Week #….I don't remember

Wow!  What a week.

 

Monday, after we had finished emailing and were sitting at home writing letters, we received an interesting phone call.  It was from G****.  She wasn't really talking to us.  It was more of a background conversation.  We didn't hear much of what was going on.. but needless to say it didn't sound too good. So we asked her if we could come by.  She said yes.  So.. we jumped in the car.  My heart was in my stomach.  As we were driving over there, we got another phone call from her.  It was her telling V***** to leave her alone and not touch her.  Then she would yell for help.  She was calling us because V***** was abusing her.  We called the police.  Not sure if missionaries are supposed to do that.. but we did it anyway.

 

We showed up and she told us that he was doing cocaine and he was trying to steal money from her.  She wouldn't let him take it.  He asked us if we wanted to drink with him... literally he was fried and soooo gone.  He was waving his wine around and Sister Lightheart and I wanted to leave.  We asked G**** to leave with us.. and we ended up getting V***** kicked out.  HALLELUJAH.  The police told G****...  HE IS BAD NEWS.  Really?  haha It is like a reality TV show with them everyday.  SO DRAMATIC.

 

Tuesday, we taught G**** and she was so excited for baptism.  She was so happy that V***** was finally gone! :) YAY!  She told us this is something that she has been waiting for.  She wants to feel a part of a wonderful church.

 

Wednesday, Sister Lightheart and I were harvesting, working really hard to find those "elect" anddddd we got kicked out.  We got kicked out by this woman from Jerusalem.  We ended up asking her about her religious beliefs.  She said that she was living with her Catholic friend when she got a knock on the door.  It was two young men in white shirts and ties.  They asked if they were interested in learning more about Jesus Christ and she said.. YES!  So.. they taught her and she said they baptized her.  She doesn't remember what church...... awkward.  So.... then we told her what we were doing and what we believed.  Then she started telling us how she doesn't like Mormons.. so we tried to give her a Book of Mormon and she declined it.  It was an interesting day.. and an interesting experience.

 

Thursday we got a text. "V** came back.  I let him in.  I can't let him live on the streets." NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  I just started to cry.  We had do drop G****.  Hardest day of my life.  She was crying.  I was crying.  It was a mess.  

 

Friday, we taught T****** and A***, the mother and son that we harvested into last Sunday.  It was amazing. T****** asked me what she needed to do to be baptized.  It was SOOO AWESOME! :) 

Then.. while I was driving, there was a man that was laying in the street.  He was far away so I couldn't tell what was happening.. but then all the sudden he starts to shake uncontrollably.  I was freaking out.  I didn't know what to do.  Luckily there were people that started to run over to him and the EMS showed up pretty quickly.  It was terrifying.

 

Saturday, G**** called.  V***** had a heart attack.  She told us that the Doctor gave him Ambien to help him get off of the meds that he was addicted to...... and he took 21 of them before going to bed, probably trying to commit suicide.  I tell you.  He is a mess.  His left arm is paralyzed now. SOMEONE HELP HIM.

 

Sunday, while we were harvesting, this little girl yelled out her window, "COME HERE!!"  But we kept walking.  She yelled at us again. "COME BACK!" So... we went back.. about an hour later. :) haha It was a cute little family from Honduras.  They had 3 kids.  D****, I*******, and A******. :) A****** is the one that was yelling out of the window.  I instantly fell in love with this family.  We prayed with them and it was awesome!  They want us to come back.  I gave the kids some CTR rings and they were so excited!  Hopefully that motivates them. ha :)  

I also ate real coconut, like straight out of a coconut.  Its disgusting.  And the coconut water.  The Pina family was laughing at me.

Monday we had an amazing lesson with J******.  She is sooooo ready for everything!  I hope her mom lets her get baptized!  She is such an amazing person with a wonderful heart and so prepared for the gospel.  We taught her the Restoration and she loved it!  She is really excited to keep reading the Book of Mormon.

 

I love you all!  You are the best family ever!

 

Con Amor-
