this week was awesome and I don't even remember it
haha time is going by way to fast!!!! but we did do a lot this week and I
learned a lot!
first thing we had MLC this
week and that is just another missionary meeting were we learn how to
become better missionaries, and something this whole transfer me and
elder olvera have been tring to do is be more effective and we have been
really coming up with cool things to help the mission to reach its
goal!
but this week I honestly forgot alt but what I do remember was the
exchange I had with elder rodriguez. and elder rodriguez is a new
missionary who is getting trained by elder jones ( elder jones is one of
my best missionary friends!!!!) and elder rodriguez is the most quite
missionary I know and hes super timid, so on exchanges my whole goal was
to break that wall for him. so the first thing we do is go fill up the
truck with gas and I told him to that we should talk to people and I
pointed out the guy he should talk to but as soon as I said that he just
froze! like a possum!!! it was so funny he gets so scared so I go with
him to talk to the person and we have a great conversation but he wasn't
very interested. so then I tell elder rodriguez its not scary but fun
and that you should be intimidated by people and as soon as I said this
no joke this cadalack pull up and a 300 pound black man comes out the
car to fill up with gas and I started to laugh and I told him that hes
got it.. but he froze up again, so I told him to follow me and I break
the ice with this huge black guy and I paused and waited for my comp to
talk and as soon as he started to talk I just walk away. hahaha I
figured the best way to learn is if you just get put on the spot. it was
awesome cause after when he was done he got the confidence to talk to
an older man who was filling is work truck with diesel and as soon as he
starts talking to this old guy, the diesel gas come out and spays this
old man for like 4 seconds straight in the face/mouth/whole body of just
straight diesel! I was laughing so hard but at the same time I was
running to grab paper towels and, when this happened elder rodiguez just
froze up again but he was just standing right next to the guy just like
in shock of what happened and the old guy got mad of coarse so this new
elder as soon as he gets his confidence up, just instantly gets his
confidence back down. it was such a funny experience!!!
we had great spiritual lesson this week and we
tought a lot of people in Spanish and it was really cool to see how I
new what we were teaching and It was really cool to just listen to the
spirit and pitch in the lesson as much as I could.
seeing miracles every day sorry this was a lame email but I just
forget what happens each week time is just going by way to fast! hahah
love you all so much!!!!
gabe happy B-day!!!!1 love you tons bro keep it up!!!
love you all
