ill try to write a litter more than what i wrote
last week to ya, haha but this week was a really awesome week and were
able to see some great experiences but most of them were just funny
things that had happened. im not sure yet on what time for skype it will
be because the members that we wll be going over to do it at will call
us and tell us when we can come over and do it, but ill let you know by
wednesday hopefully. cant wait till i get to see all your pritty faces
haha.
this week consisted of a really great spiritual
expereince we had. me and elder rivers a few weeks ago made it a deal
that we were going to talk with everyone no matter what and when we were
walking to our car we could see two people far out in the distance and
we looked at each other and we knew we had to talk with them, as we ran
to them we realised that they had had past experiences with the
missionaries rufino accually would go on splitz with the missionaries
but he never got baptised, and as soon as he wanted to he was 19 and
then all of his freinds went on there missions and he had no more mormon
freinds so that was rufino story and this week we decided to stop by.
while we stopped by he let us in and we talked to him. to this day i
have never met anyone so solid in my life, he just opened up and told us
that he knows that the mormon church to be true and that he misses the
support abd all the other things that the church was able to help him
out with, and we were able to teach him about pray and talking to
god and as it was going great at the very end we told him "rufino we
know that we are supposed to be here with you today, to answer those
questions you have and to bring you closer to jesus christ and the way
we can help you grow even more is if we meet 2 to 3 times a week" as
soon as we said that it went downhill im not sure if he was scared of
commitment or what but, hopefully we will be able to meet him again and
help him feel the spirit.
got a funny story for you guys, alright here we go:
so
me and elder stevens had made an appointment with paul and kelly our
investigators on friday night, so we got to there house and the door is
wide open and ragay music is just blasting and the only thought that
comes through my mind is that they were drunk again, but this time i
wasent going to be the nice guy hahah!! we walk in and beyond the music
we can hear sage there dought just balling her eyes out and so we go
upstairs comfort her and say a prayer and after that we told her that we
are going to take care of everything else, so we go downstairs and paul
and kelly are just all over each other drunk as can be, and i just
strat to throw down! we turn off the music and we start talking to them
about what happened why are you drinking you promised you would stop.
kelly at this point is just chugging wine and vodka like grape juice, so
when she goes to fill up her glass again i take it from her hands and
put it behind my back while im trying to talk to her about sage and how
shes crying and that you need to stop cause you scarying all of us. (
just letting you know when kelly is drunk shes scary) and while im
talking to her she comes around my back to grab to glass and next thing i
know i spill it all over my back. ill never forget the smell of vodka
and wine. YUK! but anyways by this time we calmed them down made them
sit on the coach and then talked to them for a good 20 minutes until
after the lesson they said they would stop but by this time they were so
waisted that paul got up and told me he loved me and then grabbed my
hand and kissed it. haha it was so nasty. but so funny at the same time.
and when we were about to leave i went into the kitchen and grabbed the
huge wine and vodka bottle and was ready to walk out when paul told me
we cant take it. so because of that i challenged him in an arm wrestle
and who ever wins gets to take the alchol. ( a little background on paul
is that he is huge! like toned and cut! hes a landscaper and works out
all day i had no chance but the lord was on my side) he agreed and we
put our arms on the table to arm wrestle as we went it was a tie for
about 35 seconds and during this time i am screaming and yelling ( im
going to take the alchol!) but then i lost...... but then i realised i
guess i cant take away someones agency, so i learned something new.
the next day we go over there and there still drunk and there
tummies were like twice the size as normal. then we went yesterday
morning before church and they werent waisted but humbled and told us
they were done and not going to do it again, so keep them in your
prayers and at this point we hope we can bring them to church and help
them out.
the next funny story we have for you was, a member took
us out to eat at bull taco, and at bull taco its a resturant were they
make whatever kind of burritos or tacos you can make
!! and
they are so good and as we walked in there was a 300 pound shark just
chillin on the table getting chopped up by a cheif, and we talked to the
owner and he told us that it was just caught like 3 hours ago. while
the heif is cutting it, we asked does it taiste good and next thing i
know there is the spine of the shark on a plate in front of me and it
was cooked but barely and of course with out question i start digging in
and im not going to lie it was really good, better than some sushi,
then the cheif cut off the sharks head and we hasked if shark brain was
any good and the owner said " well lets find out" so he chopped and
chopped until we found the brain and he put it on the grill for about
15-20 seconds and put it on our plate and me and elder stevens ate it
and not going to lie it taisted like a satly marshmellow! it was not
bad! the only thing gross that i ate from it was the sensory, right in
the tip of the nouse it has the texture of jellow but sure dident taiste
like it.
but we had a really good week we are working really
hard trying to find more people to teach and its working!!! i love it
here and i love working and serving for the lord love you all so much
have a great week and see you on the 11th!!! love elder lindmeir!!!
