Hi
So this
week was good... first Tuesday was a weird one. So, I was on exchanges with Elder
Smiler from New Zealand and we were in our area. Our second appointment we went
to teach Jhuff our recent convert but he wasn't there, but his family friend
was there from Manila named Joe Allitore, so we taught him. But first we just
talked to him, got to know him and what not and he just told us about his life.
He's had a rough life-- like his mom has died and like 3 of his siblings have
also. He can't read and he is an MMA fighter, so ya anyways so we taught him
hope and shared Ether 12:7 (I think?? I forgot) Anyways, after the lesson he's
like "So you just baptized Jhuff into your church right?" and we were
like “ya” than he's like, “well can I be baptized this Sunday?” haha and we
were like haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa na...... But ya I didn't know what to say because
he's not from San Fernando. But it was cool. He's like the most humble awesome
bro man dude dog.
The next
lesson we taught was to this guy named Edgar who we were referred to and he was
hammered drunk during the lesson. But anyways, he asked like 8370534 questions
and we couldn't even get a lesson in cause it was just him talking and the
whole time he was drinking and crying and said he was gonna kill himself
because his mom is sick in the hospital and why did God do that to him and why
did 'god' make beer and stupid stuff like that. We would answer his questions
than he'd just fire another stupid question and stuff. But anyways, so he was
crazy but once He finally stopped crying/ talking I said, "okay Edgar what
if I told you the gospel of Jesus Christ could tell you where your mom will go
when she dies, give you the desire to stop drinking, a desire to live, and
bring you happiness" or something gay like that and he's like “ohhh.....
ohhh yes... I need that.” Then he started crying again, but it was pretty cool.
I sweat
all day every day aaaaand the mesh garment tops are the best, so if you could
send me those (((::: just the tops. we have a baptism this Saturday-- Gwenn
Gacayan. But her parents and little bro were supposed to be baptized as well
but they bailed like they always do. So last night me and my comp taught them
about Lot’s wife and Lehi’s family and pretty much move forward and don't look back
because their problem is worldly things. But we said, “Okay, you have these dates
for your baptism to choose from. And we gave them some dates in May. Then we
were like, "pray about it and let us know.”
So that's
about it... I figured out my comp, Elder Defacto is the same age as Bryson...
So that was kinda weird cause I’m like............... wow you could be my
brother????
Anyways yup, love you. Bye
