hello beautiful! this week was a ride. let me explain. elder scott and i had an amazing lesson with this investigator that we found! well, an investigators mom. basically, we found this one guy who had some serious problems with drugs and with alcohol. we set a return cita with him a couple days in the future. when we came to the door, his mom answered and said that we moved to a rehabilitation center where he could get some help. we told the mom that we prepared a lesson for him, and asker her if she wanted to hear it. we taught her and the spirit was so strong in the room! the message of the restoration of the gospel is literally such an amazing thing. she started crying during the middle of the lesson and was thinking about how the spirit was testifying to her that the message that we were sharing was true. we invited her to be baptized, and she said yes! such an awesome experience to be able to help her out. ok now let me explain the subject of the email. we have this investigator, right? his name is gaido (hi-do). he is ten years old and is in a rock climbing club. he told us that he has dreams to be just like whiz khalifa minus the drugs and the alcohol). my companion told me that i knew how to rap, and he threw a beat at me. under the pressure of the moment, i went straight to "anaconda" by nicki manaj. needless to say, he was very impressed and asked me what the lyrics meant. i had to tell him to look them up later because A) i dont know how to translate any of that stuff yet and B) they are raunchy. down here, sometimes you are just literally exhausted from working so much. for example, my companion and i passed out in the chapel while we were planning........then woke up 15 minutes later and continued planning. the exhaustion is all worth it though! do not get me wrong sometimes missions are H A R D. but every effort that you put into the work is worth it! i have to skidaddle though. love all of you! EKW beyond eternally grateful for this kid...transfers are next week, and im literally crushed sharing is caring
