Happy 4th of July! :)
as said in the Book of Alma 61 (in the book of
mormon)" the spirit of the Lord is the Spirit of Freedom. "
Last week we went with some members to one of
the mines! That was super cool. I will send pictures. The big "dump
trucks" weigh 400 tons and can hold 400 tons of stuff. Just to put that
into perspective for you how massive the things are.
For those that don't know I am serving as a
spanish missionary but also in english right now in a ward so I cover a
"branch" and a ward. The work in english has been super tough.
Previous missionaries kept like zero records and did hardly any english work so
we are having to work like crazy. We decided to switch up our teaching though
because english hasnt shown too much success so we are going to be focusing on
the ward itself and trying to go with people home teaching and meet with the
other leaders to find out who in their quorums (elders, high priests, relief
society, young women/mens) that they think would be more likely to come back to
church. So far thats been super good actually.
I found a 1$ bill on the ground WOOOO! :) it
was only a one dollar bill.. but I dont think I've ever found money on the
ground before so that was sweet.
We were walking in the pouring rain in an area
and this guy stopped his car and said hey I've been looking for you guys you
need to talk to someone. So we followed him to his house. he just got a
roommate who has been an inactive member for a little bit, he is 28 now and
wants to get back into the church so that was legit! we were able to get his
info and tell him when church was and whatnot. We sent the information to the
misisonaries who cover that area but it was awesome.
Saturday evening was awkward. We went to a less
active members house right as their cat just got hit by a car and
they didn't see it or hear it so we had to tell them their cat was dead. what's
worse is their dog just got hit by a car 2 weeks ago.... that was rather sad , what can you do right?
