This week has been really slow. Our first baptism we were supposed to have, fell
through. Her mother was very Catholic and did not want her to be baptized. This
week we also did not teach very many lessons. There were a lot of meetings and a
lot of our investigators were not home at the times that we would stop by their house. Me and Elder Martinez are going to shift our focus this next week to
finding more investigators to teach and visit some old investigators whose
situations might have changed about the gospel. We also found a golden
investigator this week. He was a reference from a different missionary. He had
been going to Church but in the wrong ward. The other missionaries had not
really taught him, but they had given him a Book of Mormon and some other random
church books like principles of the gospel and a hymn book and two Liahonas. He
is half way through Alma, he has been reading principles of the gospel and cross
referencing in the Book of Mormon, he loves that hymn book, and he
STUDIES the Liahona, not just reads. He told us that he loves the church
and it just makes so much sense. The only problem is he needs to get married to
his wife before they can be baptized... why does marriage have to be so
expensive!! It costs $50 to get married here. That's a lot for people here.
This is one of the things that happened this week that will make you laugh. Remember Scott's story about trying to make hot water with a rock and some wire.
missionaries do dumb things. we had a fan in the house that hasn't worked and i
thought to myself. i bet i could fix that. well i open up the fan to find out a
cord has just fallen out. i thought i have messed with enough cords in my day to
fix this, so i grab my leather-man and fix the fan. well what i didn't notice was
that in fixing the fan i was letting the cords that need to be separated touch.
so when i plugged it in there was a flash. i dropped the cord and started
laughing. i shocked my thumb. the electricity in the cord had broken the cord in
five different spots... the fan is now in the garbage. i was fine except for a
blister on my thumb. I could not stop laughing i though it was hilarious, because like father like
son right.
Had some medical issues this week and they had to stay back at their casa since last Wednesday. He said they cleaned the entire house, read My Heritage and Our Search for Happiness.
