Monday we got to go play some soccer with two kids that were already there. That was a lot of fun.
Tuesday
we went and picked up Elder Leichty from Farmington. Then he got a
little unpacked before we had a lesson. We then had splits that night. I
went with our elders quorum president and saw bro coleman. Bro
Christensen (Elders Quorum President) is awesome! He started testifying
and giving suggestions to Bro Coleman of how to quit smoking.
Wednesday
was crazy! We had exchanges with Escrito so I brought Elder Brown up to
Aztec and Elder Martin and Leichty went down to Escrito with Elder
Helsley. Well we had a lesson with a part member family and we brought a
member and the member just started testifying about prayer and the Book
of Mormon. It was great because that is what the non member needed to
here. And plus they've been life long friends! It's great! Then we went
for a walk. Well after about an hour and a half of walking in 90+ degree
weather Elder Brown needed a drink. So we go try a members house but
they weren't home. So we thought we'd stop by sonic and grab a drink for
him. Well as we are walking there a lady pulls over and asks if she
could by us a drink. Wow. Talk about a miracle! So she gives us like 3
dollars. Then we walk to sonic. Once we get there another lady asks if
she could by us a drink. We told her that we'd already been paid for but
we started talking to her about random stuff. Well, she was going
through the drive through and we were on foot so we are standing outside
her car as she is pulling up inch by inch. Well after about 5 minutes
of talking to her the manager comes out and tells us that she had just
gotten a complaint about us prosilyghting on Sonic's property and she
asked us to leave. lol. All well, so we walked over to a gas station and
get elder Brown his water. Then we were having dinner at our house when
we get a call from President Batt telling us that Elder Leichty is
being Emergency Transferred down to Indian Wells. That was a fast
tripanionship. So we had to meet up and get elder Leichty back so he
could pack what he had just un-packed.
Thursday....
I have never been yelled at, sworn at, and told Christ isn't real so
many times my entire mission. But right before we were finished with the
walk we were on a lady yelled at us to come back and teach her family!
Awesome!
Friday
we met with the Catholic guy that tried to convert us. His big thing
was Reason before Faith. It was interesting but he was a really nice
guy. Then we got to met with one of our old investigator who is going
through a hard time. We invited him to go and meet with the bishop on Sunday.
Saturday
we met with the guy that we had filled in ditches for all last week. He
wanted to pay us for the work we had done. Ya, that was an interesting
conversation telling him that we couldn't accept money from him because
it was against the rules. So we finally agreed that he could get us gift
cards to some food places around Aztec. That night we had a sports
night with all three wards in Aztec. We played soccer! That was sooooooo
much fun. I did really well. I scored a few goals while I was in the
field and had a lot of really nice, some diving, saves while I was in
goal.
Sunday.... Fast Sunday.
So what do Elder Martin and I decide to do?! Go for a two hour walk
before church! Brilliant! Just Brilliant. So we were thirsty all the way
through church. But the investigator that we met with on Friday
came and was able to talk to the bishop. I went in to him a little more
at ease and it went really well. The bishop gave him some great advise
and we ended up giving him a blessing.
Well I hope you all have a great week! Until next time, Hagoonee'!
