Starting off the week we had our ward halloween party! We invited bertha and her family and they came!!! It was kinda awkward at first cuz my comp left me to go across the gym and I was just stuck with them and had no idea what to say to her so kinda just sitting there awkwardly hahaha. Some of the members went up to her and introduced themselves so thats good!! They kinda saved us ngl. Bertha is the single mother who we’ve been teaching. She has progressed so much! We invited her to church this sunday and she came!! We heard from one of the members when we were eating dinner at their house and they said Bertha told them one of her friends invited her to another church and she said no I want to go our church and her friend was like no don’t go but basically she told her friend that she loves our church. We are hoping to put her on date for baptism this week! Keep her in your prayers please! Shes struggling super bad rn trying to find a job. Idek how shes still getting by at this point. We promised that if she read the BoM for 7 consecutive days she will see a miracle with trying to find a job. So please pray for her! Back to the party… You may remember the crazy little old lady. Well she back for another email! She is hilarious. She just makes fun of me all the time for my awful spanish. The sistrict was in charge of coloring peoples hair and she came up and wanted her hair colored so we did hahaha super funny. After she made me get my hair done and I asked if she liked my hair and she just starts laughing so basically instead of me asking if she liked my hair I asked if she liked my horse hahahha. But fr she is awesome. She gave all of us candy that may have been from last easter but I ate it all anyways. She also gave us these chili powder suckers. Suprisingly it was pretty good! Then at the end I gave her a baseball and she literally had me sign it for her soooo basically I’m just her fav. All the hermanas are super scared of her but she is hilarious. Love that little old lady so much.
Crisenzo is a straight baller! He’s a kid my age. He’s so dope. We’ve had a couple lessons with him that were straight fire and he knows The Book of Mormon is true. He says whenever he meets with us he always feels so calm and peaceful which is lit!! Hopefully he will keep progressing like how he is!! Oziel… Man idek what we are gonna do with this dude. He literally loves us so much and calls me his little brother but he won’t even try to read the BoM! Idk we will see what happens!
This week we rode some bikes to walmart which was not fun. Biking sucks lol. My comp on the way back from walmart hit a little speed bump thing trying to get some air and totally ate crap and tore up his pants and ruined his shoes. Not gonna lie it was so funny. Don’t worry I made sure he was okay before laughing at him.
Had a devotional with Elder Gong, his sense of humor is kinda weird but super funny. One of the things I loved from that was he said “Rotten wood can not be carved” what I got from that is that we need to be the change the world needs during these times. We need to be the strong “wood” of the world we need God to be able to work through us. He will “carve” us to be what he needs us to be. I was reading in The epistle of James, and I read one of the verses Joseph Smith had read when he was wondering which church was true, which reads “ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God,” Just that one verse kinda made me think and honestly I have been caught up in my prayers asking for blessings but instead like this verse said “If any of you lack wisdom,” I lack wisdom. I should be asking for knowledge and understanding for what I can to do to solve my problems or to know what I can do to overcome them.
Hope you guys are all staying safe love you all! Shoot me an email I’d love to hear from you guys!
