This week was a little hard but in the end . . . . . It was still hard but I have grown quite a bit this week and also I have been helped out a lot and increased in knowledge and more importantly testimony. this week was a pretty fun one too. We were sitting next to the "Gorditas truck" (Gordita: a super greasy filled with pig skin, cheese, salsa and onions that is SOOOO good) and a family came by and got an order of a couple of gorditas and everything. I didn`t think anything of it and then I heard "excuse me mister" (in spanish obviously) I said "yes what is it?" this little child probably was 8 years old. "are you from a different country?" I said "yes I am! what country do you think I am from?" he sat there and thought for a little bit and finally he said "Columbia?" I felt proud of my spanish but then again he was 8 years old. I said " I from the United States!" then he said " cool! bye!" super awesome this experience. haha I laughed pretty hard and I am thankful for the tender mercies of the Lord to give me such experiences and lighten my mood when I`m down. We had interviews this week by president and everything went well. My mission president is sooooo awesome! I hope to be like him in the fact that he knows when to have fun goof off a little bit and he also knows when`s the good time to work hard. He also said my area is super hard so that boosts my self confidence (without sarcasm) This week something happened I probably won`t forget ever. So if you remember the super old lady that has nothing nice to say to us she did something that I didn`t really expect but wasn`t super surprising. So we were walking all normallike and then we saw here on the same side of the street as us and both of us thought "we`re not ready for this" but I held firm and tried to ready myself. She started to say her normal swear words and all that normalness then when we got closer she switched her hand on her umbrella (it has been raining for about a week) and my companion saw this and he ran for the hills. I was completely normal. I am not going to say that I didn`t see it because I did but I just didn`t worry about it at all. She can`t really do any damage. And when I walked by her she took a swing at me with her umbrella and I kept walking normal and with the natural swing of my hand walking I totally blocked it without any kind of problem. I just can`t help my natural ninjaness. everyone that was around was looking at us all surprised and stuff and I was just like. Normal . . . . all of it. And this week we were walking through the tiangis here and I heard something that reminded me so much of home! I heard. . . . . some four seasons and couldn`t help but sing! whoops.
SUPER ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
I want to give a quick shoutout to my dad he`s not super old but he`s not too young either ;) all that counts is that he`s still balling it up.
Serve up everybody`s favorite dish! (favorite dish)
happy birthday happy birthday this is your day so happy birthday to youuuuuuuuu!!!
this week was a good study week that`s for sure. I learned a lot about the light and the darkness. It says a lot in the bible that Jesus christ is the light. And that all that walk with him won`t walk in darkness. I thought that everyone should be walking with him! why not? It also refers that the celestial kingdom with have a lot of glory and I always picture in my mind. In this I thought a lot about this and I was guided to a good answer. If we were to picture everyone wearing white and everyday we stain our clothes with sins big and small. In the light we are going to see every single stain and in the dark it`s a little harder to see every stain. In this I thought that some people want to be in the dark and in a way deny their sins are there because they don`t really see them. and another point they don`t want to see how many stains they have on their clothes. I then thought that it takes a lot of humility to go into the light see all the stains that are on your clothes. And it`ll be all for the better. Because when we want to clean these clothes that we have we can identify and clean thoroughly our stains that we have. In this I invite everyone into the light even though we will see everything that we have done wrong the atonement will clean us thoroughly. "even though your sins be as scarlet they shall be white as snow"
I love you all soooooooo much like the moon and back . . . . . twice!
church is true and the light. . . . sometimes at the end of the tunnel
