Chapter 9: The Lords Timing‏, August,18,2014

This week, i realized something.  I realized that i am so so lucky to have family to write me. and Family that cares about me!! so thank you family i love you!!   so this week, was one for the books. We found 3 new investigators, none have  baptism dates yet, but they are looking good potentials.  God hears prayers and i want to thank you for your supportive prayers as well!

I am typing on a computer that types ghost a´s and also takes spaces when it wants so, sorry for the mistakes!! haha

This happened on saturday:
i wanna tella you about a story, a story about when i was on exchanges with elder duty booty.  He is the zone leader here in my zone.  We were contacting  tiring to find some awesome chosen people to teach and love with all  our hearts.  We came up to this gated house.  Like all houses here, and the front gate was open.  For some reason he entered the gate.  Then he clapped this house. LOW AND BEHOLD, athis dog, Black lab and pit bull mix, (looked like Jag Our old dog) comes charging at my boi Elder Duty.  The dog got within, 1 foot of him, and appeared to hit this walla.  His head got thrown back and ahis feet stopped dead in the dirt.  Duty booty was shaking in his boots.  Elder duty  then took a step back, and the dog took a step forward.  THis dog for some reason, could not move pas this ainvisible wall.  HOLY COW:  that is cool huh guys?? God is watching over us!!

Monday: was Pday, and nothing really happened, just Jugamos futbol and basquetbol. 

Tuesday: Matts birthday.  I think Matt did work tuesday and i took a break.. i got called ot go work in Neuquen and did paper work to get my citenzenship.  So i took a break and hung out in Neuquen.  That city is about two ahours away from Cutral co. Where i am serving now. It was sweet.  The Neuquen city kind of looks like Salt Lake.  But not as clean and a bunch of latinos speaking weird in the streets!!

Wednesday: we had a reunion of our district this day.  We have the biggest district in our misison.  We ahve 14 companionships.  Today is the day where me and my companion came to a cross roads. He decided to go behind my back and set something up with the whole district and hav ethis thing called a tsunami.  Tha is where all missionaries go in one area and contact to try and find more people.  I didnt want that because i dont want people to work for my lack of not having investigators. So i guess it was just a thing where i needed to humble myself.   But things have happened like that abefore.  He doesnt alike when ai teacha.  Because he thinks i just am new and i need to watch how he does it.  SO awe had a long talk. this night.. we will see ahow the week goes!!

Thursday: Today, was weekly planning. It was dread ful.  My companion said its suppose to be some spiritual experience.  But try and plan for three ahours right after a huge lunch, and  walking in dead heat. haha at 3a in the afternoon.   HAha btw, we dont have dinner down here in argentina.  Que suerte ehh? But i took over the area, he let me adecide what to do.  I decided to go over to this area awhere we havent been yet.  We  there found 2 kids who asked us if they acould hear our message!! sooo we sat down and talk to them.  We set them up for new appointments, and ar elooking forward to teaching them.  After, we taught them a little ingles, and now we are setting aup a classin our church to teach people ingles! lets see how this goes ehh??

Friday: today, we helped an hermana out with some service.  we built here some seats for here kitchen and they are fabulous!!! haha she tries to speak english with us, and we taught her to say fabulous when somethin is way Ugly!! ahaha That is the acool thing about speaking two languages. the kids acome up and ask you how to say a bad word, and we jsut tell them, Flower, or rollercoaster or just make up words.  My favorite word to tell the kids when they ask what a bad word is, I tell them it means Spencer in English!  hahaha But today we ahad the Tsunami. i went with this chileano kid.  WE passed by and found some great potentials. One ladie that aher husbad beat her because he went blind and didnt recognize her.  Now they are good now, but we are excited to teach her.

Saturday: Miracle with the dog, and i got to take over the area with elder duty.  We found a laot of good potentials again.  We ended this week wit finding 21 References.  We got a lot of contacting to do next week.

Sunday: We had lunch with the people that live below us.  We left them a book of mormon and they are way excited to find out more.  Thye said ever since missionaries had been livin up there they wanted to find out what it was about. They had a lot of good questions.  We made them banana bread. And i think that is what won their hearts.  We also got to listen to Red Hot Chilli peppers. He asked if we Knew them.  We ran into these kids riding a fake bucking horse.  They look like those fake latino rodeo guys that you see aon tv.  It was hillarious.  I am going ot get apictures this week.  So be patient.  Things work out.

We also have the opportunity to be in the bishop bric and help the bishop becuase we ar ethe ward mission leaders.  The bishop here is a stud, but his helpers in the priesthood are alittle wavy.  there are only 11  priesthood holders in this ward.  How bout that.

My spiritual message this week, is to never be afraid to get on your knees.  The lord wants to help and he knows your situation personally.  Also, dont wait for something bad to ahapppen.  Pray for gracias for the good things that you have.  Humble ourselfs before him. 

I taped a scripture on the back of a passalong card. it says, (for whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his likfe for my sake, shall find it.) Matthew 16:25

I love all ayou guys.  Work hard and lose your life in the service of god!!  Muaaahhhh
