Well let's start off with a cool
experience.
*Rewind a week and a half to the run
down gas station in our sector*
*a very white looking couple enters the
gas station*
Me: "Woah....they look like
gringos!"
Villarroel: "They are, I've heard
the man talk in English before"
Me: "Let’s
go talk to them"!
Villarroel: "no way, I'm not going
to understand anything they say"
Me: "Well whatever I'm going in to
see if they speak English"
*Missionaries enter into the gas
station*
*hears pure Spanish*
Me: "aww, they don't speak English"
*Missionaries leave the gas station*
*White(ish) woman quickly follows suit*
White(ish) Woman:
"Hey......uhh....could you two....uhh.....I don't know how to say
this...."
White(ish) Man: "Well uhh......we
were wondering if you two could come to our house and tell us a little about
religion....Quite frankly we'd just about given up on organized religion....but
we felt we should talk to you two".
*Missionaries smile at each other*
*fast forward a week and a half*
Missionaries: ......."So that's
what you two need to do to have an eternal family"
Gisella & Cesar: “Sounds
perfect! We're in!"
So......that was awesome. Sometimes
sharing the gospel is as easy as wanting to hear two people speak your native
language.
Hahahahaha really though! Gisella and
Cesar are amazing!!!! They'll be coming to church this week and (fingers
crossed) now have the goal of entering into a temple to be sealed about year
and a month from now!!!
One just never quite tires of
miraculous experiences....
Let’s see.....what else...
Danika is progressing! In case I have
never mentioned her before, Danika is a reference we received from her nieces
in LA, California about a month ago! She's studying to be a vet, and is super
smart! She believes in God and wants to live according to His desires, so it's
a good start!
Lately she's been devouring anything we
leave her to read and looks forwards to our visits! She's great!
In other news.....I don't know why I
didn't eat pineapple in the states. Like....I didn't know you could just buy
one and eat it.....and then repeat the process. Pineapple is amazing.
Also I would like to know are the
following fruits available to you guys?
-Prickly pear
-Custard apple
-Soursop
-Granadilla
-Passionfruit
-Starfruit
I love all of those and will miss them
dearly if you can't find them back home.
Hahaha we've found a new house and will
be moving in.....sometime.....hahahaha
So.....the missionary life carries
on!!! I'm loving the service and am doing great!!!
Love you all!!!
