Fun in the Sun

June 10, 2013

Hey family!! its so good to hear from ya'll!!!!

This week was good, yet very interesting to say the least haha!!!

First off....my lactose intolerance has returned to seek revenge haha... oh man.... its ok though...its not as bad as before like no throwing-up just upset stomach...kind of sad but its ok!

Last Tuesday I went on exchange with Elder Frazier (i think he's the one  dad knows his dad?) it was really good. since he doesn't speak spanish i had the fun job of doing everything! i really enjoy it. we met this one lady who at first was just like...oh i'm already cristian, i was like that is great. then she loooked really happy and excited so i started talking a little bit of Christ and then brought in the book of mormon and her demeanor completly changed! she literally had a nice little freak out on me! haha! she ran up to my face and started asking me if i knew what the word mormon means. i was like si el era un profeta en este libro. y ella me dijo que no, la palabra mromon significa demonion del infierno. then she started slapping the book of mormon and got in my face and pointed her finger in my face and said how i'm also i demon from hell. then i said, pues hermana solo me gustaria compatir lo que creemos...y explicar quien era mormon y porque tenemos el libro de mormon. but she honestly woouldn't let me say one word! haha it was crazy. and of course eldre frazier has no idea whats going on only that this lady is all in my face haha. i told him she wants to get baptized! haha jk! so that was a good experience :)

one cool thing is that a member died a couple months ago and her husband isnt a member and he has still been coming to church and i thought one of the missionaries in this ward was teaching him but no one was so we went straight to his house and set up an appointment for tonight! its really hard because they have a 5 year old daughter and the mom passed away 2 months ago and he got into a bad accident at work and broke his leg really bad and he is still accepting and trying to do the right thing! it was really hard to see all that stuff. in his home is just the sweetest humble spirit there!

the other day we knocked on a door of a "mclean bible church"  member....bad idea hahaha. at their church they study Preach My Gospel so they know how to combat us. its really crazy haha. she was luckily nice her husband wasn't..she was just like you should come tomorrow so i can show you how the book of mormon is wrong and how the bible proves it. she was saying "not to change your mind, but just so you know" i was like you gotta be kidding me... haha.

then we had a great encounter with 2 jehova witness...at first they were just super excited to let us come in... i was like hmm ok why not.. then we realized why they were so happy to have us in...to battle... haha!!! man.. but we didn;t battle, just simply bore our testimony.. and we really struck them dumb..they had no clue what to say. thats the power of the spirit!!! (crazy encounters this week right?)

then yesterday we had a little breakfst before church and 2 of our investigators went. the purpose was to get them to come to church! and it worked! haha it was so great!

i think thats about all!!! i sure love you all. let me know if there is anything i can do!?

Con amor,
