| Hey Y'all! Tudo Bem!? This
week was pretty good. We were able to stay busy and teach a lot of
people. We were almost out of miles in our car, so we had to walk to
most of our in-person appointments. That was a fun experience and
included two different threats by some people in the neighborhood. So
fun times🤙🏻 Wednesday
we were getting gas, and some guy came up to us and told us that he had
been looking for the missionaries for years and hadn't been able to find
them, and he said his name was DJ. So we made an appointment and he
said his kids would be there also. So we went to the appointment and
found about 20 kids there! Only 8 were his, but most of his nieces and
nephews were there too. The oldest was about 15 and the youngest was a
couple months old. And his wife was pregnant. Then as our lesson
progressed we found out that he and his wife were members, as well as
all of his siblings, and his parents. And none of the kids are baptized
but all want to! We are bringing 13 Book of Mormons next time. He is
from Micronesia and his Mom translated the Book of Mormon into their
dialect of Micronesian for the church! Also they said they were the
second family baptized in Micronesia and had lots of callings and were
super active, but when they moved to America, they went inactive and
couldn't find the church. They said we were the first missionaries they
have seen here. They also requested a Micronesian Book of Mormon and
sang "God be with me till we meet again" in Micronesian. It was honestly
the best! We also ran
into some super drunk homeless people in the park. They started praying
and yelling loud and screaming their sins Jesus! And the rest of the
world. And then they started getting inappropriate and lightly
threatening us, so we got out real fast. This upcoming week is also transfers! I
am not going anywhere, but my comp is! So next week I will have a new
comp. It's super exciting and fun to meet new people! I don't know who it
will be yet, but I find out Wednesday. This
week I was reading in 1 Nephi 8 and I loved the message of the Iron
Rod. The Iron Rod is the word of God, and it is what guides us to the
fruit of the tree of life. It is what we need to hold onto to eventually
become like our Heavenly Father. I know that if we hold onto the
scriptures, and sincerely try to draw closer to God. It will happen. And now it's time for pictures! Yay! 1. A nice little sign I saw at a service project this week 2. A story board we drew this week for one of our videos 3. Elder Walden and I! He is great companion! 4.
A funny video our district leader made this week. Its some highlights
of this last transfer. There are a lot of inside jokes, so if you have
any questions about it, just email me. I hope you find it funny. Also
the song that is playing during it is the best! It is called Steve by
Alec Benjamin This is all for this week. If you have any questions or just want to talk, shoot me an email. Love you all! Elder Sant |
