Today has been a good day. We woke up at
5:20 to go play some bball with the zone but then randomly a bunch of old ladies
showed up and started doing like zumba or some dance thing right in the middle
of the court without saying anything to us. haha
I actually was pretty mad
that I woke up at 5:20 on a pday to play bball just to get bullied by a bunch of
old ladies hahah. I really just wanted to keep playing inbetween them until they
got the point that we were still gonna play, but now that I'm a
missionary I figured that might start problems and look bad so we chose to
leave. My companion is great. He is from the Dominican Republic, loves basketball and is way nice.
This week has been good we found some really cool families. We were
teaching this one dude and he was super cool and I felt the impression that I
should challenge him to get baptized. We had just barely met him like 5 minutes
ago but I decided to go for it. He accepted and I started talking about how Christs loves us and what he did for us when he came to the earth and he started
crying and told us that he was going to church and was super excited.
So I was
super pumped about him and his family but they didn't go to church. It is
really hard to bring people to church here. If you don't have a car you have to
either take 2 buses and that takes like an hour and 15 min or one bus and walk
for 30 min which takes like an hour hahah and church starts at 8:30 so I really
think the people want to progress I just think that their motivation dies in the
morning when they have to wake up at 6:30 to get there at 8:30 but I still have
faith in this area!!
When we were walking to church the other day some dude that
was like half crazy was telling us all this stuff and how people wanna kidnap
his neighbor but that his other neighbor wants to kill him and he needed our
help. Really I did not understand too much and neither did my comp
but he asked us if he could come to church with us and we were like ok. But as we
were walking I was thinking that it would be really bad if who ever was looking
for him showed up at the church and started shooting the place up so I talked to
my comp for a sec and he thought we would we be ok but I went up to the guy and I asked him if we were gonna put the members of the church in danger and he was
like no I don't think so we are all good, but I still didn't know so I said a prayer
asking if I should tell this guy if he could come with us or not. I felt calmer
afterwards so I figured it would all be good. And he came to church and nothing
happened. He was like about to throw up during all of church doing this
weird gaging thing but never threw up so it was a pretty strange situation.
I love you all!!!! Remember that God wants you to talk to him in
prayer every day so we can have his help always!!! ALMA 37:37
