Hey there everybody!
All right so here’s the
dirt on last week why I didn’t write. First it was my birthday so we went
to have a district activity that was a good hour trip there and another hour
trip back so we lost a couple of hours and then we didn’t have time to write. Anyways
I am here now writing about what’s going on this week and a bit from last week.
First, last week.
We have a super super sweet investigator named Neli. She kinda
reminds me of a grandma Shirley who was drinking a lot of coffee. She is
super awesome. This week we saw her walking in the street with another grandma
who was crying. We pulled over and started to talk to them and the sad
grandma said that she lost her husband. We tried calming her down for a
good 30 minutes and said prayers and told her that all will turn out ok but it
wasn’t really working. So we asked her what we could do to help her
out.
We went all over looking
for her husband, including going to the hospital and waiting in line for 20
minutes to ask if he was there.
We didn’t find anything
so we had to return empty handed. When we got back they told us that we
could keep on going and that they are going to keep looking.
4 days later we saw Neli
and she told us that when they got back to the house of the grandma the husband
was there the whole time and that a friend of the grandma told her that she
forgets alot and that this is a frequent thing. Haha I love older people.
Besides that it was my
birthday! We cooked some tacos and ate outside of the church and our President
of the Branch, Presidente Magariños, is a dang baller and gave me one of his
medals that he won in a marathon that he did. Man he is so dang nice I
can’t even tell you. Haha also he is teaching me how to dance.
I cut my own hair now.
My companero and I don’t
know if we have gas from a tank or if it is lined here so we have been eating
cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the last 7 days haha.
It’s a good thing
that I really like oatmeal, right?
Thanks for
everything. I love you all. I am praying for you all and the big man is
watching out for you. Be safe.
EVOL,
Elder Merkley
