This week was so fast! We started off by helping some guy move a pile of rocks to another pile of rocks and it was a super waste of time haha but it's good to serve...I guess haha.
This week, we also worked a lot better with members and with them helping us by coming to lessons! It was awesome! Our convert, Hermano German from the DR who has been a member for 4 weeks, came with me and then my companion went to a different lesson with the Bishop. So my lesson with Hermano German and me was sooo awesome! I started to talk about our faith and the gospel and then German just took over and just started to preach like he'd been in the mission for 3 years and it was so dope!!!!! I just sat there smiling! It was so great! Such a powerful convert and not only that he also taught Elder's Quorum this past week about the Priesthood and it was awesome too! So that was really cool!
I had a really powerful experience with my companion this week too. He's new in the mission and only has been out here 8 or so weeks, and this week he told me that he didn't really have a testimony about the church. So yes, I was pretty shocked... and at first I didn't know what to say and do....I just sat there for a few minutes, and then BOOM I just started to preach to the kid and pulled out scriptures for him to read, and I was like, "Dude, you need to go pray and pray like the Prophet Enos in the Book of Mormon!" It was so awesome and powerful and then yeah he did that and went and prayed and after he did it, he told me that he got an answer! It was awesome!
It reminded me of my mom when I told her that I wasn't gonna play football my Junior year in high school and she really preached to me that I should! Man, moms are awesome! GO mommy! I love you!
That's about it for last week! We have a family home evening tonight and they want us to teach about Marriage... can you say TRUNKY!!! haha But yeah, it should be fun and also really funny haha!
This week we are blessed to have Zone Conference again with President! He wants us all to come prepared and having read Alma 31, 32, and 33! Maybe y'all can too!
Thanks for all!
Con amor
