Happy
Fathers Day fathers, gradnfathers, or future fathers!!
This
week was great! We were able to find a bunch of new people to teach and they
are all awesome. Then we had a stake activity where every ward was assigned a
country and had to rehearse and perform a typical dance and prepare food and
stuff about thatq country. Mexico and Colombia were awesome so I attatched a
couple videos of the performances... sorry for the bad quality haha
We
had an awesome investigator named Vanessa come and she is originally from
Colombia so she loved it! We were then able to go and teach her this week along
with her family, and it was quite fun hahaha We couldn´t teach anything
specific because they just keep asking question after question after question.
We talked about the Restoration, the Plan of Salvation, Baptism and a lot of
other commandments. It was really fun.
This
week we also almost killed our investigator... We invited Paola to a Noche de
Hogar with our ward mission leader so we walk there together, but little did we
know.. Paola can´t really climb stairs, and Eugenio lives on the 5th floor.
Turns out Paola has a heart problem where her two heart valves are merged into
one so physical exertion is dangerous for her.. I offered to give her a piggy
back ride but she didn´t accept and just fought through it all the way up. She
is so awesome, and such a good sport about all of it.
In
other news, in case you didn´t know, Spanish is different in different
countries. Every country has their own sayings and phrases. So we teaching our
new friends from Colombia who are backpacking through south america and they
asked us about the mission. They asked us if we "echar los perros"
which means like throw out the dogs or reject them, so i said " no! me
encanta los perros!" everyone started laughing because it turns out that
phrase in other countries means to flirt with men or something like that so i
basically replied " no i love the men!".... Spanish is a struggle.
Here
is the scripture that is the topic of study this change in my mission. The
challenge is to honestly think about these questions. If we have experienced
this mighty change of heart and if no, what can we do to feel it. And if yes,
can we feel it now, and if not why not?
Alma
5:14, 26
14
And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually
been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye
experienced this mighty change in your hearts?
26 And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have
experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of
redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?
Love you all! Have a great week!
