Whats up yall...I hope yall had a good week cuz ours over here was just insane. Lets just say...Rip to my homie San Martin and we will leave it at that but it was actually a good week despite the challenges that came. But lets get into it...
ET
Ok so, first up on the list of crazy things that happened to us, started last sunday...basically our friend Maira, who got baptized last saturday, has an ex boyfriend who apparently "never wants to see her happy" so anyways....this chick fell in love with my beloved companion Elder Dion Sanders and always wrote him love notes no matter how many times we told her to stop so anyway, this ex boyfriend shows up to Maira's house to drop off their kids and snags her phone while shes sleeping and puts her fingerprint in while she sleeps and leaves to a plaza to continue to harrass us and threaten us (well he was threatening me cuz he got our names mixed up) so lets just say Elder Dion was in trouble so we hit up Father President Barlow to clear this all up and boom emergency transfers the next day. It was sad to see my best friend go but I would rather he leave this area than leave this earth so I guess its for the better..nos vemos sin ballena en uno. BUT here comes the exciting news...Elder Meza is my new comp! Its his first transfer as a leader of a group larger than 6 so Im kinda showing him around but he was already prepared before and I just gotta show him how its done and yeah he'll be ready to take on Posadas. He is super dope and we are already grinding and doing our best to be 100 obedient. Les go
Spiky Baseball Storm
Alright, if that 1st one was a banger just wait, we are not even close to done. Numer 2 on the list is Spiky Baseball Storm...its 5 am and all of the sudden something starts banging on our roof and then a lot of somethings start banging our tin roof...Elder Meza in his first night here says "what is that?" As if it was normal and I said "uhhh I think its hail" so I start videoing right and I go outside and boom I get hit with hail the size of a baseball that richocheted off the other roof so I go inside and just wait it out but the next day, cars windows were shattered, water tanks busted, houses and trees destroyed, it was insane. Luckily our roof just dented so it wasnt bad but for others it was really bad. The hail was literally the size of a baseball and spiky...like a evil snowball...shoutout that one episode of Studio C when the world was ending...McKay will understand
Ghostbusters!
Ok, number 3 is even crazier....that same night we had gotten a call from our District Leader at 1 am and we have to be asleep by 11...but we didnt hear the call so we see our phone in the morning and call him back cuz it was for sure an emergency and anyway he tells us this crazy story about the Sisters in Jardin so we call the sisters to see whats up and if they were ok but they then tell us the story in more detail..but basically the sisters had recieved a reference (someone interested in Jesus) from the Sister Training Leaders and bascially the reference says they want misionaries to pass by to cast demons out of their house. So the sisters decided to pass by to check it out...well its a woman and her daughter and they claimed to see a shadowy figure at nights sometimes and one time it choked the mom in the night and explain stories like that and basically the sisters started getting uneasy and feeling really scared and bad and then one sister felt something touch her arm so she jumped and the mom said it was just a mosquito but the daughter said she saw something else touch her...so they felt worse and they felt like that the whole day and so at night they put their mattresses on the floor to br closer together in the night and turns off all the lights except the bathroom one. And then they go to bed, then one of the sisters wakes up cuz she felt something touch her and so she tried to grab whatever was touching her and there was nothing so she waited again and felt something touch her again but she waited to see if it moved and it didnt so she tried grabbing it and there was nothing there so she woke her companion up and told her they were gonna go to the church and they open their bedroom door and all the light were on....so they run to the church and called our District Leader and he calls us, the APs and President and no one answered so he called our convert and our convert got them an uber to the pension of other sisters...so we spent the next morning going to their pension to dedicate it and give comfort blessings to send away and bad feelings or spirits...so you could just call us the ghostbusters....
Miracles
Ok so the spiritual part! We saw miracles! We worked super hard and taught a family on saturday about going to church and 2 of them went! Then our friend Alan (friend of a member) also went and participated in the primary program and also went to a baptism!! Super epic, and 4 converts came to church! It was super amazing cuz its a miracle that that many people came especially on election day. Later that night after almost being robbed in the boonies and rejected super hard, I felt inspired to talk to a dude in the street and turns out he was a less active member who wants us to pass by and his family isnt a member and they live in a house we already contacted...miracles
God lives, Jesus does too. Our Heavenly Father provides miracles if we do what he asks and he did that this week...I know Im a sinner but as we get better and try our best...he heals us slowly and helps us come unto him. This was a hard week but with Jesus we got through it! We learn to accept the consequences and move on and take changes with gratitude in life...the Book of Mormon is the solution to any problem you have...it gives me peace and comfort cuz it testifies of Jesus!!
Love yall! Elder Nelson...sorry its long
