Well, I'm terribly
sorry to say it, but another uneventful week has passed by!
Not a lot of people
were home this week, so we struggled to get the few meetings that we did get.
Oh well. That didn't
necessarily make it a bad week.
I accomplished a life
goal. I finally learned how to solve a rubix cube this week. Haha, you'd be surprised
what you can learn over the course of a week in the 20 minutes you have before
10:30 each week! Haha my companion Elder Villarruel taught me......while he's
not exactly the most compassionate teacher, he did teach me, and I can now
successfully solve that hellish cube.
OOH! First
earthquake I've ever felt this week!!! It was super cool! We were in the house
about 7:50 waiting for our dinner appointment when we both kind of felt the
ground move. Elder Villarruel and I looked at each other and before I could ask
what happened, the ground shook even more! I thought it was about the coolest
thing ever! But Villarruel brought up the point that we were on the first floor
of a 5 story building........constructed in Peru......so we went outside pretty
quickly.....and after 5 minutes of uneventfulness, we went back inside.
Earthquakes are
cool.
Despite being
overall unsuccessful this week, we did find a new investigator!
His name is Whiston,
he apparently took the discussions a few years ago! He has a strong testimony
of the Book of Mormon and says he wants to be baptized! I'm excited, but I know
that often times investigators like this have some sort of problem with the word
of wisdom, or one of the other commandments....but either way I know with a
little help, he'll be a great member one day!
I'll leave you with
a random fact, more or less to show you guys that I haven't changed too much,
and am still the fountain of random useless knowledge that you all know and
love.
Here you can read
about this dude.
He (having no
medical training whatsoever) masqueraded as a surgeon on a Canadian Navy destroyer.
He had to perform lifesaving surgery on 16 Korean combat casualties. He
memorized a general surgery textbook 15 minutes before operating. All of the
patients survived.
I'll explain the
pictures later today! Love you!!!!!
Well The one picture
is with me and Isaguirre.
The other one is a
baptismal photo....
The other photos
will have to wait.....I left the camera cable in the other internet
place.....so I'll have to send the rest next week.....but I'm glad I got two
out!!!
Love you lots!!!
