Sorry I didn’t write
anything last week so ill try and catch you guys up on everything. First of all
there is a senor couple that is serving here and they put together a thanksgiving
here in the zone for all the missionaries so that was pretty great. I think it
was the first time I hadn’t eaten tortillas and grease.
So last week on Monday
we visited a members house and they have a raccoon as a pet. Who knows what
happened to it but both of its back legs are broken and it crawls around the
house like the dog from family guy. When I asked the members about its broken
legs they say, "no yeah he’s fine. He’s just a little hurt right now but
he’ll be alright." its really sad but kinda really funny to see a raccoon
crawl around in a house.
The next day we were in
the street knocking on doors and this kid about 20 years old, a member, and is
a mute (like he cant talk) walked up to us in the street started clicking his tongue
and giving hi fives like usual. I have no clue where the kid lives or what his
name is but we know he is a member because there is a photo on the fridge of
him and other missionaries on the day of his baptism. He never goes to church
or anything but I thought I might ask him if he know of anyone we could share
our message with and he said ‘uh huh’ (yes) and started pointing in some
direction. I asked him if he could write the address down and he indicated that
he could so I gave him my planner. He wrote like a Nike sign and then like a v
or an n and then just like a bunch of lines (it looked like Hebrew) and started
to try and explain where it was. I guess you kinda had to be there because it
was super funny and bizarre. Yesterday this guy who is investigating the church
wanted to talk to someone about the church so he had us come with him. We didn’t
know where we were going but we followed this guy to a house where some lady
took us to The Church of God of Israel. We went into this chafe church and sat
down and this pastor came in. we talked for a few minutes and then started
talking about the bible. The whole time I was thinking ‘this is such a bad
idea.’ but we started talking and this guy started crashing on the Mormons and
explaining how his church was this and that. After like 15 minutes of him
talking my comp and I pulled out the scriptures and gave him responses to all
of his questions and basically proved that our church is the true church and
his face got way way red and I could tell he kinda felt dumb. We didn’t bible
bash really because there was no contention (for the most part) but supposedly
he wants to meet up with us again next Sunday so well see how that goes. The
guy who is investigating the church practically knows everything about the
bible and when we finished talking he said ‘how do you guys baptize?’ (To the
pastor) and he said " the same as the Mormons." the investigator said
"well good. I guess ill get baptized by the Mormons."
That’s about all I got
for this week. I hope you guys are doing well. I love you all a ton
