Welllllllllllllllll, let's start out with the experience that happened Monday at about 730, an hour and a half after writing Presidente my letter.....After a visit to a less active member's house, we were in centro and we stopped for something and the phone rings, and my companion answered, and I'm not sure what was said but Presidente asked if he had a minute to talk and he said yeah. They talked for about 15 minutes. Let's just say he's woke up every day this week at 630. I honestly have no idea what he said but it was something! haha
When we follow the rules with the exactness we see success. We found 11 new investigators this week. Three families. And more. We got references from members, when before the members literally just don't help us. We are guided to the chosen children of God who are waiting to hear his gospel.
We had a lesson with Alma again this week, and we met in centro. She's so awesome. She understands and feels everything that we say is true, but still hasn't felt shes received an answer. But she feels good when she meets with us.
I honestly feel a little terrible for sending that video last week. That same hermanao passed away this week. His name is Hermano Damion. He passed away Tuesday night. We basically spent all Wednesday helping his family with the body and the funeral and dedicating the grave. First we go over to sing hymns. and his body was there and the casket was open--I about threw up. We left and I started to think about his clothing he had, and if it was correct. None of his family are members. So we called our branch president and he told us that he told the daughter to ONLY put the temple packet under his feet and not to put it on him. Low and behold we go to sing hymns and he has it all on and it was all wrong. So I called Presidente Ruiz and told him what was going on and he basically told me that we aren't here in the mission to take care of funerals, but that we were here to find people that didn't have the Gospel, and that it was the branch president's responsibility. But to go buy a white sheet and cover him and the clothes. So we went and asked if they had a white sheet and I go to look at the body it see if you could see much. And you could only see the head. So we had the funeral and a lot of people went and then we dedicated the grave after. It was nice.
Welllll otro ves tuve tareesh y un infeccion in mi estamago. diciendo este en espamol por que no quiero mi mama saber haha. fui al doctor, y tamando medicina, pero I lost some weight but I'm fine.
We got 11 new investigators this week. Fam Cha ix Que Tiene, Jose, Jose, Isabel, and the daughter (idk her name). Then we got Evelin, and her esposo. Then we got Dolores, who doesn't speak Spanish so we have a member come with us or her daughter translates for us, its pretty awesome. And then the Familia Ucandzul, which we found yesterday. And then have the parents and then three kids. Two are age of baptism.
All in all this week has been a pretty good one. Started out a little rough and some contention but ended awesome with us following the rules with exactness, and being guided by the Spirit. You seriously work through those miserable days to get to one awesome day.
Well I want to share a video/talk with you guys. Tuesday was a tough day for me and then we went home and my companion showed me this video. Mind blowing. I want everybody to watch this. It will touch you.
