"I'm an alien from Jupiter...and how are you?"
Jieloo!
How are y'all doin'? Hope everyone is doing Great!
My week has been very good a little crazy but very good, here are a few things that happened.
1. Transfers
We got transfer notices and im staying here in O'Higgins But I got a different companion my new comp is Elder Rodrick! So that will be a bit different!😂 it's going great! He is getting to know the people here in our area, and we are trying to find a bunch of new people!
2. Piano
One of the people we are teaching is named Daniel(he is awesome!) We are teaching him the gospel and also a little bit of how to play the piano! It's great he is learning them both so quickly, he played the Hymn Count Your Blessings in sacrament meeting it was great!
3. Pan Amasado
We found this family that sells bread they are great and the bread is delicious! We have stopped by their house several times bought bread and made good friends with them and have had some great lessons with them but this last week the dad got home and we stopped by once and the dad looked angry and didn't really say hi to us but the mom looked at the dad and told us now isn't a good time. So we left a little sad and confused about why and what happened later the mom explained to us that her husband hates Mormons and white people and me and my comp are very white and "Mormon"😂 we thought that was a little weird. But we stopped by later in the week and tried to talk to them a little bit but the dad came out and just started yelling at us and telling us not to come back. It hurts my heart because the rest of the family is so nice and kind with desire to learn about the gospel. But because of the dad we can't help them nor exist, or even say hi to them. It makes me so sad how hard his heart has become, and that he won't even allow his family to be friends with us. Please pray for him so his heart will soften and he will at least let his family learn.
4 guys that speak English
We Met some guys from Florida and taught the Restoration in English!! It was so weird and also so hard it really ended up being more Spanglish because they also know Spanish it was really interesting but very good!
5. Spiritual thought
This week I was reading the story of Ammon and King Lamoni! It is so good! And it made me think of a great example Ammon is for us, he was a truly dedicated follower of Christ. His story is really cool because he starts by realizing what he knows and the blessings he had received because of what he knew. And he wanted to share it was EVERYONE! Even the opposing team in the battles. And he went forth trusting in the Lord(almost died) and went to the land of King Lamoni where is was bound with rope and brought before the king to most likely be killed. Buts in this moment his only desire was to serve him. The king let him serve him and was very impressed and offered him his whole kingdom, his daughter as a wife and many other things. But Ammon only wanted him to hear and believe his message! I think that we can learn so very much from Ammon today in our lives, I know if we dedicate our lives and desires to God He, like He did with Ammon, will exalt our works, and bless us with true joy in this life and the life to come, I know that God and Jesus love you and me! And blesses us daily!
