Buenos Dias!
This week was awesome! We started
our ward family evenings in the church with a scavenger hunt for clues
throughout the church. They all
eventually led to the baptismal font. But, the doors were locked, AKA you need
the proper authority. It was a descent turnout, about 20 people came. Everyone said they’d be coming back and bring
their friends the coming weeks.
Remember Angy? She got baptized last
Saturday! I’m really excited for her and glad to see her start on her
journey!
This week we also had a bit of a
wrench in the system. We didn’t meet in our chapel but the one onthe top of the
"hill". Elder Bennion and I
were like those guys on the runways with the giant glow sticks, directing traffic
up to the other chapel. Less people came
to church because of money to get up there by bus. Still a surprising amount of the viejitos
made it up there.
The other snag this week was that
we’re finding great people to teach who really seem like they are going to
progress... the only downside is not a single one of them is married and all cohabitate.
We plan to have the discussion on the
Plan of Salvation and how families can be together forever through Temple
marriage.
This week in studies I’m in the war
chapters of Alma, Moroni and Helaman.
They are real tacticians and were successful with the guidance of the
Lord. Also, I was quite impressed by the humility of the Chief Judge, Pahoran
who received a reprimanding letter from Moroni. He didn’t take it personally
and knew it was written in the right spirit. I’d like to develop that kind of
humility.
10th of May is the big day. Just making sure we’re all good for the Skype
call.
Okay, I love you bunches. I can’t
think of anything else except this (crazy story)
Last night we’re on the top of a
"hill" the size of one of the Appalachians that we visit people on,
we hiked the valley to get to the other "hill" to go to another
lesson. But the only problem was 1. we're dressed like missionaries (shirt and
tie) and 2. Its’ like pitch black. We manage
to get down the valley and at the bottom there is the creepiest little house
just chillin at the bottom of this valley. We are going to cross and climb the
other side and as we’re climbing my companion almost falls into blackberry
bushes (which have very large points). Miraculously
he doesn’t fall.... we came to the conclusion that the creepy old house had a
creepy man or something that saved him, that or an angel. One of the two.
Also I almost got run over by a bus
and this week we chopped down trees off the side of one of those hills.
LOVE YOU
Garrett
Ok, I can't help but think of the RM movie!!!!
How many strokes does it take with a hatchet? Where is the buzz saw?
