This last week was AWESOME!
3 New families to teach! 2 are super super awesome and are going to be baptized
in 3 weeks. 1 family... not so much... it was a bunch of ladies and the poor
old guy in the house and all the ladies were more interested in where I was
from and my hair cut than what my companion and I were trying to explain to
them about the Book of Mormon.
Me: "The Book of Mormon is..."
Them: "So what's your first name."
Me: "Nephi is the first prophet in the Book of
Mormon"
Them: "Is it really nice in California"
Me: "Nephi wanted to do the Lord's will to recieve
blessings for his family"
Them: "Do you have a girl friend?"
Me: "We're going to end with a prayer now..."
So that's a little exaggerated (Hal Hampton) but I really lose
my patience with some people who don't even care what I am saying... "I am
trying to save your soul and you don't even listen long enough to understand
that!" We find a lot of people in Satiago, lots of people to teach, but
only a few really listen to what we are saying... I understand a little bit
more how Christ felt when trying to teach people and the Pharisees and Scribes
and Jewish Leaders would just ask stupid questions and try to throw Him off or
change the subject... "Let's end with a prayer now..."
Slept on the roof last night. The eclipse was awesome to
watch... I don't know if California got to see it.
My P-days are very routine. 0730 hrs wake up. Wash something
and clean something until 0900 hrs Hermano Jimenez First Counselor in our
Branch picks us up to play futbol in the church. 1100 hrs Walk around in Centro
for an hour people watching and looking at cool things to buy that I will never
buy. 1300 hrs buy some bags of milk... 1pckt of noodles... rice... that's about
it. 1500 hrs Nap/Lunch/Letters/Study/Wash
Clothes/Make ties/Clean House/Kill bugs/etc until 1900 hrs when we leave the
house to teach. It's too hot to leave the house during the afternoon..... pure
desert. We aren't in Summer yet, but as you guys are in "Fall" (yeah
right. Like Fall exists in the Coachella Valley) we are in Spring
(Pre-Summer)... really similar weather.
Please pray that:
People come to General Conference this next Week.
Paola and Marcos will be baptized on the 10th.
That Luis and Victoria will get married in 2 weeks.
That Leo and Flavia will receive an answer about the Book of
Mormon and that they have enough Faith to act upon their answer.
That we keep finding complete families where the Dad wants
to be baptized as well.
I love you all very much!
