ill have you know, while on the mission, sometimes we get SO TIRED. we get up, we do exercises, we study, go out and walk for like 8 hours on end every day. sometimes, i get SUPER loopy. i see like a broken shard of glass on the ground and i LOSE it. i laugh hysterically. when we were walking down the street, our cita fell and there was absolutely no body out and about because it gets so hot that people dont even leave their houses. longhurst and i saw a pigeon and i was like," what if pigeons evolved into something greater than they already are." my comp promptly responded with, "what if they grew gorilla arms and started running at you on all fours." not going to lie, i was on the ground crying from laughter, hence the title of this blog post. now yall are in on the inside joke! about every day its like that. longhurst and i are practically best friends and we go out and work so hard and laugh even harder!
this week was absolutely filled with miracles for the two of us. in this sector, its a little harder to find new people to teach and its a little harder for us to keep the people that we teach. for example, we find some one and then they completely disappear from the face of the planet. we call and text and go to their house and never again will we see Jared or Nancy or anyone. its a little hard, but its ok. HOWEVER. we were out contacting one day and literally 9 a clock at night. we were trying to find a reference that we received from the other part of the mission saying that there was a nice hatian girl looking for for an answer to her prayers. so when we were contacting, we found another hatian family in that same house this girl lived in. our reference wasnt there, but we were able to contact them and talk to them about our beliefs! we talked about the restoration on their doorstep, and they invited us in. fun fact they were all protestants but they were all soooo willing to listen. we got a return cita and when we came back, they all read their homework and prayed to find out if this is the true church! its going to be a fun ride with this family. this week as well, we were able to put a baptismal fecha with one of our friends named Fabre. he is going to shoot to get baptized for the 27th of march, but the only thing that he is struggling with is getting to church and his work.....its a work in progress but igual. another PSYCHO experience we had was when a member took us over to his friends house in our sector. he was feeling a little down and wanted to know how he could overcome his tribulations in this life. so, we went over and he told us a story about how his dad had passed away and he felt no remorse nor sadness when he left. he knew that he was somewhere waiting for something, but he didnt know for what reason...he also told us that when he got out of bed at like 2 in the morning, he saw his dad dressed in white laying next to him...when he described to us what he was wearing, he literally almost WORD FOR WORD described the sacred clothes that we use in the temples!! its was a CRAZY experience for longhurst and i, and it was amazing to know that the plan of salvation is SO true. when we left that cita, we were shook out of our minds. sadly, we had to send the reference to some elders in another mission because our members friend lives SUPER far away. we have hopes for him! other than that, not much has happened....we got a reference to go and visit a crack house. that was fun. hope you guys have a good week though!!!! stay healthy and warm!! down here we are healthy and completely changing ethnicity with how tan we are getting! ekw
