Hey yall,Well this week i have a lot of time to write yall so here goes the list i made to write yall about... so last week i sent a pic of my crotch to yall showing off my stitching skills.. haha but looking at my clothes this week i realized everything is falling apart.. almost all my socks have wholes in the toes and some are pink now cause they got bleached.. i have had to stitch two pairs of pants and all of the 4 pairs i wear a lot arent the same color as they were when i started. they are all pretty faded.. then my shirts are getting yellow and i ripped one and threw it away and then another one also has a hole in it.. and my shoes are terrible now..
i wear my boots though most of the time now but i gotta to buy new shoes! there are some nice hush puppy ones that i could buy but they cost 60 dollars.. also i sewed my sweater the other day too cause it got a hole in it even though i never wear it!! ok so theres another chicken killing pic too..
then there are some other ones that i am sending of just places we found in our area that were cool looking..
dad if you figure out my preisthood line back to joseph smith that be pretty cool too see.. so the other night a lady invited us to eat with them and so 6 of us were over there.. we shared a message with them about the temple and families. it was legit and the spirit was super strong.. they are inactives and a daughter/sister of them died about months.. after the lesson.. the sister of the lady who died started balling and tellling us that she felt the spirit strong during the lesson and how she knew everything that we said was true.. it was really cool.. then the next night we had another cool lesson with one of our investigators that is 22 years old.. he told us that his parents and him were all baptized in different churches.. then we explained to him the gospel of Jesus Christ.. which is the faith repentance baptism holy ghost and enduringt to the end.. he understood every part perfectly and asked us if he needed to be baptized again and we told him yes and explained why.. the spirit was really strong and he knows what he needs to do.. we had him pray to see if he should be baptized next month but the only problem is he is working every sunday in the morning.. but we will see what happens.. he has even told us how he even wishes he could be a missionary like us some day. anyway he is legit but we will see tonight if he got his answer.. and i also told him that we need to always put the things of God first and everything else follows he understands that just his economic situation is not good but ill let yall know how that goes and pray for him please.. then last week we walked a ton!! it was ridiculous..
my legs are so tired and it doesnt help that our area is giant and its not flat!! but i am kind of getting used to it.. we also did divisions last week and that was really good. our DL has 22 months and helped me realize some things i could do better to be a better and more efficient missionary... also happy birthday to all yall who have birthdays this month and had birthdays last month and december... sorry i dont keep up with the days very well.. also yesterday in church i had to give a talk cause the speakers didnt show up.. i was nervous about it but it was just about faith so i just shared a couple scriptures and a talked about faith.. it wasnt very hard and it was even in spanish.. i am not gonna be so nervous speaking in front of people when i get back itll just be hard doing it in english for a bit.. umm like i said we worked super hard last week and it was good we had 23 lessons and 13 new investigators and 121 contacts or we knocked a ton of doors. it was a good week thoug and its crazy that we are alread half way through this change!.. me and my comp are doing good he just still likes to be controlling of the lessons but me vale! haha anyway its not too bad though and sometimes i just have to beat him to talking and alot of the people talk to him if they need something instead of me cause he talks a lot more then me.. but thats kind of hard cause in my first two areas everybody loved me and here they talk to him cause he doesnt really let me talk much.. but i hope i am not with him next change but we will see.. anyway also yesterday antonio came to chruch.. he had a baptismal date put when i got here but didnt ever want to come to church. . wed talk to him though but on sat they had an activity for the youth and he went to it.. then in church yesterday he showed up with his family and they are all members.. we were super surprised and he stayed for all three hours.. it was pretty cool and he has friends so we are gonna see if we can teach him a little more frequently and involve the young me.. anyway that was my week...
my thought this week would be just remember always to do things that will help your faith grow.. like the talk i gave yesterday we can see miracles in our lives if we have faith and it is the will of God.. we need to read the scriptures though everyday, pray, go to church, and have our FHEs so that we can have more faith and have stronger testimonies that Jesus Christ lives and that this is his church today!! i love yall a ton and take care ill try and send more pics if i have time!! thanks for everything!
