Companion: Hermana Zambrano
This week was super good and we were able to see
a ton of miracles in the work. We found a lot of new people to teach
and we have been working extra hard.
One day
this week, we were walking down the street and we saw an old man in his
lawn. We went over to talk to him and he came up to his fence. He put
his hands on my hair and started talking to me. I guess that there are a
lot of people in Mexico who have hair like mine, so he asked me if I
was from Mexico. The entire time he kept his hands on my hair. It was a
super strange experience.
One of the people we
met was really interesting. We were walking down one of the streets in
our area and we decided to try and knock on the door of one of the
former investigators who the elders who used to work in this area
taught. We wentp to the door and we knocked on it. We waited for a
while, but then a lady opened the door. We asked her if we could teach
her and she said yes. While we were teaching her, she looked really out
of it and we were wondering if she was on drugs, but she said that we
could come back.
Flash forward to a couple of
days ago. We went back for our return appointment and the lady answered
the door again. She asked us if we would like to go into her house. We
walked in and immediately noticed that something was up. There was
absolutely no furniture in the house. Rosario asked us to sit down, so
we sat on the fireplace step. We were teaching her across the room and
she kept giving us this strange stare and laughing a Joker-laugh. It was
super creepy. We asked her if she had had the opportunity to read in
the Book of Mormon. She said that she gave her copy to her cousin and
then gave us his phone number. Rosario told us that she couldn't come to
church because her cousin took away the key to her house.During the
rest of the lesson, Hermana Zambrano was really uncomfortable and
thought that Rosario was going to knife us. I did not notice her
concern, so I made a return appointment. After we left, we called the
number that we had for her cousin. The number was right, but he said
that he had never gotten a Book of Mormon and he didn't have a cousin
named Rosario. When we went back for the return appointment, we asked
her what her name was and she said that she was named Elizabeth. She was
still laughing really creepily and looking at us strangely, so we
decided to give her some time before we go back. Fun times on the fly.
One
cool story from the week. On Monday night, we were walking down the
street and we saw a little family walking around. We went up to talk to
them and we were telling them about how we share messages about how we
can come closer to Christ and be happier in our families. We got down
their contact information and they told us to come back the next day.
When we returned, we sat down and started talking to the parents. We
asked them how they were doing. The husband then told us all about his
life story and the problems that he has had. Then he told us that he
wants for his family to have a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ and that
they have been struggling as a family. They said that they had felt
something when we told them that we could help them out in their family
life. We taught them and it turned out really good. We are super excited
to teach the entire family!
This week was
pretty good. We met a lot of cool people who are interested in learning
more and we have been having a lot of really good lessons. This week, we
had a Zone Training Meeting and President Layton challenged all of us
to read through the Book of Mormon in 65 days.
It has been a really cool experience reading hard core through it. I
really have a testimony that the Book of Mormon in true and that the
church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth. I love being a
missionary and being able to share this message with other people as
well.
I hope that you all have a good week and that you are able to have fun! I love you all!
