Que onda mis amigos,
Alright this week was crazy. So much stuff happened so
everyone buckle up and get ready.
We'll start with Monday. Monday night we went to a
taco place called Las Ranas. I had never been there but it was super
awesome. What we did is we bought a whole kilo of meat al pastor and
split it. I'll have you all know that I was the only one out of four
missionaries there that finished the whole half kilo of meat. It was
legendary. But it also made me a little sick. Worth it.
Then on Tuesday we went on divisions with our zone
leaders. I went with Elder Kay to his area and it was awesome. At lunch I accidentally ate a chile pepper without taking out the seeds and
almost died. My mouth was on fire. Everyone was laughing but I was
just about crying because it was so hot. Then after lunch, the Sister
we ate with just kept on talking and talking and talking and Elder Kay and I
actually fell asleep in the middle of our conversation. Next thing we
knew another Elder was sharing the scripture before we left! Oops.
But in the afternoon something really cool happened. We were knocking on
doors and we hadn't had any success. Nobody wanted to listen to us.
Then Kay said, "Let's switch streets. We're gonna say a prayer, and
then we're gonna have the faith that we're gonna find three people to teach on
this street." So we did that and RIGHT AFTER the next three doors we
knocked on opened up to us, we taught them a little lession, and set another
appointment with them. That's the stuff I live for on the mission.
Also one of the investigators we met with has a super fat pitbull that almost ate me.
Then we made friends with these drunk people on our street
this week. They're pretty dang cool. They actually let us teach
them a whole lesson and they invited us over the other day to eat intestine
tacos! They were weird.
To finish I just want to talk a little bit about following
the Spirit. This week was a really good experience for me of the things
that can happen as a result of following the Spirit. First Kay and I had
the experience with prayer. Also, on Friday I had the feeling to visit
some contacts we made a long time ago, but we had never seen them since
then. But we went to their house, they were there, and they invited us
in. Guess what? There were ELEVEN people there. Turns out
they have a huge family and they all seemed pretty interested. We taught
them a little lesson after getting to know them and they invited us to come
back. Then yesterday my companion and I had the feeling to pass for some
people that we don't usually pass for to invite them to church. Well I
can promise that those impressions were the Spirit because we had 10
investigators at church with us yesterday. I just want to let you all know
that following the promptings of the Spirit brings blessings. It doesn't
matter if we think it's our own thoughts or the Spirit, if it's good, follow
it.
That's about it for this week! Love you guys!
Have a great one!
Elder Warren
