This past week has been pretty slow. We have been contacting a lot this week and with not a lot of success, unfortunately. Sometimes as a missionary we need to grind a bit before we can get back to crazy success and stuff. But we did contact a few amazing people, that have some cool stories. One morning we contact this old woman who quickly told us that she had no interest in the church or changing, only in metaphysics and Melchezidek and his authority line.....What??? Hahaha I was shook when she started talking about her research on those things, which the Church is all about by the way. She even had a vision about seeing the second coming and being able to regather her family together. It was the most amazing contact I´ve ever had haha. She is from German descent (Volga) by the way, just a cool expereince for sure! We will try and go back to her this week.
We also contacted a family that is very Catholic and has no desires to change. They respectfully denied our invation to come back, which is fine. But then it started raining and they saw us huddle for shelter across the street, so they clled us over to wait out the storm in their house. They had 2 daughters who write and play folklore music (chamamé) and they played us their original songs on their accordian and guitar, it was aweosme! and the dad asked if he could give a ride home and it was the most clutch moment of my mission! they don´t really want to change their religion, but want to cook us fried fish next week, so I can´t complain.
Also GREAT NEWS! Victoria, who we have been teaching these past few weeks, has decided to get BAPTIZED! WHOO! She is preparing for the 21st of Spetember. She came to church this week and she loved it! She´s already friends with the whole ward hahaha. We taught her about the gospel of Jesus Christ and what he taught us what to do in this life to receive eternal life. She expressed her desires to continue learning and feeling this newfound peace and happiness with the Church. Yay! She is turning 19 this week as well.
Also today marks 2 years since my baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I will hit my 10 month mark in the mission this week as well. Crazy how time flies! I am forever grateful for the work of the missionaries and what they did to help me turn my life around, and I´m grateful to have that same honor and privelage now to help the people down here experience the same blessings of the restored gospel.
Love you guys!
