So this week went pretty good. Really fast which usually means we worked a lot. Always nice! yesterday it rained buckets and buckets. We were up in a different area eating lunch with a member and its all dirt roads. So we walked through the mud to where the collectivo stop is and were soaking wet. Then we started the trek down to the main road. We were plowing through so much water lol. My companion was freaking out but I just felt like I was at home. Goodness knows why I know so many people that enjoy getting their trucks stuck lol. Anyways it was super fun. We got to the main road and there was a huge line of cars because there was a dip in the road with a river going through it. I cant even explain how much water there was. So crazy. But we finally made it home! Our house was like a cockroach cemetary this week. We killed so many (I love raid it is the best thing ever) But neither of us like cleaning them up so they were just dead all over the house. Goodness I hate those things. My comp found one in the bathroom upstairs (alive for the moment) and she screamed so loud I thought there was a dang python in the house. But no, just a cockroach. I sure dont like them but they freak me out a little less now.
I also finished the Book of Mormon today. Wow what an accomplishment and how crazy to think it only took me like 3 months to read the whole thing. I cannot even explain the amount of power there is in that book. What Joseph Smith says in the begining is so true, a man will get closer to god by reading this book than any other book on this earth. I love that promise. And I cant believe how much stronger my testimony is now. We had the opportunity to teach a guy this week who works one of the gaurd shacks for a priviate area near our house. he is extremely religious and reads the bible every day in his gaurd shack. My companion was little harsh with him and it was turing into more of a fight than a sharing the gospel moment and I dont like that at all. I still dont understand everything but I decided I was going to introduce the BOM. I cant even explain how the whole mood of the lesson changed. I absolutely love that we arent here to shove this message down peoples throats. Its not our purpose. Our purpose is to invite others to come unto christ. And what better way than through the BOM. Anyways, I invited him to read it and he agreed.I think he actually will because he likes studying so much. So well see what he thinks in our next lesson but it all depends on if he asks god if its true with a sincere heart. Because I have no doubt in my mind that if someone really wants to know this book is true and reads and ponders it they are going to know. Without a doubt of the truthfullness of this book and of the gospel. I am feeling so much better and more confident this week. The spanish is coming. I was reading through our practice book we used at the MTC and I cant believe how much I have learned. I have loved that I can actually communicate a little with the members and our investigators. Every day feels better. I gave a note book to a lady in our ward that cooks amazing food for her to write down her recipies! So ill keep that up during the mission so we can eat some real delicious food when I get home! Ohhh and we had pazole 2x this week and oh my gosh I love that stuff. Soooooo much. Anyways. Thats about it this week. It went quicky! Thank goodness! Cant believe how happy I am and how absolutely tired also! lol. Love you tons and I hope you have a good week!
