Well, I can easily tell you
that this week was by far the most interesting week I have had on the mission.
We had a day this week
where we had a lesson every single hour and we were gonna teach a full. We
started out our day and little by little everybody canceled us...
noooooo!!! We remembered we had a
reference we received a good 2 months ago and tried to contact him but he wasn’t
ever there. We went and tried his house, and what do ya know, Walter was
there!
So we went in and
started talking. He told us he had just became interested in God and wanted to
learn more, woo! So we started teaching him and things were going great
and when we invited him to baptism if he felt the spirit, he told us yes, Woo!
Haha it was so sweet to find him, such an awesome dude after such a
crappy day where everything fell through.
After that we were
looking for more people to teach. We were biking past this super classy
old guy (who kinda reminds me of scotty boy Sherwood) named Geraldo. He
was working on his porch and we asked him if he needed help. We started
talking and we found out that he is Evangelista. We asked him if he
wanted to share a little bit of his knowledge with us so he let us in and his
whole family was there. They had a bunch of guitars and we started talking
and they told us that they were going to start singing praises. So they
started playing the guitar and singing and all that good stuff and it was super
sweet. I am going to copy some of the songs and send them to you guys.
After that they told us
to come back in a couple of days. So we went back. And when we got
there we found out that they meant, come back and we will all go to church
together. Haha so we went to their church, and it was SO different...
They had flutes, and bases, and guitars, and trumpets, and any instrument you
could think of. And they where all shouting and singing and saying things
like "THANK THE LORD HALLELUYA!" and crying and all that good stuff.
My companion and I had no clue what the heck we should do so we just sat
super super quiet in the corner and then we sang hymns with them and then they
told us that we have to bear our testimony. So we went in front of the
whole church and gave our testimony but only bible based haha we didn’t want to
offend anybody quite yet.
Well in other news my
bike chain is broken and I have to keep on putting it back on cause it falls
off every ten minutes. But look at the bright side, I’m a pro a putting chains
on bikes now. And one of the times my comp was trying to help me so he started
to flip the bike while I was standing up. Lets just say that now I know
how the moles feel in whack a mole. Haha it was a good whack but good
thing I was wearing my helmet, right?
I love you all. I
hope that things are good. Have a good week.
Love,
Andy
