Hello family friends, I’ll start out by saying. Congrats to
the San Francisco Giants..... hahahahahah sorry I couldn’t help myself. Anyways
it’s been the best week yet here in the mission field. It’s also been the rainiest
week yet. But I like the rain; it gives us a break from the 110 degree weather.
I hope everyone had a great Halloween cause it doesn't exist here. This week we
taught a lot. After 2 months here the area is starting to roll. We have the opportunity
to teach a lot of families. One family came to church this week. Which is a big
accomplishment since coming to church is struggle for the people here. They
were even soo dedicated that it was pouring rain and they showed up on their
little scooter completely drenched. And then the first class they ever
experienced was a class on the law of chastity...... But they said they loved
it soooo yay!
One day this week it was pouring, and we had to walk a good mile
in the rain. I was completely soaked from socks to my stylish missionary
haircut.
But the truth is that those are moments I will never forget. Last
night, we were teaching a family and the mom hates us. She told her sister that
we brought diseases from the United States. But for some reason last night she
listened to us. I’m not sure exactly what we said it was probably just my homie
the spirit and she just opened up to us. She said that she wants to stop
drinking she wants to change but she doesn't know how. We just bore testimony
that through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that we can change and find
happiness. You know I've really realized the importance of a mission. There are
people that need this gospel more than I need the two years I gave up. But the
other thing I realized is how easy it is for people to have missionary
experiences even though they aren't a missionary. I’m just some white kid form P-Town Utah, but I’m
serious try sharing your testimony with a friend. Try giving out a book of Mormon.
The amount of joy you will feel with give you a feeling that you will just want
more and more of. Anyways love this gospel I know its true. Love all you peeps.
Eat some Halloween candy for me. :)
