Hey Dadio!
1- How would you define "Feasting on the word's of Christ".
Feasting on the words or Christ....requires a lot of preparation :)
haha, and we don´t enjoy it unless we partake of it. haha. diving
in, and enjoying it. we don´t really understand until we apply it.
2- Did you have your Ice cream party for having the most of "I forgot"
and if so did you enjoy the gathering?
I really love to be with the missionaries and to be a missionary! the
ice cream party was fun. I don´t know if i told you but we won
because my and my comp (long story short) brought a drunk guy to
church. i don´t remember if i told you the story. but yea, we
enjoyed the gathering. it is really fun and interesting to see the
elders play sports. I really think sports brings out the true
personalities in people. :) Our district is pretty tight because we
haven´t changed people for two transfers. I will have been in my area
for 6 months! that is a third of my mission!!! that is a lot of
time.
This sunday was hard because like none of our investigadors came to
church. we pretty much received a baptism. a member in another ward
gave us a reference. he´s been teaching him and everything. so we
passed by for this reference, and the first lesson he had already read
into alma!!! he stopped smoking, drinking, and everything 2 weeks
ago. he loves the gospel already! haha he is telling everyone about
the book of mormon. it is a miracle! he came to conference and
everything too! it is hard to visit him because we have to take two
buses and it is best to go with a member in this area. but yeah, we
are pretty stoked about it and hope to teach a lot of people in this
area. he just needs to come to church :) which is hard because he
needs to take 2 buses.
Also, we are teaching this guy who used to do a lot of drugs. some
people beat him up and he was in a coma for like a week. he is
relearning how to walk. i knew him before all of this happened, but
the change is incredible. you can see it in his eyes. we saw
another miracle in him. he has been going to a lot of churches...and
we passed by and visited him. it was so cool to see the spirit work
in him. he told us he had narrowed it down to 3 churches. he said he
would not go to church with us this sunday because he already told
this other lady he would go to her church. we continued to talk with
him, we started talking with him, and randomly he said, i think will
go to your church this sunday. i think this is the only church of
God. I just had this thought come to my mind that this is the church.
it was so crazy, and it had to have been the spirit working in him to
say it randomly, because we weren´t exactly talking about that. so,
he said he would come. (He didn´t end up coming, a member passed by
to get him in a car, and he was sleeping...i think they are going to
give him a blessing from what the member said.) but it was so crazy
and cool to see. it is almost like a story of Alma....the life
changes and he is so much more receptive to the gospel. he said he´d
get baptized, and we are still working on that. it is amazing ot see
the spirit teach. sometimes people understand everything we say, and
i know it is a miracle how fast they understand those things because
of the spirit. he came to the conference and said he felt the
spirit...like a warmth in his heart :) haha but we might have
problems with members, because of his reputation....they will have to
accept him...he has changed so much!
We also found this other joven, who said he wants to stop doing drugs
and said he´d come to church. he also dropped out of school so he
doesn´t really know how to read. i was so excited to teach him...he
told us that the elders have more fear of him than us. he said they
are always scared, but we actually talked to him. hahaha it made me
feel good. but yeah, he would help convert a lot of people if-when he
gets a testimoiny of the gospel. it is relatively new, but he is
smart and knows when the other churches are doing things falsely. so
we will see where we go with him, but he knows a lot of people and
siad hi to us with all his friends....which is something really cool.
we had a spring cleaning with our old investigadors and kinda started
new. it has been really good because we have opened our eyes to the
other people and have been able to find many people! it is awesome!
God still blesses me with tender mercies. i can´t tell you how many
times a soccer ball comes rolling my way, and just the opportunity to
kick it back makes me happy, and also, the kids love it that the girl
in the skirt is playing soccer with them. Also, there are these
little waterballs that i like. haha, a member gave me a package of
them. we have also received a lot of flowers and things from members
and stuff. they really love us. the members keep telling me they want
their son to find someone like me to marry. hahaa. it has been
really nice and the members are great. we were a little discouraged
that none of our new investigadors came to church, and all of them
only told us good things and how they were happy with our work and
that we have brought a lot of people to church! they weren´t even
mad....so at least that is good....
anyhow...this was very missionary-ish....
love you lots!
