I had the prompting to give him my tie, so I ripped off my tie and gave it to him and told him, "You wear this tie when you are on your mission!!!"
Okay so this week has been absolutely crazy!!!!
First off, last P day after writing home we went out to town and did some shopping, we missed our stop to metros which is a store in peru, similiar to walmart. anyways we awere like oh no!! thats not good!! but man it was the best thing the lord needed to happen. WE get off and start walking and we walk past this man and he says elders elders, turns out Oliver Flores, is going to be a future missioanry, he lost his scriptures and needed a libro de mormon, i had one in my hands, crazy talked to him for about 20 min, i had the prompting to give him my tie, so i wripped off my tie and gave it to him and told him, you wear this tie when you are on your mission!!! blessing come from when you follow the spirit. Anyways that was the coolest expierence ever, then we walked a little further had this prompting again to talk to this guy sitting on the side of the street, which we wouldnt of ever saw this guy unless we missed our bus, talked to him learned he didnt believe in god, didnt have a family and knew nothing about happiness, WE taught him to pray, gave him a book of mormon, and taught him about how much god loves him!!! it was incredible!! then we made it into metros, were standing in the check out line, and yet again i get another prompting to talk to the guy directly behind me, i fought this one a little cause he was a huge latino, but i turned i talked to him, he was soo suprised i knew spanish it was hilarious, talked to him, gave him a book of mormon. it was steller, so this past week i have gotten 3 references for the missionaries the other one was while i was at interpol i sat enxt to this lady and she asked me some question about the church, taught her the doctrina, and she loved it!! it was incredible!!!! I love talking to latinos they are the best!!!!
Oh man went to interpol this past week, which is like fingerprinting and teeth checking, it was a steller time, tonz of little kitties walk around in this government building, I love it!!!! we also went to pizza hut afterwards, which is like a fanzy resturant here, and goodness it was so good to have some pizza!!!
WE have learned everything we need to learn for spanish, now i just have to practice practice practice and try not to be way mad about past subjuncitive i hate that!!! anyways the teachers are great, the ccm is great, but i ammmm sooo pumped to go to trujillo and preach the gospel fulltime!!!! ahhh!!! cant wait!
Ahh few awesome things we had a devotional this past week with a latino 70, i dindnt get a transelator and i understood everything!! so the spanish is coming!!!
Okay more spiritual storeis and then well get into the crazy funny ones!
Today i went to the temple, probably the last time for a year!!! it was SO good, I did it in spanish, and yup got about 80% of it to 100% of it!!! it was incredible, I was sitting int the sealing room and I realized thats what my goal is, too get as many families as i can to kneel around the altar!!! its not bautismo, bautismo is not eternal families, sealing is!!! anyways so many different emotions i had whiel sitting in the sealing room!
I am loving reading the scrips everyday!!! this week is 1 Peter 3:15 WE must all be prepared to give the answer to ALL of why we have so much hope in our life!!! and that answer comes through the power of the Holy Ghost!!! 2 <nephi 32:1-3 i think we have been bautized, dont worry about what to do, just speak by the holy ghost, the tongues of angels!!! i love it!!!
Alright funny story time:
Lamanite army of latinos:
So during dinner saturday night, Elder craft decided to drink his favorite beverage Mtn dew, I decided i was going to take the last sip...just cause thats what friends do, anyways he got pretty mad, and talked to all the latinos, the latinos didnt think that it was to cheveras either, entonces, he raised this large army of latinos against me, so after the days over i went upstaries was talking to some people in a room when all of the sudden about 30 latinos came and picked me up ran me to the end of the hall, craft came through the army with a brooom and started fake kicking me and there all chanting k, i get slide by my foot into a different room of awesome nephities, stay in safety for a min or so then run to another nephite room anways craft finds me in that room with his army and calls me to repentence.
