BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!!
This week was good! We had some
great lessons and I’m excited for some of the people that we’re teaching! We’re
starting to teach a young couple that has a 5 year old. They’re way great and
nice and I’m excited for them to progress. We did splits this week and it was
fun getting to know other Elders and listen to them talk about their families
and why they’re serving a mission. Every missionary has their own style of
doing things and it’s fun to work with them and see their testimonies in
action. I know each one of us has a special testimony because were all special
children or God! We are all given different talents so that we can work
together! We must acknowledge the strengths in everybody and support them or
help them in the things in which they struggle! We seek for good in all things.
13th Article Of Faith
We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous,
and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition
of Paul- We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many
things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or
praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
-Joseph Smith
This week some funny stuff happened:
First, a lady took down our names
and wanted to know our "boss" because she thought we somehow found
out where she lived but we were just knocking doors.
Second, we were walking by an old
truck on the way home and it snagged my pants. It took a good chunk out. Chao
pants. haha
Third, and then yesterday we were
walking past some houses when a dog that seemed nice, growled and almost bit me. So, instinctively I pulled my little Peruvian
Companion in front of me and got behind him, but when I put him in front of me
I tripped (yes, I’m still clumsy) and almost fell on my face. Oh and a group of
teenagers were passing by on the other side of the road and got a good show. We
started busting up laughing and so did the teenagers. Good times... haha
My birthday went great, except that
nobody that were teaching came to church. Big bummer but they’ll come next
week. In the morning I woke up at normal time, 6:30 and right away opened the
presents. I love them all! Thank you so much everybody!!!! Church was really
great and nobody knew it was my birthday, so it was nice. After church we
went to lunch at a members house and the family had bought a PIG and on Saturday they took it to a
bread store because it was the only place that had an oven big enough to
fit it. It was really good! My first time eating pig like that! At night we
taught a part member family and they fed us hot dogs. Only condiment... mayo, of
course. Then at night I made the cake that you sent me. It turned out
PERFECTTTT! My comp thinks I’m a good cook. ha I just told him that I am
the son of my momma!
