woah mom! how come you don't have my beautiful picture on the missionary countdown calendar!
its all good i forgive you, this week was such a great week like i
always say and boy do i love campeche where the dog bark every minute of
the day and night, but i cant help but just say how much i love being a
missionary and just everything about it from spiritual experiences to
just small funny stuff that that happens and things we see. but
Monday
we went shopping and i bought this big thing of eggs, we then took a bus
back to the house and this buss ride was like the longest bus ride
because my eggs broke and kept dripping in the bus as i stood up front
next to the bus driver and held them over the steps so they would drip
out the door. but as they were dripping i apologized and told him that i
wanted to invite him for breakfast but i didnt have any eggs left. he
thought that was funny, but this week i ended up fasting! jaja.
Tuesday
when we were looking for a members house we contacted and met this woman
who happened to be a less active who moved here 20 years ago from
Mexico (Mexico city). after we found the house, and this member we
taught had a dog as big as my horse that i don't have. but as i entered
the dog come sprinting at me while I'm praying to god to at least let me
finish my mission, but turned out to be really nice. its a great Dane
dog. and she loved me, i also got to ride it, okay i didn't get to but i
wanted too soo bad! also
Wednesday, we ate at this members house and
lets just say i got to know what a chicken foot tastes like. it actually
wasn't that bad.
Thursday after coming back from lunch, we passed by the
park by the church and started talking to this guy who was just sitting
down alone but we found out he is an alcoholic, and he just wanted to
change his life around and be the father his family needs, we taught
then sat right there and had a mini lesson with him and sang and said a
little prayer, and we took down his information and passed it to the
other missionaries in the other area. following we had a meeting in the
church and after when we took the bus home i look back at my companion
in the bus and he does the cheesiest smile while showing me an onion in
which i have no clue where he found an onion. boy do i love my companion
and his randomness.
Friday we ate with this family and in the family
are 2 young men and with them we have this joking relationship. but i
was curious when they asked me
Sunday what was my least favorite food
was
Sunday, and i said soup and so
this Friday we literally ate 3
different kinds of soups for lunch. oh how i love their sense of humor!
:I jajaja, gotta love those guys.
Friday at the end of the day, elder
tousa and i taught our English classes in the church, its actually
really fun!
Saturday we had this awesome investigator who we contacted 2
weeks ago and he is so awesome his names victor and he was in a tragic
accident a couple years ago and he told us there was a reason why god
let him live but he didn't know what it was and he was just waiting for
it. but whenever we teach him he feels something that he never felt
before and everything started making sense to him. he is awesome!
yesterday we had church, and elder parrott (parrotts from paradise) and i
taught the youth ages 16-17. and the topic we taught was dating, so
that was pretty fun, and boy did a lot of questions come up in that
lesson regarding us. then our fun energetic bishop came in to ask us
something and ended up sharing a couple stories from his youth. boy do i
love our bishop he has a big sense of humor and is really spiritual
too. after church we ate at a members house us 4 missionaries and my
comp couldn't finish his dessert because he was soo full, and we all
encouraged him on, but then i shared a spiritual thought on enduring to
the end, and related it to eating a dessert. guess who finished their
dessert! :P on our way back home that night, we passed the two old
ladies who we sitting on these steps and as we kept climbing these 100
billion stairs straight up this tall steep hill, they stopped us and ask
who we were and so we then started the convo and turned out her husband
passed away about a year ago, so we then showed his the video Because of
Him (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S3TI4bYerU)
but in Spanish. and helped her understand that she could see her
husband again. during this time a neighbor named maricela and her 9 year
old daughter karen came and listened too. well after we finished that
little lesson, it started pouring outside out of nowhere and thunder out
of nowhere so we all went inside to wait the rain and ended up teaching
about the book of Mormon, and after she told us that letting us teach
her was one of the best decisions she made in a long time and she said
we were different then all the other religious people that come by. that
made me smile. when we went home we got a little lost but we eventually
made it home. today was our pday and was the fist time in a long time
that we were allowed to play soccer again in the mission, so the first
thing we did was all play soccer, so i am soo ready to be pro when i get
back. we played latinos against the greengos (americanos), I'm not even
going to tell you who won because like i always say, I'm humble... okay
we lost, but only by 9-10, okay sorry I'm just a little soccer happy. but
that was pretty much my week. solo quiero decirles que amo este iglesia
con todo mi corazon y es un bendicion estar aqui, se que la iglesia es
verdadera.ELDER WASDEN
